An investment firm from the land of swimming poolsandmovie stars scooped up a data center in the older section of Downtown Atlanta. Beverly Hills-based H5 Capital bought the 108k SF 345 Courtland St, its first data centeron the East Coast. (Somebody told them about Nor'easters first, right?) H5 paid $14M for the property, which is mainly leased to Level 3 Communications for almost 20 years.

Raulet Properties'Tyler Edgartonand Paul Rauletbought the building in 2006 through an investment venture independent of Raulet.

(That sounds like PR speak for bet it all onOrb.) CBRE'sTom Shafer(above at a recent Bisnow event) andCJ Kelleyout of Atlanta brokered the sale.
