## Colocation lease rates in Baltimore

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

TierPoint, AiNET, and Ainet Cybernap Baltimore each operate multiple or single facilities in the region. No recent deal activity has been recorded in the market, and operator-level capacity data remain sparse—only one tracked site has voluntarily reported megawatt figures.

This combination reflects a market where incremental capacity additions face real friction rather than abundant grid headroom.

Maryland's broader policy environment remains unsettled. Recent legislative activity has surfaced community pushback against proposed data center development bills, and industry participants have publicly cautioned that unfavorable regulatory conditions could redirect investment capital elsewhere. No acquisition or sale activity has been tracked in Baltimore during the current period. The operator base remains fragmented, with no single player holding dominant control, which may limit coordinated procurement leverage or unified power-purchasing arrangements.
