## Minneapolis at a glance

Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 38 |
| Total listed | 38 |

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 Minneapolis

Broker lease rates (CBRE/JLL): available on paid plans. Asking base rent per kW of critical IT capacity. Electricity is normally billed separately (metered pass-through), plus cross-connects and one-time fees. Signed deals, term and size change the number.

Cologix and DataBank each operate six facilities, with Cologix, Inc. managing five additional sites.

The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects the tension between these two scores. The combination does not prohibit new capacity but requires deliberate planning around power procurement timelines.

DataBank has been active in the Minneapolis market, exercising an option to acquire a leased facility from Mapletree Industrial Trust and acquiring the building housing MSP2. These transactions reflect engagement with existing stock rather than greenfield development announcements. No recent third-party acquisitions or major M&A events are tracked in the current registry beyond DataBank's facility purchases.

Power procurement strategy in Minneapolis will likely center on maximizing utilization of existing interconnection agreements and evaluating secondary power routes rather than betting on near-term primary utility capacity expansion.
