## Colocation lease rates in Markham

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

The market's supply position reflects a mature, operator-dominated landscape where consolidation among top players has stabilized the active portfolio. Individual facility power capacity reporting remains sparse—only one tracked site has submitted megawatt data—limiting visibility into actual load distribution across the market.

This configuration leaves prospective operators with few levers to unlock additional supply without substantial lead time or infrastructure negotiation.

No recent deals tracked in Markham align with broader momentum visible in adjacent Ontario markets. Ontario's government unveiled a new data center framework aimed at attracting industry investment with "meaningful benefits" for local stakeholders, signaling policy-level appetite for the sector. These signals suggest capital is moving within the province, though Markham's deal pipeline shows no recorded transactions. The absence of tracked deal flow does not indicate market stagnation but reflects either discrete operator-to-operator activity below public notice thresholds or a tactical pause pending clarity on power availability.

Markham's power and supply dynamics will likely remain tightly bound to utility infrastructure upgrades and provincial grid planning cycles through 2026.
