A developer is hoping to build a hyperscale data center campus in Hampton, Georgia, the latest in a flood of large-scale data center projects planned in the Atlanta market.

Slated for a 603-acre site roughly 30 miles south of Midtown Atlanta, the proposed campus would entail 4M SF of data center space across five buildings, according to filings with state officials. The target timeline for the project’s completion is listed as 2033.
The identity of the developer behind the campus remains unclear — filings list only “Hampton Technology Park Owner, Llc.” The application also provides no information about how much power the campus may use or who the end user of the data centers may be.
The project joins a torrent of new data center development planned for the Peach State, with the Atlanta market emerging as a national leader in data center demand.
Atlanta is the fifth-largest U.S. data center hub, with a wave of inventory under construction set to more than double the size of the market, according to JLL. This comes after Atlanta already saw its data center inventory more than triple between 2023 and 2024, surpassing Northern Virginia in absorption for the first time.
The Atlanta data center pipeline has continued to grow in the first two months of 2026, particularly south of the city. Just this week, Blackstone-owned Link Logistics filed plans to develop a campus in Fulton County. A week earlier, CBRE-owned Trammell Crow was approved for a 1,600-acre campus 60 miles south of Atlanta in Forsyth.
In January, a subsidiary of Hillwood filed plans to develop a 2.2M SF project in Spalding County, where days earlier county officials had approved a separate data center project with an estimated price tag of $4B. In total, at least seven data center projects have been proposed or approved since the start of the year.
Hampton specifically has been a target for developers, with a number of projects developed or proposed in the Atlanta suburb and surrounding Henry County. The most high-profile of these developments is a 240-megawatt, four-building campus just completed by Equinix. The data center REIT told investors this month the facility has secured a tenant and is scheduled to come online in the coming months.
Like many communities experiencing a surge in data center build-out, Hampton is considering temporarily pausing approval of new projects. Data Center Dynamics reports that city officials are set to discuss a 120-day moratorium on new data center developments while the city evaluates their impact.
