Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 125 |
| Total listed | 125 |

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 Richardson

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

Rackspace, Flexential, Flexential Corp., and Stream operate smaller multi-site or single-site footprints in the market. The operator base remains concentrated; no recent deal activity has been recorded in Richardson's tracked data.

Together, these readings mean that new power procurement in Richardson will require explicit attention to grid interconnection timelines, utility capacity coordination, and potential upgrade costs; this is not a market where power procurement can be assumed routine or fast-tracked.

Peer markets in the Dallas–Fort Worth region show sparse recent M&A closure activity, with notable regional development proceeding at larger scale—Flexential announced a 108 MW campus acquisition outside Dallas, and Digital Realty disclosed a planned 600 MW campus deployment in Kansas. Within Richardson proper, no recent deals appear in tracked records, and operator consolidation has not reshaped the market's composition recently.
