Early Growth in Atlanta Data Centers

Atlanta’s emergence as a computing hub began with a wave of data center development across the metro area.Through 2022, at least 46 facilities totaling roughly 0.5 GW had been delivered, laying the groundwork for the industrial real estate ecosystem that followed.

Data Center Vendor Leasing Follows

As data centers were constructed, industrial leasing emerged in adjacent corridors.Leases tracked since 2022 show construction, data center hardware, and logistics tenants occupying space to support the growing data center ecosystem.

Data Centers and Vendor Warehouse Leasing Grow Together

Data center deliveries and tracked vendor leasing of warehouse space expand across the metro year over year.Each new data center draws a network of suppliers, generating adjacent industrial real estate demand in the Atlanta market.

Looking Ahead: More Atlanta Data Center Growth on the Way

A maximum capacity of approximately 10 GW is expected to come online by 2030—more than three times what has been built to date.This pipeline should sustain vendor demand for industrial real estate tied to data centers for years to come.Atlanta’s role as a regional distribution hub compounds the effect, drawing warehouse tenants that serve markets well beyond metro Atlanta itself.

Vendor Warehouse Leasing Stretches Beyond Atlanta’s Core

For many data center vendors, immediate proximity isn’t necessary. A corridor of activity along I-75 from Kennesaw to Calhoun shows some vendors locating well north of the data centers they serve.Proximity does matter, however, for vendors providing auxiliary logistics, heavy machinery, construction staging and product testing services.

Vendor Lease Types Tied to Data Centers

Vendor leasing of industrial space here falls into two categories tied to data center growth.• Construction leases cover industrial space used for the physical development of new data centers.
• Multi-industry and hardware leases represent a broader range of vendors—supporting both buildouts and ongoing operations—occupying warehouse space nearby.

Inside Lithia Springs’ Vendor Leasing Cluster

A cluster of vendor warehouse leasing has formed in Lithia Springs, where several data centers have drawn a concentration of supporting industrial tenants.Most are construction leases, consistent with active buildout nearby.

Link Logistics’ Footprint in the Data Center Boom

Link Logistics leases warehouse space to data center vendors across the metro, anchored by a cluster in Lithia Springs and a single lease in Forest Park.Both submarkets sit at the intersection of data center capacity and industrial real estate demand.
