## Portland at a glance

Portland has 155 MW operational among the verified sites DC Hub lists that report capacity, as of 2026-11-12. By listed capacity the largest operators are Stack Infrastructure (60 MW), EdgeConneX (35 MW) and Infomart (35 MW).

Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 155 |
| Total listed | 155 |

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 Portland

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): Hillsboro/Portland (figure on paid plans) [(link)](https://www.cbre.com/insights/books/north-america-data-center-trends-h1-2026)

The market is fragmented across multiple operators, with Stack Infrastructure and Flexential each running four sites, followed by Quality Technology Services and EdgeConneX with three sites each. Power distribution remains uneven across the portfolio, reflecting the region's variable infrastructure maturity.

This combination suggests that while power is not acutely scarce, operators planning expansions should expect deliberate project lead times and grid coordination challenges rather than rapid deployment windows.

Recent deal activity in the Portland region remains muted at the tracked level. News reports indicate Portland is attracting developer interest, including proposals to convert office towers into data center space and heightened municipal attention to transparency in deal structuring. The operator base shows no signs of consolidation, with five distinct players maintaining operational or planned assets across the market.
