The proton therapy center costs over $200 million with no tower.

Based on the info from the latest ABC, the data center is only 60 - 80K SQF. The physical office portion is 600K and the rest retail or some other use. $300 Million still sounds extremely high.

The new project would rise over Tech Square on the site that housed the Crum & Forster building at 4th and Spring streets. It would add up to 750,000 square feet of new development to Tech Square, including a new 600,000-square-foot office building anchored by Georgia Tech, and a High Performance Computing Center.

Georgia Tech will put itself on an even larger stage with its latest expansion of Tech Square, which includes a 60,000 to 80,000 high performance computing center. The entire mixed-use project is expected to draw international interest. It already landed Stuttgart, Germany-based RIB Software AG, which plans to relocate its North American Headquarters to the development.
