Market context

DC Hub analyst read on Ashburn — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).

Ashburn remains the dominant hyperscale hub in Northern Virginia, hosting 8,662 MW across 318 tracked facilities, but power availability and infrastructure constraints are now the binding limiting factors for growth. Digital Realty operates 35 facilities—the largest single operator—followed by Equinix 20, Amazon Web Services 17, and CloudHQ 10. The market's concentration among four players reflects the maturity of the region's competitive landscape, where incumbents control the most strategically positioned assets. The DCPI verdict of AVOID carries critical implications for acquisition-stage investors and new entrants. With excess-power scoring only 45/100 and constraint scoring 54/100, Ashburn has crossed the threshold from growth-friendly to capacity-constrained. Power is no longer a competitive advantage but a scarce commodity; new operators cannot rely on finding available megawatts…
