Strategic Joint Development to Support the Increasing Need for Scalable Data Center Power & Capacity in the Southeast
BOSTON, MA (JULY 16, 2024) – TA Realty LLC (TA Realty), a provider of real estate investment management services, and EdgeConneX, a global provider of data center solutions, announce today the joint development of a 324MW hyperscale data center campus in Atlanta, GA.
In addition to acquiring the site, TA Realty, through its dedicated hyperscale development arm TA Digital Group LLC (TA Digital Group), will manage power procurement and secure all necessary utilities, zoning approvals, permits, and entitlements, addressing the complexities and challenges inherent in these processes. EdgeConneX will bring its comprehensive experience in designing, building and operating data centers. By combining their respective expertise, both companies will aim to ensure the successful delivery of this project with the goal of bringing the site live on time and on budget. This collaborative effort brings together the strengths of each company, in an effort to provide a comprehensive and efficient data center development process from inception to completion that is optimized for hyperscale customer requirements.
TA Realty’s extensive background in real estate and its power-first approach to data centers are enhanced by its rich legacy in the Atlanta market, coupled with its broad presence in other Tier 1 markets. Positioned strategically in a key Atlanta sub-market, this location serves as a crucial element in the company’s broader plan to develop large-scale data center complexes in major metropolitan areas. This initiative also highlights TA Digital Group’s dedication to sustainable development and proactive community involvement. Through that dedication and by harnessing the existing resources and infrastructure of Atlanta, TA Realty aims to not only ensure the enduring value of its assets but also foster a positive social impact.
