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 Indianapolis

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. Source: DC Hub estimate. Between Chicago (CBRE North America Data Center Trends H1 2026 (250+ kW): (figure on paid plans)) and Columbus; IN industrial power ~9.2 c/kWh (EIA via DC Hub).

The market has not recorded recent deal activity in the tracked dataset.

The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects a split signal on power availability. This pairing means new capacity can be deployed, but sourcing incremental power requires navigation of transmission and interconnection challenges that will increase project lead times and procurement costs. The verdict does not suggest immediate saturation, but neither does it signal an open corridor for rapid new-build scaling.

No recent deals have been tracked for the Indianapolis market. This absence contrasts with activity in adjacent Indiana markets: Digital Realty has eyed gigawatt-scale development in Kokomo, north of Indianapolis, suggesting regional interest in Indiana's broader power and real estate environment. The operator roster shows fragmentation—no single player dominates beyond DataBank's five-site presence—which typically correlates with steady incremental expansion rather than consolidation or rapid market reshuffling.

Regional attention on data center development has prompted civic engagement, including new tools for Indianapolis residents to track development proposals, reflecting heightened community and regulatory scrutiny around growth. Digital Realty's focus on Kokomo underscores that major capacity bets in Indiana are looking beyond Indianapolis proper, likely due to power grid topology and available parcels.
