Somerville's data center footprint remains minimal, with only 8 tracked facilities totaling zero operational megawatts—a striking absence of deployed infrastructure in what should be a mature regional hub. CoreSite maintains the strongest presence with 2 facilities, followed by a fragmented operator base including CORESITE RE 70 INNERBELT LLC, FirstLight Fiber, Inc., TOWARDEX Technologies International, Inc., and one unidentified operator. This extreme concentration of supply CoreSite controlling 25% of operator count combined with the complete absence of measured capacity suggests either undercounting of operational assets or a market that has failed to scale beyond early-stage deployments. The lack of any tracked megawattage is incompatible with a functioning regional data center market. The DCPI verdict of AVOID—driven by excess-power scoring of 35/100 and constraint scoring of…
