National trends
CBRE ’ s latest North American Data Center Trends Report found that 352.9 MW of new supply went online in the seven primary US data centre markets in the first half of 2022 , a 20 % increase year-over-year .
Despite the influx of additional capacity , data centre vacancy decreased to an average of 3.8 % across the seven primary markets in H1 2022 – down from 10.3 % in H1 2021 – as large cloud users raced to secure space to accommodate anticipated future growth . Significant preleasing of space under construction in prior years also contributed to the large drop in vacancy .
For the first time since 2017 , tight market conditions caused average asking rents
