## Colocation lease rates in Calgary

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

Equinix operates the largest presence with five facilities, followed by two Rogers entities and Arrow Group, each with multiple sites. The market shows established operator concentration but no recent deal activity in the tracked dataset.

The DCPI verdict of AVOID reflects specific power supply dynamics. Together, these scores suggest that obtaining new power supply is neither straightforward nor severely restricted—new entrants face real logistical and commercial friction in accessing grid capacity, though supply itself is not the limiting factor.

The absence of recent tracked deals aligns with the power supply picture. No announced transactions have registered in Calgary's data center ecosystem during the current tracking window. Equinix's five-site presence represents the market's largest single operator footprint, while Rogers Data Centres Inc. and Rogers Communications Cal together maintain five operational or planned locations. This operator structure suggests established players have built their positions incrementally rather than through high-volume acquisition activity. Arrow Group's two tracked sites indicate secondary-tier operator participation, but without recent deal flow, the competitive or consolidation dynamics remain opaque.

Power supply friction may shape near-term entry strategies for new capacity development in Calgary.
