Overview of the Chicago market
The Chicago market consists of three separate submarkets: 1) downtown, 2) the western suburbs, and 3) suburbs near O’Hare airport, such as Lombard, Aurora, Oak Brook, and the well-known Elk Grove Village. The central carrier hotel in downtown Chicago is considered the “place to be” for data center needs in the Midwest, due to the low cost of network services. Challenges in this market include:
- Geographical distance - Commutes are sometimes close to two hours.
- Carrier density and latency - The major driver for downtown Chicago is financial services.
- Constricted market - Because the downtown Chicago data center market is essentially full, there are few opportunities for additional facilities and expansions.
Despite these challenges, demand still remains high and is expected to rise.
