Link Logistics files state application for five-building data center campus on 231 acres in Union City
A new data center proposal enters Atlanta’s fast-growing development pipeline
A Blackstone-established real estate company, Link Logistics, has been tied to a new data center campus proposal outside Atlanta after a state-level filing was submitted for a large project in Union City, Georgia.
The application was filed under the state’s Developments of Regional Impact (DRI) process by an entity named B9 Union City Owner LLC. The DRI filing identifies a project called “the Crossings,” planned on a site near Westbrook Road and Evans Drive in Union City, in southwest Fulton County.
Project scale, site location, and proposed timeline
The filing outlines a campus of up to five data center buildings on approximately 231 acres. Total planned building area is listed at about 1.56 million square feet. The first phase of the project is described as potentially reaching completion by 2028, indicating a multi-year buildout schedule rather than a single, near-term delivery.
Union City is roughly 17 miles southwest of downtown Atlanta, placing the proposal within a part of the metro area that has already attracted multiple large-scale data center plans. Fulton County has been an established focal point for data center investment in the region, and Union City has emerged as one of the jurisdictions seeing significant interest from developers.
How Link Logistics is connected to the filing
While the filing entity is not named Link Logistics, contact information in the DRI materials is associated with the company. Link Logistics is widely known as a major operator of last-mile logistics and warehouse real estate and was established by Blackstone in 2019.
The filing highlights an expanding pattern in which firms outside traditional data center development circles are pursuing large campuses amid sustained demand for power- and fiber-connected sites in the Atlanta region.
Union City’s data center activity and incentives backdrop
The Crossings proposal follows other significant data center moves in Union City. A separate campus associated with Microsoft has been publicly discussed in connection with tax incentives approved by a county development authority, reflecting how local economic development tools are being used to compete for high-value infrastructure projects.
Union City officials have also published public-facing informational materials aimed at explaining what data centers are and how they fit into local planning, underscoring the level of community attention surrounding these developments.
Proposed project name: the Crossings
Location: near Westbrook Road and Evans Drive, Union City (Fulton County)
Scale: up to five buildings totaling about 1.56 million square feet
Land area: about 231 acres
Timing: first phase could be completed by 2028
The DRI filing places another large campus concept into a regional queue that has grown rapidly, as developers pursue sites with access to power infrastructure and proximity to Atlanta’s network ecosystem.
What comes next
A DRI submission is an early milestone in the broader approval and delivery process. If the Crossings project advances, additional steps would typically include local land use reviews, utility coordination, and phased construction planning, with timelines influenced by permitting, infrastructure readiness, and tenant demand.
For the Atlanta metro, the filing adds to a widening development footprint that is spreading beyond established clusters while still remaining closely tied to Fulton County’s infrastructure and access advantages.
