## Colocation lease rates in Laurel

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

Laurel's tracked data center footprint comprises three facilities, with AiNET operating one site in the market. Beyond this single operator presence, the market shows minimal documentation of active facility portfolios or recent transaction activity.

Deal flow in Laurel remains dormant. No recent transactions have been tracked in the market, leaving operator dynamics opaque. The single tracked operator, AiNET, provides insufficient data to characterize competitive positioning, investment appetite, or capacity deployment patterns. Without deal activity, M&A and capacity expansion plans remain unknown.

Power availability friction in Laurel will likely persist unless grid reinforcement occurs at the distribution or transmission level. Prospective operators should verify current interconnection queue status and utility upgrade timelines before committing capital to site selection or lease negotiations.
