| --- | --- |
| Operational | 5 |
| Total listed | 5 |

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 Piscataway

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

QTS Realty operates two sites, QTS operates two additional facilities, and Barclays Capital Data Center and Centersquare each operate one site. The operator base remains fragmented, with no single player commanding dominant capacity.

Together, these metrics flag that operators seeking to expand or acquire new capacity here will face extended lead times for power availability and elevated costs for grid reinforcement. The verdict does not assess market demand or facility quality—it isolates a specific bottleneck: the power supply pathway is not favorable for growth-stage projects.

No recent deals are currently tracked in Piscataway. QTS's dual-site presence positions it as the largest single operator, but no recent deals suggest either consolidation or expansion momentum within the local footprint.
