DCPI Score**30.8/100** MW, all listings**0**any status, unverified listings included Verdict**AVOID** ## Colocation lease rates in Asheville DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet. Asheville operates four tracked facilities across three operators with no disclosed aggregate capacity. DartPoints, LLC, ERC Broadband, and Netriplex each operate one site in the market. The operator landscape remains fragmented with no single dominant player, and no facility has reported megawatt figures to DC Hub's tracking system. Together, these metrics signal that operators pursuing greenfield or expansion projects face non-trivial barriers to securing additional supply at standard terms. The AVOID classification is DC Hub's assessment of power availability conditions, not demand or market viability. No recent deals have been tracked in Asheville proper. Deal activity in the broader North Carolina region—including WhiteFiber's acquisitions of development-stage property assets announced in late 2026—reflects ongoing interest in the state, but Asheville itself shows no recorded transactions. The three-operator base suggests a market too small or nascent to have attracted acquisition capital or major consolidation activity to date. Operator footprints remain single-site operations, indicating either deliberate local focus or early-stage market entry. Forward momentum in Asheville will depend on utility-side capacity expansion and interconnection improvements that remain outside operator control. ## More on Asheville - [Asheville DCPI score](https://dchub.cloud/dcpi/asheville) - [Asheville market brief](https://dchub.cloud/markets/asheville/brief) - [North Carolina data center market brief](https://dchub.cloud/states/north-carolina/brief) - [North Carolina data center tax incentives](https://dchub.cloud/states/north-carolina/data-center-incentives) ### Email me when the Asheville DCPI verdict changes Email me when Asheville's DCPI verdict (BUILD / CAUTION / AVOID) changes.
