Koch Weighs Sale of Edged Above $15 Billion After Multiple Bids
Koch Real Estate Investments is working with Goldman Sachs and Newmark to evaluate buyer interest in the U.S. data-center developer.
Koch is exploring a sale of U.S. data-center developer Edged after receiving multiple bids that could value the company above $15 billion, as demand for artificial-intelligence infrastructure drives investment in power-intensive facilities.
Koch Real Estate Investments is working with Goldman Sachs and Newmark to evaluate buyer interest. No agreement has been finalized, and the valuation under discussion is not a confirmed purchase price.
Edged was co-founded by Koch and entrepreneur Jakob Carnemark. Its U.S. platform lists more than 388 megawatts of critical capacity across Atlanta, Chicago, Columbus, Dallas, Des Moines, Kansas City and Phoenix. Atlanta is the company’s largest U.S. campus, with 169 MW of capacity.
The potential sale comes as data-center developers expand capacity for high-density artificial-intelligence and high-performance-computing workloads. Edged’s portfolio has an average design power usage effectiveness rating of 1.15 and uses zero water for cooling.
The Atlanta campus uses a closed-loop cooling system and lists water usage effectiveness of 0.00 liters per kilowatt-hour of cooling. Edged said in April 2026 that the campus had a completed 27 MW facility and a 100 MW facility in operation. A third facility with 42 MW of capacity was expected to become operational in early 2027.
“Today marks an important step in revitalizing a long-underutilized site and bringing advanced, sustainable infrastructure to Atlanta,” Mitch Fonseca, chief operating officer of Edged US, said in the April announcement.
The capacity figures reflect different stages of development and reporting periods. Earlier Atlanta announcements cited a 168 MW project and an initial 180 MW design target, while the company’s current U.S. platform lists more than 388 MW across seven locations.
The sale discussions remain preliminary. Multiple bids have been received, but the transaction could still collapse, and no final purchase price or closing date has been established.
