Vendor-neutral · 88 U.S. markets

Real capacity isn't listed anywhere, but we know sites of all different types that are coming available in the next 12 months.

No public database says which operator will commit 500 kW at your density on your date. Operators tell the agents they work with before they tell the market. We name those sites on a call rather than on a page, and we put the rest of the market to the same requirement anonymously, so pricing is never anchored to your name or your urgency.

Conditions your quote is written against

Q2 2026, and 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

88 markets, in three tiers.

We take requirements into 88 U.S. markets and submarkets. Thirty-nine 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 3 September 2026. A construction filing proves something is being built. It never proves space is available to lease.

Tier 3, tertiary and emerging power markets 38 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.

Colocation pricing

Explore current rates and what drives them, from install charges to escalators and renewals.

How we work

The parts most marketplaces leave out.

We do not list capacity

There is no listing service for colocation, and the constraint is never floor area. It is how many kilowatts an operator will commit to a named hall on your date. That answer exists only as a response to a requirement.

Why nothing is listed →

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, we disclose the relationship, and we ask on your behalf without naming you so pricing is not anchored to your urgency.

Read the disclosure →
