Denver Colocation
Denver and Colorado Data Centers, CoreSite, Providers and Pricing
Denver sits within about 15 milliseconds of both Los Angeles and Chicago, at rates below the coastal hubs. Send us the requirement before you call a data center, and it gets quoted across the Denver operators that fit, at once.
Price My Denver RequirementDenver colocation means renting space, power and connectivity for your own servers in one of the Denver metro's data centers, from the downtown carrier hotel at 910 15th Street and the building at 1500 Champa Street to the suburban campuses in Englewood, Centennial and Highlands Ranch. Denver holds most of the Colorado data center market, and its appeal is its position: it sits within about 15 milliseconds round trip of both Los Angeles and Chicago, which makes it a natural home for companies serving the whole country and a common disaster recovery site for both coasts. JLL's midyear 2025 report put Denver asking rates at $125 to $145 per kW per month for 1 to 5 MW, below the coastal hubs, but the downtown carrier buildings run full: 1500 Champa is fully leased with a waitlist. The way to get the right Denver data center at the right price is to put the requirement in front of every operator that fits at the same time.

The carrier buildings downtown run full; the suburban campuses have more room. We find which has space at your density on your date.
Escalators, cross-connects, expansion rights and renewal caps are negotiated before you sign, when they are still negotiable.

910 15th Street: Denver's Carrier Hotel
The Denver Gas & Electric Building at 910 15th Street, built in 1910, is Denver's carrier hotel: the building where the region's networks meet. CoreSite's DE1 sits inside it, with access to the region's largest peering exchange, and dozens of carriers and providers run space and connections there, with the building's meet-me room managed by 910Telecom. 910 15th Street colocation suits deployments whose value is in what they connect to: carriers, peering, content delivery and low-latency routes across the country.
Considering 910 15th Street? CoreSite, which runs DE1 in the building, is one of our channel partners. We quote it side by side with the rest of downtown Denver before you commit, at no cost to you. Send the requirement and you'll hear back within 24 hours.
1500 Champa Street
A block away, 1500 Champa Street is downtown's second carrier building, a four-story, 138,116 square foot building owned by RadiusDC, with DataBank's DEN3 and Flexential's downtown data center inside and high-count fiber running to 910 15th Street. RadiusDC reports the building fully leased with a waitlist, which is typical of downtown Denver: the carrier buildings fill first, and larger deployments move to the suburbs.
Looking at 1500 Champa? DataBank and Flexential, both with space in the building, are among our channel partners. If the building is full on your date, we price the nearest alternatives alongside. Send the requirement and you'll hear back within 24 hours.

CoreSite Denver: DE1, DE2 and DE3
CoreSite, headquartered in Denver, runs the city's most network-dense campus. DE1 sits inside 910 15th Street with access to the region's largest peering exchange. DE2, at 639 East 18th Avenue, connects to DE1 over high-capacity fiber for larger deployments. DE3, at 4900 Race Street, is a new purpose-built campus due in late 2026, the first of its kind in Denver in more than 20 years, which makes it one of the few places in the city with meaningful new space coming.
Considering CoreSite Denver or DE3? CoreSite is one of our channel partners. We get your DE1, DE2 or DE3 quote alongside Flexential, DataBank and Equinix, so you negotiate with the market in hand, at no cost to you. Send the requirement and you'll hear back within 24 hours.

Colocation Denver Pricing
JLL's midyear 2025 report put Denver asking rates at $125 to $145 per kW per month for 1 to 5 MW requirements, among the lowest of any major market. Downtown carrier buildings price above that for small footprints, because what you pay for there is connectivity, and with the downtown buildings running full, the suburban campuses usually offer more space and power per dollar.
Where it costs most
910 15th Street and 1500 Champa, where small cabinet deployments and dense cross-connect counts carry a premium for network access.
Where the value is
The south-suburban campuses in Englewood, Centennial and Highlands Ranch, and new capacity at CoreSite DE3.
What the rate leaves out
Cross-connects, remote hands, setup fees and power above the commitment. Compare five-year totals, not rates. See the colocation pricing guide.
AI and GPU Capacity in Denver
Denver's newer and suburban halls support higher densities than the older downtown buildings, and CoreSite's DE3 campus adds purpose-built capacity in late 2026. Denver's cool, dry climate suits free cooling for much of the year. The first questions are which hall can deliver your density, whether liquid cooling reaches the rack, and on what date.
Owning your GPU servers
Air-cooled GPU servers at 35 to 70 kW per rack fit more halls; rack-scale liquid-cooled systems need a facility built for them. See AI and GPU colocation.
Renting GPUs instead
GPU rental is not tied to a location, so the right provider may be anywhere. See GPU rental.
Multi-megawatt capacity
Large requirements usually mean a prelease on a building under construction. See wholesale colocation.
Who Denver Colocation Suits
Disaster recovery for either coast
Denver is far enough from both coasts to escape a regional event, yet within about 15 ms of Los Angeles and Chicago, served by its own utility, Xcel Energy, and in a region with low earthquake and hurricane exposure. See disaster recovery colocation.
National companies
A single central site that reaches both coasts with reasonable latency, for companies that want one deployment serving the whole country.
Rocky Mountain enterprises
Colorado and Mountain West companies moving off owned server rooms or out of the cloud. See cloud repatriation and hybrid cloud.
Networks and content
Carriers, CDNs and SaaS providers that need 910 15th Street's carrier density and peering.
Denver vs Other Markets
| Market | How it compares with Denver |
|---|---|
| Dallas | The larger central market, with more wholesale supply. A common alternative or second site. See Dallas colocation |
| Phoenix | Larger and tighter, about 9 ms away. See Phoenix colocation |
| Chicago | The Midwest hub, with higher rates and very little space. See Chicago colocation |
| Los Angeles | The West Coast hub with space available; Denver is a natural recovery site for LA primaries. See Los Angeles colocation |
Send the primary and recovery requirements together. We price your Denver site alongside the primary, wherever it is, so you see the full cost before you sign either. The operators you choose pay us, and you'll hear back within 24 hours.
