DC Hub does not hold a lease-rate figure for this market yet.
The market currently lacks sufficient visibility into aggregate capacity—only one tracked facility publicly reports megawatt figures—which constrains precision in power-supply assessment.
The DCPI verdict of AVOID reflects a structural mismatch between available and required power. This combination leaves limited headroom for operators seeking grid or renewable interconnections; new entrants or expansion-stage operators will face difficulty securing incremental power allocations without substantial infrastructure investment or lengthy interconnection queues. The verdict does not address demand or market quality, only the feasibility of adding new power resources.
Operator concentration among CyrusOne entities suggests established players dominate the market, yet the absence of tracked deal flow indicates minimal portfolio turnover or consolidation activity. Compass Datacenters' single-site presence points to a market not presently attractive for rapid scale-through acquisition. This dormancy in M&A contrasts with WhiteFiber's North Carolina land plays, which remain geographically distant from Durham's existing stock and regulatory environment. Local regulatory headwinds have also emerged: Durham City Council passed a 60-day development moratorium, and Durham County leadership is weighing exemptions for smaller projects, adding permitting friction for new capacity additions.
