Plans have been filed for a new data center outside Atlanta, Georgia.

Sailfish Investors has filed a Developments of Regional Impact with the Georgia Department of Community Affairs for a new data center outside the city of Social Circle.

The company aims to develop a 1.78 million sq ft data center site along Social Circle Parkway. The project looks set to complete by January 2027.

Few other details are available. DCD has reached out for more information.

Social Circle is a city in southern Walton and Newton Counties, some 45 miles east of Atlanta. Meta has a data center just outside Social Circle.

Sailfish describes itself as a real estate investment and operating platform for the acquisition, development, and operation of infill industrial and data center properties throughout high-growth Sun Belt markets. The company is led by Ryan Hughes, previously of HighBrook Investors and Cushman & Wakefield.

Hughes told DCD: "We are big believers that the Covington-Stanton Springs-Social Circle I-20 corridor will emerge as Atlanta’s next data center hotspot. We are very excited to pursue our 344-acre campus in Walton County alongside our partners at the City of Social Circle and the Development Authority of Walton County."

He said that on the tenant side, the company is "involved in in-depth conversations with several hyperscalers."

Including the Social Circle development, Hughes said Sailfish is currently in the early stages of developing thirteen data center campus campuses across the US.

"These developments cover 5,700 acres in Dallas, Atlanta, Austin, Charlotte, and Council Bluffs with a majority of its proposed developments adjacent to existing natural gas and nuclear power plants," he added.
