## Colocation lease rates in San Diego

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

Only one tracked facility reports megawatt capacity to the market, preventing a consolidated view of total installed power or available headroom. The operator landscape reflects mid-tier consolidation: DataBank leads with three sites, while EdgeConneX, Ais, Cogent Communications San Diego, and Fiber Alley Datacenters each operate two or three locations across the region.

The DCPI verdict of CAUTION reflects divergent signals on power sourcing. This split reading means San Diego operators should expect viable but lengthened timelines and potentially elevated coordination costs when negotiating incremental capacity, rather than seamless plug-and-play power availability.

Deal activity in San Diego remains dormant: no recent transactions are tracked in this market. The fragmented five-player leadership structure—with no single operator commanding more than three sites—suggests a market organized around smaller, independent or regionally embedded operators rather than multinational platform consolidators. This operator topology has persisted without recent deal flow to reshape it.
