## Colocation lease rates in Brisbane

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

No recent deals have been tracked in the market.

This combination does not preclude new projects—a 10-story data center facility is in planning stages outside Brisbane with co-location near battery energy storage and a substation—but it does signal that new power will not be readily available at current grid terms.

The operator landscape is concentrated among regional and national carriers. Pipe Networks holds four facilities, Vocus Group three, and Equinix two, with smaller operators including Aapt and Brennan IT each holding single sites. This does not indicate market weakness or operator retrenchment; it reflects the current data capture window and the regional nature of Brisbane's operator base, which differs markedly from consolidation patterns visible in larger Asia-Pacific hubs currently attracting consortium-scale investment.
