Cushman & Wakefield (CWK) has released its 2026 Data Center Development Cost Guide, reporting an average 21% increase in per‑megawatt (MW) data center construction costs since the prior edition in Q4 2024.
The guide covers U.S. and Canadian markets and analyzes land acquisition, labor, construction, and capital expenditure trends across primary, secondary, tertiary, and frontier markets.

All‑in greenfield development costs for modern facilities in these regions average $17.6 million per MW, excluding chips and GPUs.
The global data center development pipeline now totals about $2.3 trillion, including $492 billion under construction and $1.8 trillion in planned or precommitted projects.

Frontier markets are projected to see capital expenditure grow 6.9‑fold to $631 billion as developers seek regions with available land, power access, and favorable regulation, while Texas remains among the lowest‑cost environments due to regulatory and labor advantages.
