## Detroit at a glance

Detroit has 116 MW operational among the verified sites DC Hub lists that report capacity, as of 2026-11-12. By listed capacity the largest operators are CoreWeave (100 MW), 365 Data Centers (8 MW) and US Signal (8 MW).

Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 116 |
| Total listed | 116 |

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 Detroit

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

The operator roster remains fragmented, with no single player commanding outsized share; this distribution reflects the market's stage of maturation rather than consolidation pressure.

Recent deal activity shows limited M&A flow. No completed acquisitions or sales are tracked in the current registry for Detroit, though Google received zoning approval for a large facility near Detroit Metropolitan Airport, signaling operational planning progress rather than announced transaction volume. Managedway and US Signal's dual-site presence suggests retention of assets, while the small operator count indicates limited secondary market churn.

Regulatory activity is accelerating: multiple Metro Detroit communities have recently amended or strengthened data center zoning rules in response to operational concerns. This tightening of local rules may affect future site selection and permitting velocity, though it does not directly constrain existing tracked capacity. DTE's substantial utility capital commitment, combined with Google's zoning win and ongoing local regulatory refinement, positions Detroit as a market in transition—one where power availability will improve, but where the path to that improvement requires coordination across utility, municipal, and operator timelines.
