Another major data center project is coming to the fast-growing Atlanta market.
)
Stack Infrastructure has filed plans to build a data center campus in Douglas County’s Lithia Springs. The $380.9M project is planned to feature a pair of three-story data center buildings totaling 879K SF. First reported by Data Center Dynamics, the proposed facility is the latest of several major data center developments launched in the booming Atlanta market in recent months.
Denver-based Stack submitted details for its Lithia Springs campus in a filing with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs on Friday. Planned for an undeveloped parcel at 808 Factory Shoals Road, the expected completion date for the project is listed as May 2026. Bohler Engineering is listed as a co-developer.
Until recently, Stack had listed the Lithia Springs parcel as a build-to-suit opportunity on its website since 2021, according to DCD. The listing indicated the site consisted of 39 acres with access to 48 megawatts of capacity.
Stack is no newcomer to the Atlanta area. It has operated a 7 MW data center in the market since the company was launched in 2019, and a planned expansion could add 12 MW.
But Stack’s project is just the most recent addition to a growing pipeline in an Atlanta market that continues to see a data center building boom. The market’s 390 MW capacity is expected to grow significantly in the months ahead, with 152 MW already under construction and 571 MW in planning, according to an August JLL report.
T5 Data Centers in September filed plans for a 3M SF, seven-building campus in Coweta County, while Vantage Data Centers in August submitted plans for a three-building campus in Douglas County. EdgeConneX is also looking into building in Douglas County, while Edged Energy and DataBank have started work on data centers in Atlanta itself. Major data center firms and cloud providers like Digital Realty, Google, Microsoft, CoreSite, Flexential and QTS already have a major presence in Georgia.
The growth of Atlanta as a major data center market has been fueled at least in part by constraints on land and power in the industry’s primary hub of Northern Virginia. But while Georgia does offer developers more readily available power and lower land prices today, industry insiders said at a Bisnow event in November that the constraints being felt in Northern Virginia are likely in Atlanta’s future as well.
