Phoenix colocation questions
Published wholesale asking rents in Phoenix run $175 to $215 per kW per month for 250 kW and larger requirements (CBRE, North America Data Center Trends H1 2026 (Figures 1 and 2: H1 2026 Wholesale Primary and Secondary Market Fundamentals), H1 2026). Smaller cabinet deals usually price higher per kW, and power is often metered on top. Retail full racks generally run $900 to $2,000 per month (Inflect, 2026-04-01).
The main interconnection buildings are 120 E Van Buren (120 East Van Buren Street, Phoenix, AZ 85004), phoenixNAP flagship data center (3402 E. University Dr., Phoenix, AZ). Buildings with more networks on site mean shorter, cheaper cross-connects to the carriers and clouds you need.
The industrial electricity average is 9.35 cents/kWh (AZ 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.
