DESCRIPTION

Coldwell Banker Commercial Metro Brokers is pleased to present an exceptional 233.2± acre development opportunity strategically located in Appling County, Georgia, one of the most compelling emerging markets for hyperscale, AI, HPC, and cloud data center development in the Southeastern United States.
Positioned less than 12 miles from Plant Hatch Nuclear Generating Station and within approximately 3 miles of two independent 500kV transmission corridors, this strategically located development site offers institutional investors, hyperscalers, and digital infrastructure developers an opportunity to secure one of Georgia's emerging AI infrastructure locations.

INVESTMENT HIGHLIGHTS
• 233.2± contiguous acres
• Approximately 12 miles from Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Generating Station
• Approximately 3 miles from two separate 500kV transmission corridors
• Approximately 8 miles from Level 3 and Windstream long-haul fiber
• Natural gas pipeline from Atlanta Gas Light Company available on site
• Large-scale development footprint suitable for hyperscale or AI campus development
• Rural Development Authority incentives
• Flexible land development regulations
• Excellent access to regional transportation infrastructure
• Located within one of Georgia's fastest growing digital infrastructure corridors

PROPERTY OVERVIEW
This 233.2-acre development site represents one of the most compelling large-scale data center opportunities currently available in Southeast Georgia.

Its strategic location combines proximity to high-voltage transmission infrastructure, long-haul fiber networks, abundant regional water resources, and one of the nation's largest nuclear generating stations.

Unlike many established hyperscale markets experiencing escalating land costs and constrained power availability, Appling County offers developers a greenfield environment with significant long-term growth potential.

The site's size supports a phased campus approach suitable for AI, hyperscale cloud, HPC, enterprise cloud, or large-scale digital infrastructure development.

STRATEGIC ADVANTAGE
Located approximately 12 miles from the Edwin I. Hatch Nuclear Generating Station.
The facility provides approximately 1,848 MW of carbon-free baseload generation and recently received approval for extended long-term operations, reinforcing the region's long-term energy stability.

HIGH VOLTAGE INFRASTRUCTURE
The property is positioned within approximately three miles of two independent 500kV transmission corridors, creating an attractive starting point for future utility engagement and power delivery studies.

FIBER CONNECTIVITY
Regional long-haul fiber infrastructure operated by Level 3 and Windstream is located approximately eight miles from the property, supporting future carrier diversity and scalable telecommunications connectivity.

PROPOSED LAND VALUATION FRAMEWORK
• Shovel ready Tier-1 sites score 85-100% with a value play of $300k - $450k /MW/Acre
