Why use a scout

Watch: why use a scout (48 seconds)We contact every provider in your market, line the quotes up side by side, and stay with you to signature. The same price as going direct, or better, and it costs you nothing.
Conditions your quote is written against

The latest figures say it is tight everywhere.

What this means if you are buying in 2026

Two things follow. Scale buys less discount than it used to, because large contiguous blocks are the scarce product. And the renewal clause now matters more than the opening rate. Negotiate the escalator and the renewal before the headline number.

Every U.S. market we cover

90 markets, in three tiers.

We take requirements into 90 U.S. markets and submarkets. Forty-eight have a published market guide today, with the evidence available for each market stated plainly. The rest are covered by the same sourcing process, and their guides are being written.

Inventory figures are CBRE Q1 2026. Filing and facility counts are our own collection from public construction records, current to 26 October 2026. A construction filing proves something is being built. It never proves space is available to lease.

Tier 3, tertiary and emerging power markets 40 markets

Where the power is going before the colocation supply follows. Worth scoping now if your requirement lands two or three years out.

Names in blue have a published market guide. The rest do not have a guide yet, which changes what we can show you here, not whether we can source in them.

Colocation services

Everything here is open. One thing is not on the internet.

Pricing, market fundamentals and lease structure are all knowable, and we publish them. Which operator can serve 500 kW at your density on your date is not published anywhere, at any price.

Pricing and space type, market by market.

Eight markets have a dedicated pricing page, and each major space type has its own guide. Start wherever your requirement is most specific.

How we work

The parts most marketplaces leave out.

We list capacity, never the building

No public service lists colocation capacity, so we keep our own. Our list shows what operators have told us they can deliver, by market and date. The building is named on a call.

See available capacity →

Every option carries a date

We report usable kW/MW in a named hall, energized or queued, with the date the operator confirmed it. Availability that is not dated is not availability.

How we verify →

Providers pay, and we say so

The buyer pays nothing. Providers fund the advisory, and we disclose the relationship. We help you find and compare colocation options, and we never sell your information.

A clean first step

Know the budget before you shortlist the building.

Use the calculator for a transparent planning range, then bring in a scout when you want real availability and competing quotes.
