## Colocation lease rates in Irvine

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

Irvine operates seven tracked facilities across three primary operators, with DataBank controlling four sites and Centersquare operating two. The market's infrastructure reflects established consolidation around a small operator base, indicating mature site density rather than greenfield expansion. Current tracked facility count and operator concentration suggest a stabilized competitive landscape with limited new entrant activity.

This combination positions new power acquisition as viable without severe grid access penalties.

Deal flow in Irvine remains inactive in the tracked window, with no recent transactions recorded.

The power environment supports new builds or expansions, but execution depends on site-level interconnection readiness and transmission availability between generator capacity and specific facility locations within Orange County's grid topology.
