Digital Realty Adding to Robust Charlotte Data Center Sector

Digital Realty completed the purchase of 155 acres at 12899 Moores Chapel Road in Charlotte to build a data center. The company bought the site from The Keith Corp. for $160 million.

Digital Realty is headquartered in Austin, Texas, and owns and operates data centers worldwide. The company has over 300 data centers across more than 55 metro areas globally.

The Charlotte Business Journal reports Digital Realty’s acquisition appears to add to a string of data center investments piling up in North Carolina and the Charlotte region.

PowerHouse Data Centers and Town Lane recently bought 122 acres off University City Boulevard for $45.5 million. That site will be home to a five-building, 2.5 million-square-foot data center campus.

Microsoft Corp. has started construction on three data centers in Catawba County. Those facilities are part of a $1 billion investment the tech giant announced in 2022.
