# Andover Data Center Market Analysis
Andover's data center footprint remains minimal and constrained. The tracked market comprises only 4 facilities totaling 9 MW of capacity, dominated by TierPoint with two sites and split participation from NaviSite LLC and TierPoint, LLC. This fragmented operator base and sub-10 MW scale underscore Andover's status as a secondary market with negligible strategic relevance for major capital deployment.
The DCPI verdict of AVOID is unambiguous for acquisition-focused buyers and operators. The excess-power rating of 29/100 signals razor-thin headroom for incremental workload placement, while the constraint score of 38/100 reflects structural limitations in grid interconnection, real estate availability, or both. Combined, these metrics indicate that existing facilities operate near practical utilization ceilings, eliminating the capacity runway that drives acquisition ROI. For investors evaluating expansion into New England, Andover presents neither development land nor power availability—the two fundamental levers required to justify entry.
Deal flow in Andover remains dormant. No recent M&A activity has been tracked, and the operator roster shows no consolidation pressure or ownership transitions. TierPoint's two-facility presence suggests some economies of scale at the operator level, but the absence of buyer interest or competitive tension indicates limited perceived upside. The broader New England market shows sustained private equity activity and selective acquisition interest, yet Andover has attracted neither. This silence reflects the market's structural constraints: operators managing the existing 9 MW inventory have no ability to service new demand, and acquirers have no incentive to inherit limited-capacity, constrained assets.
Forward movement into Andover should remain off-roadmap until power and real estate constraints ease materially.
