## Colocation lease rates in Boston

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

No individual operator reports have disclosed megawatt capacity for the market, leaving total deployable power opaque. DataBank operates the largest tracked footprint with three facilities, followed by Enzu with two sites; the remaining operators each maintain single locations.
