12-Month Outlook

The top four operators—Flexential and Digital Realty (11 facilities each), DataBank (7), and Switch (5)—control approximately half the tracked base, leaving significant fragmentation across smaller and unverified listings.

The verdict to avoid reflects the difficulty of securing incremental supply at scale, not market demand or facility quality; operators will face extended timelines and elevated costs for new power connections or upgrades.

Recent deal flow includes a lease arrangement involving QumulusAI, though terms and counterparty identity remain unreported. The broader Atlanta region shows active development: Carrier Connect recently secured a 4 MW lease for an entire facility outside the city limits, suggesting operators are finding capacity by expanding beyond core metros. Regional news has flagged Atlanta as a top market for data center construction, though local and state leadership discussions around potential moratoriums reflect tension between growth velocity and infrastructure strain.

The combination of tight power availability and ongoing construction velocity creates an asymmetric market where new entrants face meaningfully harder power procurement than existing operators with established utility relationships.
