## Denver at a glance

Denver has 237 MW operational among the verified sites DC Hub lists that report capacity, as of 2026-11-12. By listed capacity the largest operators are Vantage Data Centers (60 MW), Equinix (40 MW) and Stream Data Centers (30 MW).

Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 237 |
| Total listed | 237 |

Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

## Colocation lease rates in Denver

Broker lease rates (CBRE/JLL): available on paid plans. Asking base rent per kW of critical IT capacity. Electricity is normally billed separately (metered pass-through), plus cross-connects and one-time fees. Signed deals, term and size change the number.

The market has seen developer activity tied to Aurora-area expansion, and municipal engagement on data center policy remains active through Denver's advisory group structure and ongoing regulatory discussions.

This gap means that securing new capacity will depend heavily on point-of-delivery infrastructure readiness and interconnection queue position rather than raw generation scarcity. Developers and operators pursuing new or expanded projects must account for lead times in network upgrades and potential congestion in fiber routes serving key industrial corridors.

Flexential's dominant site count suggests established depth in the market, while DataBank and CoreSite each maintain smaller but meaningful footholds. The absence of announced acquisition, investment, or build activity in the tracked period offers no signal about future operator movement or consolidation appetite; deal flow silence does not indicate market weakness or retreat.
