Colocation Insights
- The colocation vacancy rate edged up slightly to 0.72% in H1 2025.
- High preleasing activity in single-tenant buildings is making it challenging for occupiers to secure large contiguous spaces (15 to 20 MW) within existing and planned colocation facilities.
- Preleasing now extends to capacity slated for delivery in 2027 and beyond, particularly for large, single-building or campus-sized requirements.
Market Trends
- With limited availability in core submarkets, data center development is expanding into emerging areas, including the I-95 Corridor south toward Richmond.
- Rental rates continue to increase across all requirement sizes.
- Dominion's batching system is extending power delivery timelines for new projects.
- Loudoun County's zoning ordinance amendment now requires a special exception for new data center developments, eliminating by-right zoning.
Notable Activity
- AWS acquired 97 acres in Leesburg for data center development.
- BlackChamber acquired 65 acres in Prince William County for data center development.
- EdgeCore began construction on a 114-MW facility in Loudoun County.
