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 Red Oak

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

Red Oak hosts 805 MW across seven tracked facilities, with Compass operating three sites and DataBank, ALAMO MISSION, and Compass Datacenters each operating one. The market remains fragmented, with no recent transactions recorded in the tracking period. The operator landscape shows Compass maintaining the largest footprint, though the concentration remains modest relative to larger Texas metros.

In practical terms, new capacity can technically connect, but the path to energization will require careful navigation of bottlenecks that are not primarily driven by regional generation shortfalls.

Deal activity in Red Oak remains quiet. DataBank's broader acquisition strategy—evidenced by the Eagan transaction—suggests operator-level consolidation is occurring at a regional scale, though Red Oak-specific activity remains dormant. The presence of DataBank as a local operator positions the company to respond if market conditions shift, but current deal flow offers no signal of immediate expansion or repositioning.
