## Colocation lease rates in Edmonton

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

The market remains lightly consolidated; no single operator controls more than one tracked site. Specific capacity figures are not available from operator disclosures, limiting visibility into actual footprint scale.

Together, these readings suggest that new power connections will face real supply-side friction and likely elevated lead times for grid study and upgrade cycles. Power procurement here is not a given.

Recent deal flow shows two lease transactions: one unattributed deal and an Anthropic lease with undisclosed terms and counterparty. Neither transaction reveals scale, duration, or power specifications. The absence of reported acquisitions or sales suggests the operator base remains relatively stable, with growth occurring within existing facilities rather than through portfolio consolidation.
