The record

Sourced facts on Digital Realty Trust

  • The brief's premise of a $3B Realty Income JV is not supported by the fetched record; the actual structure is $200M for an 80% interest in 16-48 MW.
  • A $3.0B ATM agreement established in December 2024 saw $1.1B issued during 2025, and a new $7.5B ATM was established in May 2026; the brief's ~$7B forward equity is best matched to the $7.5B ATM, and a discrete $7B forward-sale tranche was n.a. in fetched filings.
  • Digital Realty says it serves over 315 companies in the Bay Area and will bring Santa Clara capacity online as soon as utility infrastructure allows.
  • Silicon Valley Power's enabling $450M system upgrade, explicitly serving Digital Realty and Stack, is scheduled for completion in 2028.

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.
