## Colocation lease rates in Jersey City

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

The market's largest single operator presence is concentrated but modest—no single player dominates the footprint the way peers like Equinix do in adjacent New Jersey markets.

The DCPI verdict flags procurement difficulty for new power supply. Together, these metrics indicate that new projects entering Jersey City will face extended interconnection timelines and elevated infrastructure investment requirements to unlock additional megawatts from the grid.

No recent deals have been tracked in Jersey City's market. Operator activity remains static across the five primary players, with Inap Jersey, QTS, Colt Technology Services New Jersey, and Enzu each maintaining two facilities. Centersquare operates one tracked site. The absence of recent transaction data reflects a quiet market without visible M&A, new site acquisitions, or capacity transactions among tracked operators in the period under review.

Power availability will continue shaping feasibility for any new build or major expansion in Jersey City through 2027.
