Market context

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

Mexico City's data center market remains undersized and constrained, with only 92 MW across 48 tracked facilities. Kio Networks dominates the landscape, operating at least 9 MW through multiple entities Kio Networks Mex, KIO Networks, and KIO, while Equinix and ATC HOLDING FIBRA MEXICO each maintain a smaller 2 MW footprint. The market's fragmentation—no operator commands more than roughly 10% of total capacity—suggests limited economies of scale and operational maturity compared to larger North American hubs. The DCPI verdict of AVOID is unambiguous. An excess-power score of 14/100 signals severe undersupply relative to demand, indicating that available capacity is already constrained and operators face chronic competition for limited MW. More critically, the constraint score of 64/100—among the highest risk levels—points to structural power delivery bottlenecks that will persist even…
