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 Phoenix

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. Source: CBRE North America Data Center Trends H1 2026 (250+ kW): Phoenix (figure on paid plans) [(link)](https://www.cbre.com/insights/books/north-america-data-center-trends-h1-2026)

The market spans operational, under-construction, and planned assets, reflecting both legacy infrastructure and ongoing expansion. Recent M&A activity includes RadiusDC's acquisition of PhoenixNAP's Phoenix data center and colocation business, announced March 12, 2026.

This combination reflects a market where available capacity exists but faces meaningful delivery obstacles. Projects seeking grid access should anticipate friction in the interconnection timeline and availability windows, though neither metric reaches critical thresholds that would prevent new supply contracts outright.

The RadiusDC transaction represents active operator repositioning in Phoenix's colocation and wholesale segments. Deal flow, while not prolific, underscores that Phoenix retains operational interest from mid-tier and larger platforms willing to acquire or invest in existing assets and capabilities.
