Capacity by status, as of 2026-11-12

| Status | MW |
| --- | --- |
| Operational | 50 |
| Total listed | 50 |

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 Zurich

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

The market is fragmented across multiple operators, with AtlasEdge and Init7 Winterthur each running two tracked facilities.

The DCPI verdict of AVOID reflects structural headwinds on the power supply side. Together, these readings suggest that operators seeking incremental power allocation face elevated competition for limited available supply. This combination creates a ceiling effect: new capacity additions will encounter genuine bottlenecks in securing grid connection slots and stable power feed agreements rather than abundant optionality.

Digital Realty announced a fourth data center in Zurich (ZUR4) with 15 MW of capacity, representing the only publicly tracked greenfield project in the region. The absence of recent acquisition or sale activity in Zurich contrasts with deal flow in adjacent Central European hubs, suggesting either market maturity or limited availability of operating assets at commercially viable terms. The operator roster shows no single dominant player, with the top five operators controlling only 15 of 91 tracked sites.
