A data center operator is looking for room to grow at its Peachtree Corners facility.

Flexential is seeking approval from the Peachtree Corners City Council to expand into a 48K SF, single-story flex office building at 2775 Northwoods Parkway, according to the council's Nov. 12 agenda.

Clovelly Fund, owner of 2755 Northwoods, is under contract to sell the facility to Flexential for an undisclosed sum, pending city approval, said Charles Beard, principal of the fund.

Flexential already has an existing data center facility at 2775 Northwoods Parkway but will need a special permit for the expansion.

Peachtree Corners revised its ordinances last year to require data center operators to seek a special use permit for facilities within the light industrial-zoned parcels of its central business district along Peachtree Parkway, said Bertrand Lapoire, the city’s economic development director, in an email.

For the project, dubbed ATL 07, Flexential plans to create a 30K SF data hall. The company will install four air-cooled chillers, using a closed-loop water system, that are built to cool operations that operate at 150 watts per square foot or less.

That wattage threshold would rule out AI data center uses, according to documents filed with the city.

“ATL 07 is designed to serve a retail colocation customer base, which typically operates at lower power densities compared to AI compute workloads,” Flexential said in the document. “In contrast, AI compute environments often require densities exceeding 500–1,000 watts per square foot, which demand specialized cooling infrastructure such as liquid cooling and significantly higher electrical capacity.”

Flexential did not return messages seeking comment.

Clovelly has fielded multiple offers for 2755 Northwoods, Beard said.

While single-story flex industrial and office are a commodity in Peachtree Corners, the supply is also limited. Beard said customers are drawn to shallow-bay and flex warehouses for their ability to accommodate a diversity of uses.

“If you’re doing anything from food-grade stuff to building transformers, they aren’t building any more” shallow bay, he said.

Metro Atlanta’s industrial market has thrived due to the strength of smaller-sized tenants over the past year, Bisnow previously reported.

The Peachtree Corners City Council is expected to vote on the project on Dec. 19.
