Source: DC Hub (dchub.cloud), facility records as of 2026-11-12. Verified sites that report MW only; blank means no MW reported. The "MW, all listings" tile above is a wider measure (every tracked site that reports MW, any status, unverified directory listings included), so it is larger than Total listed.

## Colocation lease rates in Milan

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

The market has recorded a single tracked deal: Greenfield and Finsbury Infrastructure's investment commitment of $391.2M, announced without completion status confirmed.

Grid connection timelines, transmission capacity bottlenecks, and local permitting requirements create friction that pushes the cost and timeline risk of new power arrangements above acceptable thresholds for operators seeking to establish or expand footprint.

Operator concentration remains moderate, with no single player controlling more than 5% of tracked facilities. Regional precedent is instructive: Moncalieri's largest-data-center proposal was halted by municipal decision, and Digital Realty's Milan development plans remain in planning stages without announced financial terms.
