## Colocation lease rates in Manila

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

The market lacks transparency on aggregate capacity, with only one facility reporting megawatt figures to tracking systems. This operational atomization reflects Manila's position as a secondary hub within Southeast Asia's data center ecosystem, where infrastructure development continues but without the scale consolidation seen in regional peers.

The DCPI verdict of AVOID signals material friction in new power procurement.

Recent deal flow in Manila itself remains absent from tracked records, though the broader Philippine market has attracted attention. AIB Data Centers completed an acquisition that nearly doubled its contracted power capacity to 120 MW, signaling appetite for scale in the archipelago. Operator presence remains stable but static, with no recent facility entries or exits among the five incumbents.
