CHARLOTTE — H5 Data Centers, which already operates a facility in Charlotte’s University Research Park, is exploring a potential expansion in the area.
The company submitted a zoning verification request to the City of Charlotte to confirm whether two nearby properties are approved for use as a telecommunications and data‑storage facility.

These letters help developers determine whether they must pursue a full rezoning process, according to the Charlotte Observer.
The request was filed through the law firm Robinson & Bradshaw, which frequently handles rezoning matters in the city.
The inquiry comes as interest in large‑scale data center development continues to grow across the region, highlighted by a separate $1 billion QTS project underway in York County.
