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 Elk Grove

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

Elk Grove operates as a seven-facility market dominated by Digital Realty's four-site footprint, with a single tracked operator reporting utilization metrics to DCPI. No recent deal activity has been recorded in the tracked dataset.

Together, these metrics suggest that new projects seeking uncommitted power will encounter significant lead times and potentially elevated costs to secure supply.

Digital Realty's concentration across four of seven tracked facilities establishes the market's dominant operator presence, while Compass Datacenters and the municipally-associated ELK GROVE VILLAGE (CHI10-11-12) DATA CENTER round out the operator base. The absence of recent tracked deals does not reflect market inactivity but rather a period without announced acquisitions, sales, or lease signings meeting DCPI's recording threshold.
