## Colocation lease rates in Oak Brook

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

Oak Brook operates as a five-facility market with a fragmented operator base spanning Colocation America Corporation, DataBank, New York Internet, Serverfarm, and US Signal. No single operator controls more than one tracked site. The market has not reported tracked MW capacity, limiting visibility into total deployable power density.

Together, these readings suggest that operators entering Oak Brook should expect elevated lead times and costs associated with new power supply, whether through utility interconnect upgrades or distributed generation solutions.

Deal flow in Oak Brook has stalled; no recent transactions are tracked. The five-operator structure indicates ownership is spread, with no dominant player holding consolidation leverage. DataBank, which operates one Oak Brook site, has pursued acquisition strategy in other markets, most recently acquiring an existing Eagan facility; however, no parallel activity is evident in Oak Brook specifically.

Power scarcity in Oak Brook will likely remain a limiting factor for new colocation or hyperscale deployment until grid infrastructure expands.
