US data center operator DC Blox has broken ground on a new data center campus outside Atlanta, Georgia.

“Construction has begun on our Atlanta East Hyperscale Data Center Campus. The facility is designed to accommodate hundreds of thousands of square feet with 216MW of total power committed by Georgia Power,” the company said on LinkedIn this week, “With a hyperscale client anchoring the first phase of the project, additional space will open up for tenants with expected delivery in Q4 2025.”

DC Blox first announced plans for a data center in Conyers, Rockdale County, in December 2023. The company said the 72-acre site would span 750,000 square feet (69,675 sqm), though filings with the state suggest the site could total 1,016,828 square feet (94,466 sqm).

A hyperscale client is anchoring the first phase of the project, and 160,000 sq ft (14,865 sqm) of space will be available to additional tenants with expected delivery in Q4 2025.

DC Blox operates one existing facility in Atlanta in the Brookhaven area. The facility, at 6 West Druid Hills Drive, spans 3,350 sq ft (311 sqm) and has two 1MW generators. It has 6,470 sq ft (600 sqm) expansion potential.

The company announced plans for another campus – known as Atlanta West – in November 2023. The site was originally set to host two buildings on the ATL1 West campus; the 80MW Building A and the 40MW Building B, along with a substation; DC Blox filed to add a third, 80MW, building earlier this year.

DC Blox operates facilities across Atlanta, Georgia; Birmingham and Huntsville, Alabama; and Chattanooga, Tennessee, as well as a cable landing station in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. More are in development, including around Richmond, Virginia.
