JLL Data Center Capex and Sites

JLL's brokerage research tracks North American colocation supply and vacancy across 2025 and 2026. Its Midyear 2025 report put inventory at 15.5 GW with record-low 2.3% vacancy, its Year-End 2025 report tracked 39 GW of active capacity at 1% vacancy with a 35 GW construction pipeline, and its Midyear 2026 update held vacancy at 1% for a third consecutive year with more than 66 GW under construction. JLL frames the market as one where new demand cannot be served for roughly three years, with most tenants contracting for 2028 deliveries.

Where JLL builds

JLL has no named site commitment on record in the atlas as of October 8, 2026. That is normal for a market intelligence position: the capital shows up in the transactions below rather than on a site of its own.

Mapletree Industrial Trust + JLL
Mapletree Industrial Trust hired JLL to market a 22-property US data center portfolio across 15 states, preferring a single sale but open to individual assets. The portfolio has a 6.8-year weighted average lease term and tenants including HP, Equinix, Bank of America and Vanderbilt University. It is a little under half of Mapletree's 54 US data centers

The record

Sourced facts on JLL

  • JLL's Midyear 2025 report put North American colocation inventory at 15.5 GW, vacancy at a record-low 2.3% (down from 3.0%), with 2.2 GW of H1 absorption, 1.6 GW of completions, 7.8 GW under construction at 73% preleased, and a 31.6 GW planned pipeline.
  • At Year-End 2025 JLL tracked 39 GW of active North American capacity, roughly half leased and half hyperscaler-owned, vacancy at 1% for a second consecutive year, and a 35 GW construction pipeline of which 64% sits outside traditional mature markets.
  • At Midyear 2026 JLL reported vacancy held at 1% for a third consecutive year, likely to remain near zero through 2028, with more than 66 GW under construction and available capacity limited to small, fragmented blocks, with most tenants contracting for 2028 deliveries.
  • The atlas describes JLL's Midyear 2026 framing as the closest thing in the brokerage record to explicit frozen pipeline language, a market where new demand cannot be served for roughly three years.
  • The four firms differ on vacancy because they define inventory differently: CBRE's 1.6% (H1 2025) and JLL's 2.3% cover colocation in primary or tracked markets, while Cushman's 4.2% covers a broader 43.4 GW Americas base including secondary markets. All four converge on the same conclusion: pre-commitment rates of 73% to 89% mean the pipeline is functionally sold before it is built, so any delay converts directly into unserved contracted demand.

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.

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.
