## Colocation lease rates in Albuquerque

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

The Albuquerque Public Schools Data Center, Bigbyte.cc Albuquerque, CNM Westside Data Center, and 725 constitute the known operator base. The market currently lacks sufficient granular capacity reporting—only one site has submitted megawatt data to the registry—making precise footprint assessment impossible at this time.

This combination means new power procurement here faces real obstacles in interconnection, transmission, or contractual availability despite theoretical supply existing in the region. Operators evaluating new capacity additions should expect extended timelines for power agreements and possible cost pressure from scarcity in available delivery pathways.

No recent transactions have been tracked in the Albuquerque registry, leaving deal flow and operator expansion intentions opaque. The four identified operators—spanning public education infrastructure, commercial colocation, community college facilities, and the standalone 725 entity—suggest a fragmented market structure without dominant hyperscale or third-party platforms driving consolidation or large-scale build-out activity. Without recent deal data, current operator appetite for capacity growth, site acquisition, or power hedging cannot be inferred.
