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 Huntsville

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

SimpleHelix and Meta each operate two sites in the market, while DC BLOX Parent LLC, Meta Platforms, and Peace Communications each maintain one facility. The operator base remains fragmented, with no single player commanding dominant control of local infrastructure.

The DCPI verdict of AVOID reflects a critical power supply mismatch. This combination means prospective operators should expect extended procurement cycles and elevated costs for grid access.

No recent deals have been tracked in Huntsville's data center market. The operator roster remains stable with no announced entries, exits, or portfolio shifts.
