	Description of Business
	DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. (“DFT”), through its controlling interest in DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” and collectively with DFT and their operating subsidiaries, the “Company”), is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed company that owns, acquires, develops and operates wholesale data centers. DFT is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for federal income tax purposes and is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and as of September 30, 2014, owned 80.9% of the common economic interest in the Operating Partnership, of which 1.0% is held as general partnership units. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our Company” or “the Company” refer to DFT and the Operating Partnership, collectively. As of September 30, 2014, the Company holds a fee simple interest in the following properties:
	•	11 operating data centers – ACC2, ACC3, ACC4, ACC5, ACC6, ACC7 Phase I, VA3, VA4, CH1, NJ1 Phase I and SC1 Phase I and IIA;
	•	two data centers currently under development – SC1 Phase IIB and CH2 Phase I;
	•	data center projects available for future development – ACC7 Phases II-IV, CH2 Phases II-III and NJ1 Phase II; and
	•	land that may be used to develop additional data centers – ACC8 and SC2.

	Significant Accounting Policies
	Basis of Presentation
	This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. and DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. References to “DFT” mean DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” mean DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries.
	We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of DFT and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
	•	enhances investors’ understanding of DFT and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
	•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure in this report applies to both DFT and the Operating Partnership; and
	•	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
	We operate DFT and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of DFT consists of the same employees as the management of the Operating Partnership.
	We believe it is important for investors to understand the few differences between DFT and the Operating Partnership in the context of how DFT and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. DFT is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of OP units of the Operating Partnership. As a result, DFT does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. DFT has not issued any indebtedness, but has guaranteed all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all the real estate assets of the Company. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by DFT, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP units or preferred units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by our business. These sources include the Operating Partnership’s operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.
	As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, DFT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. The presentation of stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of DFT and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes preferred units and general and limited common units that are owned by DFT and the other partners. DFT’s stockholders’ equity includes preferred stock, common stock, additional paid in capital and retained earnings. The common limited partnership interests held by the limited partners (other than DFT) in the Operating Partnership are presented as “redeemable partnership units” in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and as “redeemable noncontrolling interests-operating partnership” in DFT’s consolidated financial statements. The only difference between the assets and liabilities of DFT and the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2014 is a $4.2 million bank account held by DFT that is not part of the Operating Partnership. Net income is the same for DFT and the Operating Partnership.
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains a complete listing of our significant accounting policies.
	We have one reportable segment consisting of investments in data centers located in the United States. All of our properties generate similar types of revenues and expenses related to customer rent and reimbursements and operating expenses. The delivery of our products is consistent across all properties and although services are provided to a range of customers, the types of services provided to them are limited to a few core principles. As such, the properties in our portfolio have similar economic characteristics and the nature of the products and services provided to our customers and the method to distribute such services are consistent throughout the portfolio.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Property
	Depreciation on buildings is generally provided on a straight-line basis over 40 years from the date the buildings were placed in service. Building components are depreciated over the life of the respective improvement ranging from 10 to 40 years from the date the components were placed in service. Personal property is depreciated over three years to seven years. Depreciation expense was $23.7 million and $22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $68.4 million and $66.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Included in these amounts is amortization expense related to tenant origination costs, which was $0.8 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $2.4 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
	We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations or in development when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts. If circumstances indicating impairment of a long-lived asset are present, we would determine the fair value of that asset, and an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of our assets on a property-by-property basis. No impairment losses were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
	Deferred Costs
	Deferred costs, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets include both financing and leasing costs.
	Financing costs, which represent fees and other costs incurred in obtaining debt, are amortized using the effective-interest rate method, or a method that approximates the effective-interest method, over the term of the loan and are included in amortization of deferred financing costs. In May 2014, we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility ("Unsecured Credit Facility"), which, due to the change in composition of lenders comprising the Unsecured Credit Facility's bank group, resulted in the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $0.3 million. In July 2014, we amended our unsecured term loan agreement ("Unsecured Term Loan"), which, due to the change in composition of lenders comprising the Unsecured Term Loan's bank group, resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.4 million, which included a partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.7 million. In March 2013, we paid off the $138.3 million balance of the ACC5 term loan facility (the “ACC5 Term Loan”), which resulted in a write-off of $1.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs. In September 2013, we issued $600 million of Unsecured Notes due 2021 (see Note 4) and incurred financing costs of $13.4 million. Also, in September 2013, we paid off $418.1 million of our Unsecured Notes Due 2017 pursuant to a tender offer, which resulted in a write off of $5.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs.
	Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
		September 30,				December 31,
		2014				2013
	Financing costs	$	24,080			$	22,756
	Accumulated amortization	(5,972		)		(4,013		)
	Financing costs, net	$	18,108			$	18,743
	Leasing costs, which are either external fees and costs incurred in the successful negotiations of leases, internal costs expended in the successful negotiations of leases or the estimated leasing commissions resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of ACC2, VA3, VA4 and ACC4, are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the carrying amount of the costs are written off to amortization expense. We incurred leasing costs of $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.9 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Amortization of deferred leasing costs totaled $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3.0 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
		September 30,				December 31,
		2014				2013
	Leasing costs	$	50,104			$	48,312
	Accumulated amortization	(30,093		)		(27,189		)
	Leasing costs, net	$	20,011			$	21,123
	Inventory
	We maintain fuel inventory for our generators, which is recorded at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fuel inventory was $4.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Rental Income
	We, as a lessor, have retained substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership and account for our leases as operating leases. For lease agreements that provide for scheduled fixed and determinable rent increases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the leases, which commences when control of the space and critical power have been provided to the customer. If the lease contains an early termination clause with a penalty payment, we determine the lease termination date by evaluating whether the penalty reasonably assures that the lease will not be terminated early. Lease inducements, which include free rent or cash payments to customers, are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the non-cancellable lease term. Straight-line rents receivable are included in deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Lease intangible assets and liabilities that have resulted from above-market and below-market leases that were acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis as decreases and increases, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancellable term of the underlying leases. If a lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the unamortized portion of lease intangibles associated with that lease will be written off to rental revenue. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
		September 30,				December 31,
		2014				2013
	Lease contracts above market value	$	23,100			$	23,100
	Accumulated amortization	(14,771		)		(13,946		)
	Lease contracts above market value, net	$	8,329			$	9,154
	Lease contracts below market value	$	39,375			$	39,375
	Accumulated amortization	(31,465		)		(28,845		)
	Lease contracts below market value, net	$	7,910			$	10,530
	Our policy is to record a reserve for losses on accounts receivable equal to the estimated uncollectible accounts. The estimate is based on our historical experience and a review of the current status of our receivables. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had reserves against rents and other receivables of $1.6 million. We also establish an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. These receivables arise from revenue recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease and are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had reserves against deferred rent of $2.1 million.
	The reserves described above were set up for one customer that restructured its lease obligations with us during 2013. Under this restructuring, this customer's outstanding accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable related to the space that was returned to us were converted into a note receivable, the terms of which require the payment of principal and interest through December 31, 2016. Principal payments on the note are calculated on a ten-year amortization schedule with a final principal payment of the remaining note balance due on December 31, 2016. Additionally, under this restructuring, this customer had the right to defer up to two-thirds of base rent due through July 2014 at NJ1 in Piscataway, New Jersey. All deferred base rent was added to the principal amount of the note. The note balance was $6.0 million and $5.7 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which is recorded within rents and other receivables, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Customer leases generally contain provisions under which the customers reimburse us for a portion of operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by the property. Recoveries from tenants are included in revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Most of our leases also provide us with a property management fee based on a percentage of base rent collected and property-level operating expenses, other than charges for power used by customers to run their servers and cool their space. Property management fees are included in base rent in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the applicable period in which they are earned.
	Other Revenue
	Other revenue primarily consists of services provided to customers on a non-recurring basis. This includes projects such as the purchase and installation of circuits, racks, breakers and other customer requested items. Revenue is recognized on a completed contract basis. Costs of providing these services are included in other expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Operating Partnership / Redeemable Partnership Units
	Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, as presented on DFT’s consolidated balance sheets, represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP units”) held by individuals and entities other than DFT. These interests are also presented on the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets, referred to as “redeemable partnership units.” Accordingly, the following discussion related to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership of DFT refers equally to redeemable partnership units of the Operating Partnership.
	Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, which require cash payment, or allow settlement in shares, but with the ability to deliver the shares outside of the control of DFT, are reported outside of the permanent equity section of the consolidated balance sheets of DFT and the Operating Partnership. Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are adjusted for income, losses and distributions allocated to OP units not held by DFT (normal noncontrolling interest accounting amount). Adjustments to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are recorded to reflect increases or decreases in the ownership of the Operating Partnership by holders of OP units, including the redemptions of OP units for cash or in exchange for shares of DFT’s common stock. If such adjustments result in redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership being recorded at less than the redemption value of the OP units, redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are further adjusted to their redemption value (see Note 9). Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are recorded at the greater of the normal noncontrolling interest accounting amount or redemption value. The following is a summary of activity for redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands):
		OP Units
		Number			Amount
	Balance at December 31, 2013	15,671,537			$	387,244

Net income is allocated to controlling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership in accordance with the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership. The following is a summary of net income attributable to controlling interests and transfers to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 (dollars in thousands):

Earnings Per Share of DFT
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period using the two class method. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common shares for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the two class method.
Earnings Per Unit of the Operating Partnership
Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common units for the period by the weighted average number of common units outstanding during the period using the two class method. Diluted earnings per unit is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to common units for the period by the weighted average number of common and dilutive securities outstanding during the period using the two class method.
Stock-based Compensation
We award stock-based compensation to employees and members of our Board of Directors in the form of common stock. For each stock award granted by DFT, the OP issues an equivalent common unit, which may be referred to herein as a common share, common stock, or a common unit. We estimate the fair value of the awards and recognize this value over the requisite vesting period. The fair value of restricted stock-based compensation is based on the market value of DFT’s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of options to purchase common stock is based on the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of performance units is based on a Monte Carlo simulation.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under GAAP. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. We will be required to apply the new standard in the first quarter of 2017 and are assessing whether the new standard will have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts from the prior year have been reclassified for consistency with the current year presentation. For the three and nine months September 30, 2013, we have reclassified the management fee that we collect from customers from "Recoveries from Tenants" to "Base Rent" in our accompanying consolidated statements of operations totaling $3.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively.

	ACC3 Term Loan
	On May 9, 2014, we amended our $115 million term loan facility (the “ACC3 Term Loan”) to, among other things, reduce the rate at which borrowings will bear interest. Per the amendment, the borrower, one of our subsidiaries, may elect to have borrowings under the facility bear interest at (i) LIBOR plus 1.55% (in lieu of the original margin of 1.85%) or (ii) a base rate, which is based on the lender's prime rate, plus 0.55% (in lieu of the original margin of 0.85%). The interest rate is currently at LIBOR plus 1.55%. The ACC3 Term Loan matures on March 27, 2018, and we may prepay the ACC3 Term Loan at any time, in whole or in part, without penalty or premium.
	The ACC3 Term Loan is secured by the ACC3 data center and an assignment of the lease agreement between us and the customer of ACC3. The Operating Partnership has guaranteed the outstanding principal amount of the ACC3 Term Loan, plus interest and certain costs under the loan.
	The ACC3 Term Loan imposes financial maintenance covenants relating to, among other things, the following matters:
	•	consolidated total indebtedness of the Operating Partnership not exceeding 60% of gross asset value of the Operating Partnership;

	•	tangible net worth of the Operating Partnership being not less than $1.3 billion plus 80% of the sum of (i) net equity offering proceeds and (ii) the value of equity interests issued in connection with a contribution of assets to the Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries; and
	•	debt service coverage ratio of the borrower not less than 1.50 to 1.00.
	We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the loan as of September 30, 2014.
	Unsecured Term Loan
	On September 13, 2013, the Operating Partnership entered into a $195.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the "Unsecured Term Loan"). Prior to the amendment executed in July 2014, described below, the Unsecured Term Loan matured on February 15, 2019, with no extension option.
	The Unsecured Term Loan includes an accordion feature permitting an increase in the amount of the loan by up to an additional $55 million. On October 18, 2013, we exercised the accordion and the Unsecured Term Loan was increased to $250 million. As of December 31, 2013 we had drawn $154.0 million under this loan and the remaining $96.0 million was advanced on January 10, 2014.
	Prior to the amendment to the Unsecured Term Loan, we could elect to have borrowings under the loan bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, which is based on the lender's prime rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. Prior to our receiving an investment grade credit rating, the applicable margin added to LIBOR and the base rate was based on the table below.
					Applicable Margin
	Pricing Level		Ratio of Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value		LIBOR Rate Loans			Base Rate Loans
	Level 1		Less than or equal to 35%		1.75	%		0.75	%

	Level 5		Greater than 52.5%		2.4	%		1.4	%
	The terms of the loan also provided that, in the event we received an investment grade credit rating, borrowings under the loan would bear interest based on the table below.

	Level 5		Less than BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s		1.95	%		0.95	%
	In July 2014, we executed an amendment to our Unsecured Term Loan that reduced the interest rate and extended the maturity date to July 21, 2019. Because the composition of lenders comprising our bank group changed in conjunction with executing the amendment, we incurred a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.4 million, which included a partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.7 million.
	Under the terms of the amendment to our Unsecured Term Loan, we may elect to have borrowings under the loan bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, which is based on the lender's prime rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. Prior to our receiving an investment grade credit rating, the applicable margin added to LIBOR and the base rate is based on the table below.
					Applicable Margin

	Level 5		Greater than 52.5%		2.1	%		1.1	%
	The applicable margin is currently set at pricing level 1. The terms of the amendment also provide that, in the event we receive an investment grade credit rating, borrowings under the loan will bear interest based on the table below.

Level 5		Less than BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s		1.65	%		0.65	%
Following the receipt of such investment grade rating, the terms of the loan provide for the adjustment of the applicable margin from time to time according to the rating then in effect.
The Unsecured Term Loan is unconditionally guaranteed jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by DFT and the direct and indirect subsidiaries of DFT that guaranty the obligations of the Unsecured Credit Facility (as defined below).
The Unsecured Term Loan requires that we comply with various covenants that are substantially the same as those applicable under the Unsecured Credit Facility, including with respect to restrictions on liens, incurring indebtedness, making investments, effecting mergers and/or asset sales, and certain restrictions on dividend payments. In addition, the Unsecured Term Loan imposes financial maintenance covenants substantially the same as those under the Unsecured Credit Facility relating to, among other things, the following matters:
•	unsecured debt not exceeding 60% of the value of unencumbered assets;
•	net operating income generated from unencumbered properties divided by the amount of unsecured debt being not less than 12.5%;
•	total indebtedness not exceeding 60% of gross asset value;
•	fixed charge coverage ratio being not less than 1.70 to 1.00; and
•	tangible net worth being not less than $1.3 billion plus 80% of the sum of (i) net equity offering proceeds after March 21, 2012 and (ii) the value of equity interests issued in connection with a contribution of assets to the Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries after March 21, 2012.
The Unsecured Term Loan includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations under the loan to be immediately due and payable.
We were in compliance with all of the covenants under the loan as of September 30, 2014.
Unsecured Notes due 2021
On September 24, 2013, the Operating Partnership completed the sale of $600 million of 5.875% unsecured notes due 2021 (the "Unsecured Notes due 2021"). The Unsecured Notes due 2021 were issued at face value and mature on September 15, 2021. We pay interest on the Unsecured Notes due 2021 semi-annually, in arrears, on March 15th and September 15th of each year.
The Unsecured Notes due 2021 are unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally on a senior unsecured basis by DFT and certain of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries, including the subsidiaries that own the ACC2, ACC4, ACC5, ACC6, VA3, VA4, CH1, NJ1 and SC1 data centers and the SC2 land (collectively, the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), but excluding the subsidiaries that own the ACC3 and ACC7 data center facilities, the CH2 data center under development, the ACC8 land, our taxable REIT subsidiary, DF Technical Services, LLC and our property management subsidiary, DF Property Management LLC.
The Unsecured Notes due 2021 rank (i) equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, (ii) senior in right of payment with all of its existing and future subordinated indebtedness, (iii) effectively subordinate to any of the Operating Partnership's existing and future secured indebtedness and (iv) effectively junior to any liabilities of any subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that do not guarantee the Unsecured Notes due 2021. The guarantees of the Unsecured Notes due 2021 by DFT and the Subsidiary Guarantors rank (i) equally in right of payment with such guarantor's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, (ii) senior in right of payment with all of such guarantor's existing and future subordinated indebtedness and (iii) effectively subordinate to any of such guarantor's existing and future secured indebtedness.
At any time prior to September 15, 2016, the Operating Partnership may redeem the Unsecured Notes due 2021, in whole or in part, at a price equal to the sum of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Unsecured Notes due 2021 to be redeemed, plus (ii) a make-whole premium and accrued and unpaid interest. The Unsecured Notes due 2021 may be redeemed at the Operating Partnership's option, in whole or in part, at any time, on and after September 15, 2016 at the following redemption prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount thereof) if redeemed during the 12-month period commencing September 15 of the years indicated below, in each case together with accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption:
Year	Redemption Price
2016	104.406	%
2017	102.938	%
2018	101.469	%
2019 and thereafter	100	%
If there is a change of control (as defined in the indenture governing the Unsecured Notes due 2021) of the Operating Partnership or DFT, we must offer to purchase the Unsecured Notes due 2021 at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, in certain circumstances we may be required to use the net proceeds of asset sales to purchase a portion of the Unsecured Notes due 2021 at 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Unsecured Notes due 2021 have certain covenants limiting or prohibiting the ability of the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries from, among other things, (i) incurring secured or unsecured indebtedness, (ii) entering into sale and leaseback transactions, (iii) making certain dividend payments, distributions, purchases of DFT's common stock and investments, (iv) entering into transactions with affiliates, (v) entering into agreements limiting the ability to make certain transfers and other payments from subsidiaries, (vi) engaging in sales of assets or (vii) engaging in certain mergers, consolidations or transfers/sales of all or substantially all assets. However, DFT may pay the minimum dividend necessary to meet its REIT income distribution requirements.
The Unsecured Notes due 2021 also require the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiary Guarantors to maintain total unencumbered assets of at least 150% of their unsecured debt on a consolidated basis. The Unsecured Notes due 2021 also have customary events of default, including, but not limited to, nonpayment, breach of covenants, and payment or acceleration defaults in certain other indebtedness of ours or certain of our subsidiaries. Upon an event of default, the holders of the Unsecured Notes due 2021 or the trustee may declare the Unsecured Notes due 2021 due and immediately payable. We were in compliance with all covenants under the Unsecured Notes due 2021 as of September 30, 2014.
Unsecured Credit Facility
On May 13, 2014, we executed the fifth amendment to our unsecured revolving credit facility ("Unsecured Credit Facility"), resulting in an increase in total commitment from $400 million to $560 million and a reduction of the rate at which borrowings bear interest. Prior to the fifth amendment, the maturity date of the Unsecured Credit Facility was March 21, 2016 and included a one-year extension option, subject to the payment of an extension fee equal to 25 basis points on the total commitment in effect on the maturity date and certain other customary conditions. The facility also included an option to increase the total commitment to $600 million, if one or more lenders commit to being a lender for the additional amount and certain other customary conditions are met.
Prior to the fifth amendment, we could elect to have borrowings under the facility bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, which is based on the lender's prime rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. Prior to our receiving an investment grade credit rating, the applicable margin added to LIBOR and the base rate was based on the table below.
				Applicable Margin
Pricing Level		Ratio of Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value		LIBOR Rate Loans			Base Rate Loans
Level 1		Less than or equal to 35%		1.85	%		0.85	%
Level 2		Greater than 35% but less than or equal to 40%		2	%		1	%
Level 3		Greater than 40% but less than or equal to 45%		2.15	%		1.15	%
Level 4		Greater than 45% but less than or equal to 52.5%		2.3	%		1.3	%
Level 5		Greater than 52.5%		2.5	%		1.5	%
The terms of the facility also provided that, in the event we receive an investment grade credit rating, borrowings under the facility would bear interest based on the table below.
				Applicable Margin
Credit Rating Level		Credit Rating		LIBOR Rate Loans			Base Rate Loans
Level 1		Greater than or equal to A- by S&P or A3 by Moody’s		1.05	%		0.05	%
Level 2		Greater than or equal to BBB+ by S&P or Baa1 by Moody’s		1.2	%		0.2	%
Level 3		Greater than or equal to BBB by S&P or Baa2 by Moody’s		1.35	%		0.35	%
Level 4		Greater than or equal to BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s		1.5	%		0.5	%
Level 5		Less than BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s		2.1	%		1.1	%
The fifth amendment provided us with the ability to, at our option, increase the total commitment under the facility to $800 million, if one or more lenders commit to being a lender for the additional amount and certain other customary conditions are met. The amendment also extended the maturity date to May 13, 2018, with a one-year extension option, subject to the payment of an extension fee equal to 15 basis points on the total commitment in effect on such initial maturity date and certain other customary conditions. Because the composition of lenders comprising our bank group changed in conjunction with executing the amendment, we incurred a partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the Unsecured Credit Facility totaling $0.3 million.
Under the terms of the amended facility, we may elect to have borrowings under the facility bear interest at either LIBOR or a base rate, which is based on the lender's prime rate, in each case plus an applicable margin. Prior to our receiving an investment grade credit rating, the applicable margin added to LIBOR and the base rate is based on the table below.
				Applicable Margin
Pricing Level		Ratio of Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value		LIBOR Rate Loans			Base Rate Loans

Level 5		Greater than 52.5%		2.15	%		1.15	%
The applicable margin is currently set at pricing level 1. The terms of the facility provide for the adjustment of the applicable margin from time to time according to the ratio of the Operating Partnership’s total indebtedness to gross asset value in effect from time to time.
The terms of the amended facility also provide that, in the event we receive an investment grade credit rating, borrowings under the facility will bear interest based on the table below.
				Applicable Margin
Credit Rating Level		Credit Rating		LIBOR Rate Loans			Base Rate Loans
Level 1		Greater than or equal to A- by S&P or A3 by Moody’s		0.875	%		0	%

Level 5		Less than BBB- by S&P or Baa3 by Moody’s		1.7	%		0.7	%
Following the receipt of such investment grade rating, the terms of the facility provide for the adjustment of the applicable margin from time to time according to the rating then in effect.
The facility is unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by DFT and all of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries that currently guaranty the obligations under the Unsecured Notes due 2021, listed above.
The amount available for borrowings under the facility is determined according to a calculation comparing the value of certain unencumbered properties designated by the Operating Partnership at such time relative to the amount of the Operating Partnership's unsecured debt. Up to $35 million of the borrowings under the facility may be used for letters of credit.
As of September 30, 2014, a letter of credit totaling less than $0.1 million was outstanding under the facility. There were no borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2014. As of October 30, 2014, $50 million of borrowings were outstanding under this facility.
The facility requires that DFT, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries comply with various covenants, including with respect to restrictions on liens, incurring indebtedness, making investments, effecting mergers and/or asset sales, and certain limits on dividend payments, distributions and purchases of DFT's stock. In addition, the facility imposes financial maintenance covenants relating to, among other things, the following matters:
•	unsecured debt not exceeding 60% of the value of unencumbered assets;
•	net operating income generated from unencumbered properties divided by the amount of unsecured debt being not less than 12.5%;
•	total indebtedness not exceeding 60% of gross asset value;
•	fixed charge coverage ratio being not less than 1.70 to 1.00; and
•	tangible net worth being not less than $1.3 billion plus 80% of the sum of (i) net equity offering proceeds and (ii) the value of equity interests issued in connection with a contribution of assets to the Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries.
The facility includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of the Operating Partnership under the facility to be immediately due and payable. We were in compliance with all covenants under the facility as of September 30, 2014.
Indebtedness Retired During 2013
ACC5 Term Loan
On December 2, 2009, we entered into the $150 million ACC5 Term Loan. In March 2013, we paid off the $138.3 million remaining balance of the ACC5 Term Loan which resulted in a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2013. The ACC5 Term Loan was scheduled to mature on December 2, 2014 and bore interest at LIBOR plus 3.00%.
Unsecured Notes due 2017
On December 16, 2009, the Operating Partnership completed the sale of $550 million of 8.5% unsecured notes due 2017 (the “Unsecured Notes due 2017”). The Unsecured Notes due 2017 were issued at face value. We paid interest on the Unsecured Notes due 2017 semi-annually, in arrears, on December 15 and June 15 of each year. In September 2013, we commenced a tender offer to repurchase the notes at 106.04%. Under the early deadline for this offer, $418.1 million of these notes were tendered and we paid $25.5 million in tender consideration and fees, in addition to accrued interest due through the repayment date. The early repayment of these notes resulted in a write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $5.1 million. The remaining $131.9 million of Unsecured Notes due 2017 were irrevocably called in September 2013 and paid off in October 2013 at a premium of $7.1 million, which resulted in the write-off the remaining unamortized deferred financing costs related to these notes totaling $1.6 million.

	Commitments and Contingencies
	We are involved from time to time in various legal proceedings, lawsuits, examinations by various tax authorities and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. We currently believe that the resolution of such matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.
	Contracts related to the development of the SC1 Phase IIB and CH2 Phase I data centers were in place as of September 30, 2014. These contracts are cost plus in nature whereby the contract sum is the aggregate of the actual work performed and equipment purchased plus a contractor fee. Control estimates, which are adjusted from time to time to reflect any contract changes, are estimates of the total contract cost at completion. As of September 30, 2014, the SC1 Phase IIB control estimate was $50.0 million of which $35.2 million has been incurred. An additional $3.9 million has been committed under this contract as of September 30, 2014. As of September 30, 2014, the CH2 Phase I control estimate was $168.9 million of which $35.9 million has been incurred. An additional $39.7 million has been committed under this contract as of September 30, 2014.
	Concurrent with DFT’s October 2007 initial public offering, we entered into tax protection agreements with some of the contributors of the initial properties including DFT’s Chairman of the Board and President and CEO. Pursuant to the terms of these agreements, if we dispose of any interest in the initial contributed properties that generates more than a certain allowable amount of built-in gain for the contributors, as a group, in any single year through 2017, we will indemnify the contributors for a portion of the tax liabilities incurred with respect to the amount of built-in gain and tax liabilities incurred as a result of the reimbursement payment. The amount of initial built-in gain that can be recognized as of January 1, 2014 without triggering the tax protection provisions is approximately 70% of the initial built in gain of $667 million (unaudited) or $467 million (unaudited). This percentage increases each year by 10%, accumulating to 100% in 2017. If, as of January 1, 2014, the tax protection provisions were triggered, we could be liable for protection on the taxes related to approximately up to $100 million (unaudited) of built-in gain. Additionally, we must provide an opportunity for certain of the contributors of the initial properties to guarantee a secured loan. Any sale by the Company that requires payments to any of DFT’s executive officers or directors pursuant to these agreements requires the approval of at least 75% of the disinterested members of DFT’s Board of Directors.

	Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership / Redeemable partnership units
	Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, as presented in DFT’s consolidated balance sheets, represent the OP units held by individuals and entities other than DFT. These interests are also presented in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets, referred to as “redeemable partnership units.” Accordingly, the following discussion related to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership of DFT refers equally to redeemable partnership units of the Operating Partnership.
	The redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $420.5 million and $387.2 million, respectively, based on the closing share price of DFT’s common stock of $27.04 and $24.71, respectively, on those dates.
	Holders of OP units are entitled to receive distributions in a per unit amount equal to the per share dividends made with respect to each share of DFT’s common stock, if and when DFT’s Board of Directors declares such a dividend. Holders of OP units have the right to tender their units for redemption, in an amount equal to the fair market value of DFT’s common stock. DFT may elect to redeem tendered OP units for cash or for shares of DFT’s common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, OP unitholders redeemed a total of 121,300 OP units in exchange for an equal number of shares of common stock. See Note 2.

	Equity Compensation Plan
	In May 2011, our Board of Directors adopted the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2011 Plan”) following approval from our stockholders. The 2011 Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. The 2011 Plan allows us to provide equity-based compensation to our personnel and directors in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, dividend equivalent rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance-based awards, unrestricted stock, long term incentive units (“LTIP units”) and other awards.
	The 2011 Plan authorizes a maximum aggregate of 6,300,000 share equivalents be reserved for future issuances. In addition, shares that were awarded under our 2007 Equity Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”) that subsequently become available due to forfeitures of such awards are available for issuance under the 2011 Plan.
	The 2011 Plan provides that awards can no longer be made under the 2007 Plan. Furthermore, under the 2011 Plan, shares of common stock that are subject to awards of options or stock appreciation rights will be counted against the 2011 Plan share limit as one share for every one share subject to the award. Any shares of stock that are subject to awards other than options or stock appreciation rights shall be counted against the 2011 Plan share limit as 2.36 shares for every one share subject to the award.
	As of September 30, 2014, 2,151,338 share equivalents were issued under the 2011 Plan, and the maximum aggregate amount of share equivalents remaining available for future issuance was 4,148,662.
	Restricted Stock
	Restricted stock awards vest over specified periods of time as long as the employee remains employed with the Company. The following table sets forth the number of unvested shares of restricted stock and the weighted average fair value of these shares at the date of grant:
		Shares of			Weighted Average
		Restricted Stock			Fair Value at
					Date of Grant
	Unvested balance at December 31, 2013	303,964			$	22.89
	Granted	149,608			$	25.63
	Vested	(119,251	)		$	23.02
	Forfeited	(3,785	)		$	23.98
	Unvested balance at September 30, 2014	330,536			$	24.07
	During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we issued 149,608 shares of restricted stock, which had an aggregate value of $3.8 million on the grant date. This amount will be amortized to expense over the respective vesting periods, which are typically three years. Also during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, 119,251 shares of restricted stock vested at a value of $3.2 million on the respective vesting dates.
	As of September 30, 2014, total unearned compensation on restricted stock was $5.8 million, and the weighted average vesting period was 1.3 years.
	Stock Options
	Stock option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the closing market price of DFT’s common stock at the date of grant and vest over specified periods of time as long as the employee remains employed with the Company. All shares to be issued upon option exercises will be newly issued shares and the options have 10-year contractual terms. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, no options were granted to employees.
	A summary of our stock option activity under the applicable equity incentive plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 is presented in the tables below.

	Performance Units
	Performance unit awards are awarded to certain executive employees and have a three calendar-year performance period with no dividend rights. Performance units will be settled in common shares following the performance period as long as the employee remains employed with us on the vesting date, which is the March 1st date following the last day of the applicable performance period. Performance units are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation and are amortized over the three year vesting period from the grant date to the vesting date. The number of common shares settled could range from 0% to 300%. For performance unit award grants prior to 2014, the vesting amount is dependent on DFT’s total stockholder return compared to the MSCI US REIT index over the three calendar-year performance period.
	For performance unit grants awarded in 2014, one-half of the recipient's performance unit award is dependent on DFT’s total stockholder return compared to the MSCI US REIT index over the three calendar-year performance period. The other half of the performance unit award is dependent on DFT’s total stockholder return compared to an index of five comparable publicly traded data center companies over the three calendar-year performance period. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value, and the resulting fair and maximum values of, the performance units granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
		Assumption
	Number of performance units granted	110,441
	Expected volatility	30		%
	Expected annual dividend	5		%
	Risk-free rate	0.74		%
	Performance unit fair value at date of grant	$	33.5
	Total grant fair value at date of grant	$3.7 million
	Maximum value of grant on vesting date based on closing price of DFT's stock at the date of grant	$8.5 million
As of September 30, 2014, total unearned compensation on outstanding performance units was $3.7 million.

	Fair Value
	Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value
	The authoritative guidance issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board requires disclosure of the fair value of financial instruments. Fair value estimates are subjective in nature and are dependent on a number of important assumptions, including estimates of future cash flows, risks, discount rates, and relevant comparable market information associated with each financial instrument. The use of different market assumptions and estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the reported estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the amounts are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we would realize in a current market exchange.
	The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating the fair value amounts and disclosures for financial instruments as of September 30, 2014:
	•	Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments (i.e., less than 90 days).
	•	Rents and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and prepaid rents: The carrying amount of these assets and liabilities reported in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value because of the short-term nature of these amounts.
	•	Debt: The combined balance of our Unsecured Notes due 2021, Unsecured Term Loan and ACC3 Term Loan was $965.0 million with a fair value of $980.8 million. The Unsecured Notes due 2021 were valued based on Level 2 data which consisted of a quoted price for the Unsecured Notes due 2021 from a third party financial market data provider. Because our ACC3 Term Loan and Unsecured Term Loan were refinanced in 2014, we believe that their carrying values approximate each of their fair values as of September 30, 2014. Each of these loans bear interest at LIBOR plus a spread that is consistent with current market conditions.

2. Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	9 Months Ended
	Sep. 30, 2014
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Basis of Presentation [Text Block]	'
	Basis of Presentation
	This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. and DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. References to “DFT” mean DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc. and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to the “Operating Partnership” or “OP” mean DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries.
	We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of DFT and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
	•	enhances investors’ understanding of DFT and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
	•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure in this report applies to both DFT and the Operating Partnership; and
	•	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
	We operate DFT and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of DFT consists of the same employees as the management of the Operating Partnership.
	We believe it is important for investors to understand the few differences between DFT and the Operating Partnership in the context of how DFT and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. DFT is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of OP units of the Operating Partnership. As a result, DFT does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. DFT has not issued any indebtedness, but has guaranteed all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all the real estate assets of the Company. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by DFT, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP units or preferred units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by our business. These sources include the Operating Partnership’s operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.
	As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, DFT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. The presentation of stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of DFT and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes preferred units and general and limited common units that are owned by DFT and the other partners. DFT’s stockholders’ equity includes preferred stock, common stock, additional paid in capital and retained earnings. The common limited partnership interests held by the limited partners (other than DFT) in the Operating Partnership are presented as “redeemable partnership units” in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements and as “redeemable noncontrolling interests-operating partnership” in DFT’s consolidated financial statements. The only difference between the assets and liabilities of DFT and the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2014 is a $4.2 million bank account held by DFT that is not part of the Operating Partnership. Net income is the same for DFT and the Operating Partnership.
	The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by management in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, these consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained elsewhere in this Form 10-Q and the audited financial statements and accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2013 contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which contains a complete listing of our significant accounting policies.
	We have one reportable segment consisting of investments in data centers located in the United States. All of our properties generate similar types of revenues and expenses related to customer rent and reimbursements and operating expenses. The delivery of our products is consistent across all properties and although services are provided to a range of customers, the types of services provided to them are limited to a few core principles. As such, the properties in our portfolio have similar economic characteristics and the nature of the products and services provided to our customers and the method to distribute such services are consistent throughout the portfolio.
Use of Estimates [Policy Text Block]	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Property [Policy Text Block]	'
	Property
	Depreciation on buildings is generally provided on a straight-line basis over 40 years from the date the buildings were placed in service. Building components are depreciated over the life of the respective improvement ranging from 10 to 40 years from the date the components were placed in service. Personal property is depreciated over three years to seven years. Depreciation expense was $23.7 million and $22.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $68.4 million and $66.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Included in these amounts is amortization expense related to tenant origination costs, which was $0.8 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $2.4 million for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.
	We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations or in development when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired, and the estimated undiscounted cash flows to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts. If circumstances indicating impairment of a long-lived asset are present, we would determine the fair value of that asset, and an impairment loss would be recognized in an amount equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the impaired asset over its fair value. We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of our assets on a property-by-property basis. No impairment losses were recorded during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.
Deferred Costs [Policy Text Block]	'
	Deferred Costs
	Deferred costs, net in our accompanying consolidated balance sheets include both financing and leasing costs.
	Financing costs, which represent fees and other costs incurred in obtaining debt, are amortized using the effective-interest rate method, or a method that approximates the effective-interest method, over the term of the loan and are included in amortization of deferred financing costs. In May 2014, we amended our unsecured revolving credit facility ("Unsecured Credit Facility"), which, due to the change in composition of lenders comprising the Unsecured Credit Facility's bank group, resulted in the partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs totaling $0.3 million. In July 2014, we amended our unsecured term loan agreement ("Unsecured Term Loan"), which, due to the change in composition of lenders comprising the Unsecured Term Loan's bank group, resulted in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $1.4 million, which included a partial write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of $0.7 million. In March 2013, we paid off the $138.3 million balance of the ACC5 term loan facility (the “ACC5 Term Loan”), which resulted in a write-off of $1.7 million of unamortized deferred financing costs. In September 2013, we issued $600 million of Unsecured Notes due 2021 (see Note 4) and incurred financing costs of $13.4 million. Also, in September 2013, we paid off $418.1 million of our Unsecured Notes Due 2017 pursuant to a tender offer, which resulted in a write off of $5.1 million of unamortized deferred financing costs.
	Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
		September 30,				December 31,
		2014				2013
	Financing costs	$	24,080			$	22,756
	Accumulated amortization	(5,972		)		(4,013		)
	Financing costs, net	$	18,108			$	18,743
	Leasing costs, which are either external fees and costs incurred in the successful negotiations of leases, internal costs expended in the successful negotiations of leases or the estimated leasing commissions resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of ACC2, VA3, VA4 and ACC4, are deferred and amortized over the terms of the related leases on a straight-line basis. If an applicable lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the carrying amount of the costs are written off to amortization expense. We incurred leasing costs of $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $1.9 million and $2.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. Amortization of deferred leasing costs totaled $1.0 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3.0 million and $3.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
		September 30,				December 31,
		2014				2013
	Leasing costs	$	50,104			$	48,312
	Accumulated amortization	(30,093		)		(27,189		)
	Leasing costs, net	$	20,011			$	21,123
Inventory [Policy Text Block]	'
	Inventory
	We maintain fuel inventory for our generators, which is recorded at the lower of cost (on a first-in, first-out basis) or market. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the fuel inventory was $4.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
Rental Income [Policy Text Block]	'
	Rental Income
	We, as a lessor, have retained substantially all the risks and benefits of ownership and account for our leases as operating leases. For lease agreements that provide for scheduled fixed and determinable rent increases, rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable term of the leases, which commences when control of the space and critical power have been provided to the customer. If the lease contains an early termination clause with a penalty payment, we determine the lease termination date by evaluating whether the penalty reasonably assures that the lease will not be terminated early. Lease inducements, which include free rent or cash payments to customers, are amortized as a reduction of rental income over the non-cancellable lease term. Straight-line rents receivable are included in deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Lease intangible assets and liabilities that have resulted from above-market and below-market leases that were acquired are amortized on a straight-line basis as decreases and increases, respectively, to rental revenue over the remaining non-cancellable term of the underlying leases. If a lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, the unamortized portion of lease intangibles associated with that lease will be written off to rental revenue. Balances, net of accumulated amortization, at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):
		September 30,				December 31,
		2014				2013
	Lease contracts above market value	$	23,100			$	23,100
	Accumulated amortization	(14,771		)		(13,946		)
	Lease contracts above market value, net	$	8,329			$	9,154
	Lease contracts below market value	$	39,375			$	39,375
	Accumulated amortization	(31,465		)		(28,845		)
	Lease contracts below market value, net	$	7,910			$	10,530
	Our policy is to record a reserve for losses on accounts receivable equal to the estimated uncollectible accounts. The estimate is based on our historical experience and a review of the current status of our receivables. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had reserves against rents and other receivables of $1.6 million. We also establish an appropriate allowance for doubtful accounts for receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents. These receivables arise from revenue recognized in excess of amounts currently due under the lease and are recorded as deferred rent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had reserves against deferred rent of $2.1 million.
	The reserves described above were set up for one customer that restructured its lease obligations with us during 2013. Under this restructuring, this customer's outstanding accounts receivable and deferred rent receivable related to the space that was returned to us were converted into a note receivable, the terms of which require the payment of principal and interest through December 31, 2016. Principal payments on the note are calculated on a ten-year amortization schedule with a final principal payment of the remaining note balance due on December 31, 2016. Additionally, under this restructuring, this customer had the right to defer up to two-thirds of base rent due through July 2014 at NJ1 in Piscataway, New Jersey. All deferred base rent was added to the principal amount of the note. The note balance was $6.0 million and $5.7 million as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively, which is recorded within rents and other receivables, net in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
	Customer leases generally contain provisions under which the customers reimburse us for a portion of operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by the property. Recoveries from tenants are included in revenue in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred. Most of our leases also provide us with a property management fee based on a percentage of base rent collected and property-level operating expenses, other than charges for power used by customers to run their servers and cool their space. Property management fees are included in base rent in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the applicable period in which they are earned.
Other Revenue [Policy Text Block]	'
	Other Revenue
	Other revenue primarily consists of services provided to customers on a non-recurring basis. This includes projects such as the purchase and installation of circuits, racks, breakers and other customer requested items. Revenue is recognized on a completed contract basis. Costs of providing these services are included in other expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests—Operating Partnership / Redeemable Partnership Units [Policy Text Block]	'
	Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Operating Partnership / Redeemable Partnership Units
	Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, as presented on DFT’s consolidated balance sheets, represent the limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP units”) held by individuals and entities other than DFT. These interests are also presented on the Operating Partnership’s consolidated balance sheets, referred to as “redeemable partnership units.” Accordingly, the following discussion related to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership of DFT refers equally to redeemable partnership units of the Operating Partnership.
	Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership, which require cash payment, or allow settlement in shares, but with the ability to deliver the shares outside of the control of DFT, are reported outside of the permanent equity section of the consolidated balance sheets of DFT and the Operating Partnership. Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are adjusted for income, losses and distributions allocated to OP units not held by DFT (normal noncontrolling interest accounting amount). Adjustments to redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are recorded to reflect increases or decreases in the ownership of the Operating Partnership by holders of OP units, including the redemptions of OP units for cash or in exchange for shares of DFT’s common stock. If such adjustments result in redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership being recorded at less than the redemption value of the OP units, redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are further adjusted to their redemption value (see Note 9). Redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership are recorded at the greater of the normal noncontrolling interest accounting amount or redemption value. The following is a summary of activity for redeemable noncontrolling interests – operating partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

Stock-based Compensation [Policy Text Block]	'
	Stock-based Compensation
	We award stock-based compensation to employees and members of our Board of Directors in the form of common stock. For each stock award granted by DFT, the OP issues an equivalent common unit, which may be referred to herein as a common share, common stock, or a common unit. We estimate the fair value of the awards and recognize this value over the requisite vesting period. The fair value of restricted stock-based compensation is based on the market value of DFT’s common stock on the date of the grant. The fair value of options to purchase common stock is based on the Black-Scholes model. The fair value of performance units is based on a Monte Carlo simulation.
