Full DCPI breakdown →DC Hub analyst read on Brussels — the market this facility sits in (full deep-dive →).
Brussels hosts 74 tracked facilities totaling 10 MW of operational capacity, a modest footprint relative to continental hubs. The market is fragmented, with Bics Brussels operating the largest presence at three facilities, followed by Digital Realty and an unnamed operator each running two sites. The constraint score of 68/100 signals severe infrastructure bottlenecks, while the excess-power metric of 14/100 indicates chronically tight supply relative to latent demand—a misalignment that defines the market's structural challenge. For acquisition-focused investors, the DCPI verdict of AVOID is operationally justified. The power deficit 14/100 means new capacity additions face grid connection delays and brownfield build-outs will struggle with grid augmentation lead times. The high constraint score 68/100 compounds this: interconnection permitting, cooling infrastructure, and real estate…
