A Billion-Dollar Technology Infrastructure Pipeline Already Active
QTS is developing Project Excalibur on a 615-acre site in Fayetteville. The campus is planned for up to sixteen buildings and represents more than $1 billion in investment. Construction began in 2023 and is expected to reach full buildout by 2032. The first building is already operational as the home of Microsoft’s Fairwater AI data center, part of Microsoft’s East US cloud infrastructure expansion.
Along Georgia Highway 74 near the northern edge of the county, an early-phase development in Tyrone envisions two buildings totaling 490,000 square feet. Projects of this scale generate sustained economic activity across their full development lifecycle. The construction workforce for projects of this magnitude represents thousands of workers living and spending in surrounding communities, supporting restaurants, retailers, residential services businesses, and every commercial category that serves a working population.
For electrical contractors, mechanical firms, civil engineers, specialty subcontractors, and the commercial businesses that support large active construction sites, these projects represent a multi-year demand pipeline in this market.
The Market Backdrop That Brings Buyers to the Table
A business does not exist in isolation from its market. Buyers evaluating an acquisition consider the quality of the customer base, the stability of the workforce, the strength of the surrounding economy, and the long-term trajectory of the community. Fayette County delivers on each of those dimensions.
The county’s high household income, steady population growth, and sector diversity support businesses serving consumers, other businesses, and institutional and government clients alike. The established industrial and manufacturing sector attracts acquirers with sector expertise. The growing sports and entertainment economy creates a separate and active buyer market for businesses serving that community. The expanding healthcare sector, anchored by Piedmont Fayette and its growing network of affiliated providers, adds another layer of sustained commercial demand. That combination makes Fayette County an attractive market for well-informed buyers across industries.

How does the development activity in Fayette County affect my business value?

When is the right time to sell a business in Fayette County?
That question starts with three others. Is the market ready? Is your business ready? Are you ready personally?
