Coldwell Banker Commercial Metro Brokers is pleased to present an exceptional 226. 44-acre development opportunity strategically located in Burke County, Georgia, one of the most compelling emerging markets for hyperscale, AI, HPC, and cloud data center development in the Southeastern United States. The property is positioned within the shadow of the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant, the largest nuclear power facility in the United States, and benefits from proximity to high-voltage transmission infrastructure, regional fiber connectivity, and a pro-growth economic development environment actively pursuing large-scale technology investment. Unlike the increasingly constrained Atlanta metropolitan market, Burke County offers developers the opportunity to establish large-scale digital infrastructure campuses in a jurisdiction that maintains a favorable entitlement environment, lower land acquisition costs, and access to significant state and local incentives. The site's combination of scale, infrastructure proximity, and strategic location creates a rare opportunity for developers, hyperscalers, private equity investors, and infrastructure funds seeking a future-ready site capable of supporting significant power-intensive development. INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS1. Strategic Location Near the Largest Nuclear Power Plant in AmericaThe property is located in Burke County, home to the Vogtle Electric Generating Plant. Vogtle is the largest nuclear generating facility in the United States with approximately:4,800 MW generation capacityFour operational reactorsAP1000 advanced nuclear technologyLong-term baseload power generationFor power-intensive industries such as AI and hyperscale data centers, proximity to reliable baseload generation represents one of the most important site-selection criteria. 2. Access to High-Voltage Transmission InfrastructureThe property is located near significant transmission assets:500kV West McIntosh Transmission line - Within 3 Miles115kV Transmission Line - Within 4 MilesRegional Fiber Network - Adjacent3. Adjacent Fiber InfrastructureRegional Xfinity fiber reportedly runs along portions of the property boundary. Benefits include:Reduced fiber extension costsFaster deployment timelinesDiverse connectivity optionsAccess to regional and long-haul transport routesImproved carrier-neutral potential4. Favorable Regulatory EnvironmentUnlike many jurisdictions implementing restrictive data center ordinances, Burke County currently operates under its traditional land development code. Current observations include:No dedicated data center ordinanceNo known data center moratoriumExisting industrial development pathwaysActive economic development effortsExperience supporting large-scale energy infrastructureThis provides developers with flexibility while local governments continue to evaluate future technology-focused development regulations. PROPOSED LAND VALUATION FRAMEWORK• Shovel ready Tier-1 sites score 85-100% with a value play of $300k - $450k /MW/Acre• Shovel ready Tier-2 sites score 75-85% with a value play of $200k - $350k /MW/Acre• The subject property is well positioned with strong fundamentals and in its current state, scores 50% on Coldwell Banker's data center site selection marker. Also, its strategic location aligns with the city and county land development code and makes it viable for entitlement approvals.
