DC BLOX, a leading provider of connected data centres and dark fibre solutions across South East America, has announced the recent purchase and commencement of construction of a cutting-edge data centre campus in Douglasville, Georgia.
With this strategic move, DC BLOX is set to expand its data centre portfolio in close proximity to Atlanta, expanding the region’s explosive growth as a core data centre market and addressing the growing needs of hyperscale and AI/ML platform and application provider tenants in the heart of the region’s data centre alley.
With an expected capital investment of over US$1.2 billion, the site is supported by robust tax incentives coordinated by Elevate Douglas Economic Partnership. The recent property acquisition and initiation of construction demonstrates DC BLOX’s commitment to invest its resources to stay ahead of emerging market needs.
The site will also be connected to DC BLOX’s nearly 500-mile dark fibre route, the first high-capacity East-to-West fibre path connecting the major communications hubs in Atlanta, through Augusta and on to the DC BLOX Cable Landing Station in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. The dark fibre route is expected to be completed in Q4 2023.
Designed to meet demanding hyperscale requirements, the two-story data centre campus will feature 12 data halls, totalling 750,000 square feet of gross space on 55 acres. 180MW of power has been committed for the campus with initial customer move-in expected Q3 2025.
