Atlas Development has filed an application for Project Bus, a large 350-acre campus. The development could see up to 12 buildings and two substations developed.

Further details about the company's plans for the site haven't been shared.

The campus could be completed by 2036. According to the application, the value of the project at full build-out could total $11 billion.

Temple is a city in Carroll and Haralson counties, some 40 miles west of downtown Atlanta.

Atlas describes itself as a full-service data center developer specializing in power-ready, future-proof sites tailored for hyperscale and enterprise clients. The company claims to have 18 sites under control and a development pipeline exceeding 7.5GW.

The company has filed for two separate developments in Rome, Floyd County, and another 2.2 million sq ft (204,387 sqm), six-building campus in Bartow County, some 40 miles (64km) northwest of Atlanta. The company is also planning a 428-acre technology park outside Villa Rica, some 30 miles (48km) west of Atlanta.

The company sold Project Sail, a 900MW planned campus in Georgia’s Coweta County, to real estate giant Prologis last year.

Atlanta is becoming a major data center hub, with the likes of Digital Realty, CoreSite, Switch, Google, Microsoft, Flexential, H5, and QTS developing or operating data centers in the Atlanta area – largely around Lithia Springs or Douglasville.

The Peach State looks set to grow quickly in the coming years. Traditionally a Tier 2 market, the region has quickly become a major hotspot for data center development. DRI applications for more than a dozen campuses, totaling tens of millions of square feet across dozens of buildings, have been filed over the last couple of years.
