Market snapshot

Chicago at a glance

Derived from the facility records we hold, not from vendor claims. Where a figure is missing from the record it is left out rather than estimated.

Operator concentration

33% of facilities

Digital Realty, Colocation America Corporation and Centersquare account for 15 of 45 recorded sites, the rest spread across 21 operators.

Carrier neutrality

42% confirmed neutral

Neutral 19Single‑carrier 26Unverified 0

0 sites carry no neutrality statement we could verify. They are shown as unverified, never as neutral.

Recorded floor space

3.27M sq ft

Across 26 of 45 sites. The other 19 publish no floor area, so the real total is higher — we do not model the gap.

How this page is built

Facility records come from operator disclosures and public industry sources, normalised into a single schema and reviewed by hand. Events and roles are matched to this market through the same city list, so a market cannot appear twice under two spellings.

An operator who wants an entry corrected or expanded can claim it below. Corrections are free and always will be.
