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 Santa Clara

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

No recent deals have been tracked in this market segment, leaving the competitive landscape stable but static.

This combination means new power reaching facilities in Santa Clara faces real bottlenecks—likely in transmission interconnection, grid routing, or local distribution infrastructure—even where generation exists. Operators should expect permitting and interconnection timelines to remain extended and plan for power procurement strategies that account for non-trivial delivery delays.

The absence of recent deal activity contrasts with broader venture and institutional momentum in data center infrastructure nationally. This gap does not reflect demand weakness; rather, it reflects the market's incumbent structure. Digital Realty, CoreSite, and Equinix already command dense site portfolios and long-standing grid relationships, creating high barriers to new entrants and reducing transactional flux. Operator positioning remains defensive, with focus on managing existing capacity rather than aggressive expansion or consolidation plays.
