12-Month Outlook

Columbus operates 112 tracked facilities representing 2,111 MW of capacity across operational, under-construction, and planned sites. Google and Amazon Web Services lead operator presence with 11 and 8 facilities respectively, while Cologix maintains dual entity listings totaling 9 facilities. The market reflects established hyperscaler engagement but with limited recent transactional activity—no new deals have been tracked in the current period.

The verdict reflects grid realities, not demand weakness.

Deal flow remains quiet. The tracked market recorded no recent transactions, and operator concentration skews toward hyperscalers rather than wholesale colocation vendors. Nearby markets show higher velocity: New Albany, 30 miles north, hosts 41 facilities totaling 1,815 MW with more granular operator distribution.
