Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 85 |
| Total listed | 85 |

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 Hillsboro

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.

Flexential operates the largest portfolio with 12 tracked sites, followed by Quality Technology Services (10), Stack Infrastructure (7), EdgeConneX (6), and Digital Realty (5). The market's operator base remains distributed, with no single player commanding majority control of tracked capacity.

New entrants and expansion-stage operators should expect moderate lead times for power service agreements and incremental grid studies, particularly if demand concentrates among a handful of nearby sites.

Recent deal activity shows consolidation rather than greenfield expansion. US Signal acquired a Hillsboro data center for $20M, taking over a facility previously occupied by Oracle. This transaction signals secondary-market liquidity and active operator repositioning, though the deal occurred against a backdrop of municipal scrutiny—the city enacted a 120-day moratorium to re-evaluate its data center stance, and operators submitted two projects immediately before the moratorium took effect. The deal flow pattern suggests existing asset reallocation is outpacing new supply announcements in the region.
