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 Allen

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

The market is fragmented beyond its top three operators—CyrusOne, Centersquare, and TierPoint each holding two to five properties—suggesting no single player dominates local supply dynamics. No recent deal activity has been tracked in Allen, leaving the operational and ownership structure largely static.

The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects a mixed signal on new power availability. This pairing suggests that while some power may technically be available, sourcing, routing, or grid-level limitations present real friction for projects planning significant load additions. Developers evaluating new sites or expansions should anticipate power procurement challenges that go beyond simple capacity availability.

Deal flow in Allen remains dormant with no recent transactions recorded. Allen's quiet deal environment may reflect local operator satisfaction with current portfolios, limited portfolio availability for sale, or simply lower acquisition priority relative to greenfield development or higher-profile markets. The persistence of fragmented ownership among smaller to mid-sized operators suggests no consolidation wave is currently reshaping the market.
