December 25, 2025
A major data center property in Georgia has changed hands in a transaction that underscores the intense demand for strategic digital infrastructure assets. The sale highlights the continued flow of institutional capital into the sector, driven by the expansion of cloud computing and artificial intelligence.
Trammell Crow Company, the Atlanta-based real estate developer, has sold its data center development property in Appling, Georgia, for $475 million, according to property records. The site was previously owned by the Economic Development Authority of Columbia County (EDACC). While the buyer's identity was not formally disclosed in the public filing, industry sources and transaction details suggest the purchaser is the intended end-user for the planned facility, a common structure for build-to-suit data center projects.
The nearly half-billion dollar deal centers on a significant development parcel primed for data center construction. This transaction is a notable example of the large-scale investments required to secure and develop land for hyperscale data centers, which are critical for supporting the computational needs of large technology firms. The involvement of an end-user as the buyer typically signals a long-term commitment to the site and an advanced stage in the development planning process.
For the data center industry, this sale reinforces key market trends: the strategic value of well-located development land and the willingness of major operators to make substantial upfront capital investments to secure future capacity. The Georgia market, with its available power and connectivity, remains a highly competitive arena for such developments. Deals of this magnitude often precede the announcement of new, large-scale data center campuses, contributing to regional economic growth and infrastructure development.
