Other DC BLOX Data Centres
The data centre campus project comes on the heels of recently announced DC BLOX projects. These projects include several hyperscale edge nodes across the Southeast. Additionally, with additional hyperscale-ready data center capacity available in Conyers, Georgia and Douglasville, Georgia, DC BLOX is set to rapidly expand its presence around Atlanta.
“With this latest project announcement, DC BLOX upholds its mission to build the foundational digital infrastructure needed to drive the Southeast’s growing economy,” said Jeff Uphues, CEO of DC BLOX. “Atlanta is the fastest-growing data center market in the US today, and we are proud to enable our customers to expand their footprint in our region.”
Lastly, this financing comes in after the $265 million green loan that was secured from leading industry lenders, as well as the growth equity that was committed by Post Road Group in the fourth quarter of 2024. Therfore, DC BLOX is now well positioned to meet the capacity of the rapidly increasing digital infrastructure demand. This demand is usually fueled by hyperscaler expansion.
