Facebook planning multi-billion dollar data center in Newton County

https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/...er-campus.html
Quote:
Facebook's proposed 416-acre data center campus in metro Atlanta could be the biggest economic development project in Georgia's history.

The Menlo Park, Calif.-based social network is expected to invest more than $40 billion over two decades and create about 500 jobs, a source said Tuesday. That dwarfs previous investment estimates.

Facebook, which will develop the campus in five phases, would initially invest $750 million and create up to 100 tech jobs. The overall investment would include land acquisition costs, facility buildouts, server equipment and backup power generators.

Its hard to imagine a $20-40 billion data center campus. The scale of it would have to be unreal. I wonder if the bond includes something besides the Facebook project.

As a bit of a side bar conversation, while i'm sure the technology continues to improve, when I studied data centers a few years ago they consumed hundreds of thousands of gallons of water a day for cooling. Considering Georgia's water wars with TN and FL, we should definitely consider the long term implications of such "investments".

Trammell Crow planning up to 300 apartments near Avondale MARTA station

Quote:
Trammell Crow Residential is in the initial stage of proposing a 250-to-300-unit apartment project, with street-level retail, just east of the station along East College Avenue at Hillyer Avenue and Maple Street.


Trammell Crow has the site under contract. It’s set to present the $50 million development to the Avondale Estates Architectural Review Board Feb. 5. It has not submitted formal plans, according to a city representative.

First look at Trammell Crow's planned Avondale apartment project

to be called "Alexan Gateway".

I'm happy see development taking off in Avondale because there is lot of TOD potential in that area.

I really hope someone opens an avonKALE in that retail spot. That name is the best thing about this rendering.

^And "Sufficient Grounds" is a hilarious name for a coffee shop. Kudos to the intern who came up with those names.

It's not ugly but it's very underwhelming for an international brand icon.

Porsche did a better job... in Hapeville of all places

it's the precast parking deck adjacent that really takes away from things... speaking of, i noticed a bigger one behind, and what looks to be an additional development of some sort (cassions coming out of the ground) - does anyone know what that is? (is it a phase II for mercedes or something else entirely?)

finally, what would it be without atlanta's ubiquitous transmission lines marring the landscape... lol

Tru Hotel proposed at Porsche Experience Center

https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/...source=twitter

Quote:
Developers who were behind the Solís Two Porsche Drive, a 214-room upscale hotel that opened in late 2017 on the Porsche campus, are now proposing a second hotel.

Plans are for a four-story hotel on about three acres next to the Solís hotel, according to an application submitted by Scott Condra of Castleton-Condra Three Porsche Avenue LLC.

The 179-room hotel would “create a connected campus” with the neighboring Solís hotel, according to the application. “There will be a car display area as well as connectivity to the adjacent property for both pedestrians and vehicles.”

https://www.bizjournals.com/atlanta/...y-airport.html

Quote:
The city of College Park is launching a $500 million-plus mixed-use development on 320 acres, with potential to create thousands of jobs and representing a major step in making the region’s “Aerotropolis” vision of concentrated development around Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport a reality.

The project, for now dubbed “Airport City College Park,” is envisioned as a mix of class A office, as many as 10 hotels, restaurants, retail and residential. It would be the first major development created outside the airport under the aegis of an “Aerotropolis” — denser development around the airport, which began when Porsche Cars North America located its headquarters in Hapeville and has continued with the airport’s latest master plan. The Atlanta Aerotropolis Alliance has worked to develop the concept.

But don't me wrong. Provided this master plan ever comes to fruition, it would a huge game changer for the I-85 south corridor
