Denver Colocation Space

Three structural advantages: (1) geographic position — equidistant from West Coast, Midwest and South, ideal for DR/BCP, (2) climate — cool dry air enables free cooling for significant portions of the year, (3) lower operating costs than California or Pacific Northwest. Combined with Denver's growing tech ecosystem (especially around Boulder and DTC), it's emerged as a credible Mountain West alternative to coastal markets.

Two main clusters: (1) Denver Tech Center (DTC) / Englewood / Greenwood Village — H5 Data Centers' 300,000 sq ft campus is the anchor, with Flexential and others alongside, (2) Downtown Denver / RiNo — CoreSite DE1, DE2 are the anchors, with DE3 (180,000 sq ft, 4900 Race Street) launching late 2026 — the first purpose-built colocation in Denver in two decades.

DE3 will be the first purpose-built colocation data center constructed in Denver in two decades. 180,000 sq ft, opening late 2026, linked with high-count dark fibre to existing DE1 and DE2. Once complete, CoreSite's Denver campus will deliver approximately 600,000 sq ft with 60 MW of critical power — anchoring Denver as a credible Tier-2 US market.

For some AI workloads, yes. Denver's lower power costs and cool climate are advantages for AI training where coastal latency isn't critical. CoreSite's DE3 build supports modern density requirements. For massive-scale AI training (50+ MW), Utah (West Jordan campuses) or Phoenix often offer better economics. Denver fits the mid-tier AI inference and enterprise ML workload profile well.

Phoenix has more capacity and lower power costs but hotter summers (more cooling). SLC has the largest hyperscale campuses (Novva, Aligned) but a less mature interconnection ecosystem. Denver wins for downtown carrier-neutral interconnection (CoreSite ecosystem), lowest seismic risk, and central US position. Many enterprise tenants pick Denver for primary or DR; SLC or Phoenix for large hyperscale.
