A year after entering the Metro Atlanta market, Vantage Data Centers is seeking a second helping of projects.

The Denver-based data center operator is seeking to develop two data centers totaling more than 1.4M SF in South Fulton County, according to two applications filed with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs, which assesses developments that will have a regional impact on infrastructure.

The firm is looking to build a 697K SF data center at the southwest side of the intersection of Stacks and Mallory roads just south of South Fulton Parkway, according to the filing. Vantage also is proposing a 754K SF data center 10 miles north of the first project on land sandwiched between Plummer Road and Riverside Drive. The two facilities are expected to deliver in 2027 and 2028, according to the application.

Calls to Vantage were not returned as of press time.

Vantage took steps last year to debut in Metro Atlanta’s hot data center market when it filed a development of regional impact application for a three-building data center campus totaling 1.6M SF off Riverside Parkway in Douglasville. It is unclear if the data center operator — which owns data centers in Virginia, California and Arizona as well as Germany, Hong Kong and Italy — has begun construction on that project.

Vantage is part of a crowded field. Data center operators in Georgia offered 310 megawatts of power — how the industry measures data centers — as of the second half of 2023, according to CBRE. But hyperscale data center users are seeking 4,000 megawatts of power in the state, and developers were quick to respond.

Construction of new data centers in Georgia jumped more than 200% from 235 megawatts in the first half of 2023 to 732 megawatts in the second half, CBRE reported.
