## Colocation lease rates in Gainesville

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

The University of Florida operates two facilities, Microsoft maintains two sites, and GAINESVILLE CROSSING DATA CAMPUS and its purchaser entity each control one. No facility in the market has reported megawatt capacity to DC Hub's tracking system, limiting visibility into total deployable infrastructure.

Together, these readings indicate that securing new power allocations will require either negotiation with incumbent offtakers, upstream infrastructure upgrades, or alternative supply arrangements.

Deal activity in Gainesville has stalled. No recent transactions are tracked, and the operator roster shows no consolidation, acquisitions, or shifts in site control. The stability of the current five-operator structure—anchored by hyperscalers AWS and Microsoft alongside the university's dual footprint—has persisted without material disruption.
