DC BLOX, a leading provider of connected data centers and dark fiber solutions in southeast, has acquired 72 acres of land in Conyers, GA to develop a state-of-the-art, 750,000 square foot hyperscale data center campus. The site, located in Rockdale County just 24 miles from downtown Atlanta, will initially house a 160,000 square foot facility for a major hyperscale anchor tenant, with additional capacity for more clients. Completion is expected by Q4 2025.
DC BLOX is working with partners like Evans General Contractors, DLB Associates, Corgan, Thomas & Hutton, and Bennett & Pless on the planning, design and construction of the new facility. The company has incorporated feedback from local government and economic development leaders in Conyers and Rockdale County to ensure the project fits community needs.
Georgia Power set to supply electricity to the upcoming DC BLOX campus
To meet the massive and growing demand for data center capacity in the Southeast, driven by factors like hyperscaler growth and AI/ML adoption, the new DC BLOX campus in Conyers will harness 216MW of power supplied by Georgia Power. The site offers room for future expansion as needs evolve.
In conjunction with the data center development, DC BLOX plans to build a dark fiber network ring around Metro Atlanta. This will not only massively boost data capacity for campus tenants, but also connect to DC BLOX’s existing subsea cable landing station in Myrtle Beach, SC. This will give clients enhanced global connectivity and resilience.
The Development Authority of Rockdale County and Conyers Rockdale Economic Development Council (CREDC) have actively supported incentives to attract DC BLOX. Officials praised the investment for advancing economic growth and tech ecosystem goals for the region. The project is expected to spur additional development.
“With our unique capabilities across data center and fiber network infrastructure, DC BLOX is ideally positioned to meet and stay ahead of the requirements of large-scale clients,” said Jeff Uphues, CEO of DC BLOX. “Our new Conyers campus underscores our continued commitment to enabling the southeast data center and connectivity market.”
