## Colocation lease rates in Saint Louis

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

The market has recorded no recent transactions. Supply remains dispersed and underdeveloped relative to peer metros, with operator concentration extremely limited—no single entity controls more than one facility in the tracked footprint.

Local regulatory activity underscores ongoing appetite for data center development despite these technical headwinds. That same project has drawn organized opposition and court filings, reflecting community-level friction that may slow permitting and operational sign-on. No recent tracked transactions have been recorded, leaving current operator expansion intentions opaque; the fragmented three-operator structure suggests no dominant player is consolidating or rapidly scaling footprint in the market.

Power procurement will remain the critical bottleneck for new Saint Louis capacity additions in the near term.
