## Colocation lease rates in Clifton

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

The market shows no reported megawatt data from tracked site operators, limiting visibility into aggregate capacity and utilization. Recent deal activity in Clifton remains absent from tracking records.

Together, these metrics signal that sourcing incremental power capacity in Clifton will face material headwinds, whether through grid upgrades, utility negotiation, or alternative supply arrangements. The dual pressure—limited surplus plus institutional friction—creates an unfavorable environment for projects with aggressive power requirements or tight timelines.

Digital Realty's four-site presence establishes it as the dominant operator, though the fragmented ownership (three of eight facilities under alternative operators) suggests a competitive rather than consolidated market structure. This silence should not be read as demand weakness but rather as rational operator behavior in a supply-limited environment.
