T5 announces plans to build a new data center campus in Atlanta

Aug. 30, 2024
The site will support up to 300 MW of power capacity.

On August 28, T5 Data Centers announced development plans for ATL IV, a new data center campus in South Fulton County, Georgia.

David Horowitz, senior vice president and head of leasing at T5, said in a press release that the Atlanta region has remained a key market for the company since its inception.

“Our relationships with key stakeholders in Atlanta and our expertise in this market allows us to strategically locate sites that will support our customers’ unprecedented growth in a time frame superior to our competition,” said Horowitz. “This is only the beginning of our growth in Atlanta.”

The facility is T5’s fourth in the Atlanta area, and the company reports the campus will have a scalable power capacity of up to 300 MW. T5 reports an onsite electrical substation will be operational in 2026.

“We are not just building a data center campus; we are creating a future-ready environment where hyperscalers and large enterprises can thrive,” said T5 CEO Pete Marin in the same press release. “By providing liquid cooling to the rack, T5 is setting a new standard for energy efficiency and sustainability in data center construction and operations.”
