Detroit colocation questions
There is no recent published asking-rent benchmark for Detroit, so price comes from the bids. Retail full racks generally run $900 to $2,000 per month (Inflect, 2026-04-01).
The main interconnection buildings are 123NET DC1 (24700 Northwestern Hwy, Southfield, MI 48075), EdgeConneX Detroit (21005 Lahser Rd, Southfield, MI). Buildings with more networks on site mean shorter, cheaper cross-connects to the carriers and clouds you need.
The industrial electricity average is 9.81 cents/kWh (MI industrial). Facilities that bill power separately pass this through with their PUE on top, so ask each bidder for its billed PUE and power rate.
Providers bid blind: they see the technical spec only, never your name, email, phone or company, and never a file you upload. We introduce you only to the provider you pick. We ask at least three facilities to price your power, space and interconnection spec, put every quote on one 36-month landed cost, and reply within one business day.
