Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

## Colocation lease rates in Albany

DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.

Vantage leads with four locations, followed by INOC, LLC with three sites. The market has not recorded recent deal activity in the tracked dataset.

The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects tension between these two forces. This is not a market where power flows freely to new entrants; it is one where available supply exists but requires deliberate infrastructure work to reach it.

Operator concentration is evident. Vantage's four-site footprint represents the single largest presence, while INOC, LLC's three locations and smaller holdings by Firstlight Albany and IBM Building round out the tracked base. The absence of recent deals in the dataset does not indicate market stagnation—it reflects the current state of recorded transaction activity. Regional interest in Albany has been documented: the proposed Kenwood Commons facility drew community attention, and the broader Northeast has seen acquisitions and capital moves by large platforms, though these do not appear in Albany's own deal log.

Forward momentum depends on whether operators can route incremental power capacity to their sites within timeframes that match project schedules.
