Skanska Wins $84 Million Data Center Contract in Georgia

Skanska AB (SKA-B.ST) said Tuesday it secured an $84 million contract from an existing client to begin construction on a data center in Georgia, USA. The Swedish engineering and construction company disclosed the award on September 22, 2026, without naming the client. The contract covers initial work on the facility, with the data center's total value and completion timeline not disclosed. Georgia has emerged as a major U.S. data center hub, driven by power availability and proximity to Atlanta's fiber infrastructure. Skanska, listed on the Stockholm exchange, has expanded its U.S. building segment through repeated awards from repeat technology and logistics clients. The company did not specify whether the $84 million value will be booked in its current order backlog.
