The project includes a 120-megawatt (MW) data center, with plans for an additional 80 MW of capacity by 2027. This expansion strengthens DC BLOX’s ability to serve hyperscale clients. Melih Ileri, SVP of Capital Markets & Strategy at DC BLOX, stated: “Securing this capital confirms confidence in our execution track record. Continuing to deliver our projects on-time and with excellence has earned us the trust of our customers and investors, leading to this historic growth in our business.”
This initiative follows DC BLOX’s recent announcements of hyperscale edge nodes across the southeast, with additional capacity in Conyers and Douglasville, Georgia. These developments position the company to significantly expand its presence in the Atlanta region, which Jeff Uphues, CEO of DC BLOX, described as a rapidly growing market. He said: “With this latest project announcement, DC BLOX continues to deliver on its mission to build the foundational digital infrastructure needed to drive the southeast’s growing economy. 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.”
Founded a decade ago, DC BLOX has become a key player in the southeastern digital infrastructure landscape, operating interconnected data centers, fiber networks, and cable landing stations. The new financing builds on a previous $265 million green loan and growth equity from Post Road Group secured in the fourth quarter of 2024, enhancing the company’s capacity to meet rising digital infrastructure needs driven by hyperscale growth.
Michael Bogdan, managing partner at Post Road Group, commented: “The DC BLOX management team has done a terrific job positioning the business for success in the Southeast with a consistent focus on serving the customer and community. We are thankful to all our capital partners who have helped capitalise the company to meet the tremendous hyperscale and edge growth the company has experienced.”
The Douglas County campus underscores DC BLOX’s commitment to sustainable digital infrastructure, supporting economic growth and technological advancement in the region.
