DC BLOX Secures $1.15 Billion Green Loan for Atlanta Data Center Campus Development

DC BLOX, a prominent provider of connected data center and fiber network solutions in the Southeastern United States, has successfully closed a $1.15 billion green loan. This financing is earmarked for the construction of a data center campus in Douglas County, Georgia, designed to accommodate the escalating demands of cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) workloads. The project includes the development of a 120 MW data center, with plans for campus expansion to support an additional 80 MW by 2027.

Melih Ileri, SVP of Capital Markets & Strategy at DC BLOX, highlighted the significance of this financing, stating, 'Securing this capital confirms confidence in our execution track record.' This development is part of DC BLOX's broader strategy to enhance its digital infrastructure footprint across the Southeast, following recent projects such as multiple hyperscale edge nodes in the region.

Jeff Uphues, CEO of DC BLOX, emphasized the project's alignment with the company's mission to support the Southeast's burgeoning 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,' Uphues remarked. The financing builds on previous financial milestones, including a $265 million green loan and growth equity from Post Road Group in late 2024, positioning DC BLOX to meet the surging demand for digital infrastructure.

Michael Bogdan, Managing Partner at Post Road Group, praised DC BLOX's management team for their strategic focus on customer and community service, which has been instrumental in the company's growth. The financing was facilitated by a consortium of leading financial institutions, with ING Capital LLC serving as the Structuring and Administrative Agent, among others.

This initiative underscores the critical role of digital infrastructure in driving economic growth and technological advancement, particularly in regions experiencing rapid digital transformation. The DC BLOX data center campus in Douglas County is poised to become a cornerstone of the Southeast's digital economy, offering scalable solutions for hyperscalers, enterprises, and technology companies.
