## Colocation lease rates in Knoxville

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

Knoxville's tracked data center footprint comprises seven facilities operated by a fragmented vendor base led by Verizon with two sites, followed by Peace Communications, Sh Data Technologies, and Vital Records Control each holding one facility. No tracked operator in this market has reported megawattage to DC Hub, making aggregate capacity assessment impossible from available data. The operator roster reflects regional and mid-market participation rather than hyperscale or national infrastructure players, with no single entity controlling material market share.

Together these scores suggest that grid access and power sourcing costs would face headwinds for any facility seeking to add significant demand to the Knoxville market. The regional utility environment—shaped by TVA's generation mix and transmission topology—remains the binding variable for new supply-side projects.

Deal flow in Knoxville has been dormant; no recent transactions have been tracked in this market. The operator base shows no recent consolidation, strategic repositioning, or capital-led expansion activity.
