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 Montgomery

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

Meta Platforms operates the largest deployed presence with multiple sites in the region, alongside infrastructure from Verizon Montgomery, DOTIER LLC, and the Retirement Systems of Alabama. No recent power purchase agreements or capacity expansions have been recorded in the transaction registry.

The combination yields an AVOID designation specifically for power procurement planning. Sites seeking to expand or newly build in Montgomery will encounter extended lead times for utility upgrades and elevated costs for grid capacity requests. This is not a statement about demand; it reflects the practical mechanics of adding MW to the local supply chain.

Operator concentration remains high, with Meta operating six of fourteen tracked sites. Deal flow has stalled entirely—no recent transactions appear in the tracked registry, contrasting with broader sector momentum where major platforms continue to secure capacity in other regions. Verizon Montgomery's single tracked site and RSA's entry indicate some operator diversity, yet the footprint remains heavily weighted toward Meta's internal build program.
