MARKETS

US data center markets for AI.

Capacity and vacancy across the eight primary US data center markets that CBRE tracks, as of mid-2026. Each market page has the numbers, what they mean for a GPU deployment, and the questions tenants ask us.

PRIMARY MARKETS · H1 2026

Less than 150 MW available across all eight.

Vacancy across the primary markets was 1.4% at mid-year, and more than 80% of capacity under construction was already preleased. For most AI deployments, the real options are preleasing new builds or looking beyond the primary markets.

Sources: CBRE, North American data center demand continues to outpace supply (Aug 27, 2026); Data Center Frontier on CBRE H1 2026. Inventory and available capacity are CBRE's colocation figures for each market.
