# Mount Prospect Data Center Market Analysis
Mount Prospect remains a fragmented, underdeveloped colocation hub with negligible operational scale. The market comprises tracked facilities spanning 0 MW of deployed capacity, distributed across five operators: Apotech, Colocation America Corporation, DataBank (operating two separate entities), and Netrix LLC. This extreme fragmentation—one operator per facility—indicates a market dominated by small, independent providers with no dominant player and minimal infrastructure consolidation. The absence of any tracked recent M&A further underscores Mount Prospect's isolation from the broader Illinois data center investment wave.
The DCPI verdict of AVOID is decisive for institutional investors and expansion-focused operators. With an excess-power score of 44/100 and a constraint score of 52/100, Mount Prospect signals acute supply-side weakness paired with moderate operational friction. The excess-power rating suggests limited power availability or underutilized infrastructure relative to demand—a critical red flag in a market where hyperscalers and cloud operators increasingly demand guaranteed, scalable power capacity. Investors seeking entry or growth should redirect capital toward markets demonstrating constrained power (higher scores) and tighter supply dynamics, conditions that support pricing discipline and cap-ex returns.
Deal flow in Mount Prospect is nonexistent, with no M&A activity tracked and no strategic consolidation occurring. This stands in stark contrast to neighboring Illinois markets, where recent activity includes a $750 million Chicago facility sale by DigiCo Infrastructure REIT and observed major capital commitments by firms like Aligned Data Centers and TPG. The absence of deal momentum in Mount Prospect reflects operator fragmentation and likely insufficient scale to attract acquisition-stage capital. Each facility operator remains isolated, lacking the portfolio depth or management infrastructure to support enterprise-grade SLAs or regional expansion strategies. This dynamic perpetuates the market's secondary status and compounds difficulty in attracting enterprise tenants or hyperscaler anchor customers.
Forward momentum remains unlikely absent significant consolidation or external capital injection, making Mount Prospect a long-term hold for existing operators and a bypass zone for growth-stage investors.
