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 Austin

Broker lease rates (CBRE/JLL): available on paid plans. Asking base rent per kW of critical IT capacity. Electricity is normally billed separately (metered pass-through), plus cross-connects and one-time fees. Signed deals, term and size change the number.

Enzu operates the largest footprint with four facilities, followed by CenturyLink Austin and DataBank each with four and three sites respectively. The market has attracted sustained development interest, evidenced by a 1 GW data center project advancing near Austin and a proposed 664-acre data center campus in Taylor, Texas, which municipal authorities are evaluating for annexation and zoning approval.

This combination signals meaningful friction in power procurement pathways.

No recent deals have been tracked in Austin's operator ecosystem. The market shows active development pipelines—a fully-leased Lumen-occupied facility is marketed for sale, and a newly-formed data center supplier is actively searching for Austin real estate—but these activities have not yet generated transaction records. Operator consolidation remains modest; the top three operators control eleven of the tracked facilities, leaving significant portfolio distribution across smaller holders and new entrants.

Power access will remain the primary variable shaping Austin's near-term supply trajectory.
