CBRE Data Center Capex and Sites

CBRE's H1 2025 research reported record primary-market supply of 8,155 MW alongside a record-low 1.6% vacancy, with 74.3% of new capacity preleased. Its full-year 2025 Northern Virginia data showed 1,102 MW of net absorption, 0.5% vacancy, and just 21.5 MW of available supply in a 4,039.6 MW market, which the atlas characterizes as a functional freeze. CBRE also reported global vacancy falling to a record-low 6.6% in Q1 2025.

The figure beside each provider is its count of named sites in the atlas.

Part of the North American Data Center Capital Atlas, refreshed every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Site commitments overlap reported capital expenditure and overlap one another, so this page shows each figure as its source states it and never adds them into a single deployment number. Informational, not investment advice.
The SAVRN reference set

Seven references, one system

Capital, delay, policy, water, grid, permits and scarcity are one system seen from seven sides. Each reference is primary-sourced, refreshed on a schedule, and links into the others, so a project can be followed from the money committed to the docket that stopped it.
