ATLANTA — DC BLOX will develop four new data centers in the Southeastern United States. The company is currently underway on its 68-acre Atlanta East campus in Conyers, Ga., roughly 24 miles east of downtown Atlanta. The facility will consist of two buildings with more than 1 million square feet of data center space at full build-out.
The campus will initially deliver 10 megawatts (MW) of power for an undisclosed hyperscale client, with an expansion capacity of up to 120 MW for additional clients. Data center power refers to the amount of energy required to operate all the components of the facility, including servers and related IT hardware, as well as the cooling systems.
DC BLOX broke ground on the project in September 2024. Delivery is slated for the fourth quarter of 2025.
“DC BLOX’s presence in Conyers is a transformative step for our region,” says Kevin Hanna, president of the development authority of Rockdale County through the Conyers Rockdale Economic Development Council. “Their collaboration with local stakeholders and commitment to innovation will be foundational for future tech investments in our community.”
In conjunction with the Atlanta East data center, DC BLOX will build a network of fiber cables around the Atlanta metropolitan area, which will enable regional connectivity from the campus. Fiber optic cables can transmit data signals over long distances with minimal energy loss.
DC BLOX also plans to construct two new facilities in Montgomery and Huntsville, Ala., as well as a third project in North Augusta, S.C. The Montgomery facility will support 5 MW of critical power, with the capacity to expand up to 40MW. The North Augusta and Huntsville sites are each designed to provide 5 MW of power. Further details regarding these developments and their hyperscale tenants were not disclosed.
DC BLOX is a digital infrastructure provider based in Atlanta. The company was founded and opened its first data center in the city in 2014. DC BLOX now operates data centers in Atlanta; Birmingham, Ala.; Huntsville; Chattanooga, Tenn.; Greenville, S.C.; and Myrtle Beach, S.C.
