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.

Recent capital activity includes a $575M investment commitment from 5C, though deal velocity remains modest relative to market size. The operator landscape reflects both hyperscale AI infrastructure expansion and traditional colocation presence.
The DCPI verdict of AVOID signals structural tightness in new power procurement. Together, these metrics suggest that securing incremental megawatts for new or expanded facilities will face headwinds—not from demand weakness, but from supply-side infrastructure lag. Operators seeking to add capacity should expect extended lead times on utility interconnection and potential power-cost premiums reflecting scarcity conditions.
Deal flow remains thin despite Memphis's profile as a major AI compute hub. The $575M 5C commitment stands as the sole recent transaction in the tracked registry, highlighting sparse third-party capital activity relative to the 4,600 MW footprint. xAI's dominant six-facility presence reflects direct corporate deployment rather than merchant-market dynamics; DataBank and CenturyLink Memphis represent more traditional wholesale and carrier-grade supply. This operator mix—heavy on direct-to-user and AI-native deployment, light on pure-play M&A—suggests capital is flowing through direct corporate channels rather than acquisition markets.
