Greetings, and welcome to the CoreSite Realty's Fourth Quarter 2019 Earnings Call. [Operator Instructions] As a reminder, this conference is being recorded. I would now like to turn the conference over to your host, Carole Jorgensen, Vice President of Investor Relations and Corporate Communications. Please go ahead.
Carole Jorgensen -- Vice President Investor Relational and Corporate
Thank you. Good morning, and welcome to CoreSite's Fourth Quarter 2019 Earnings Conference Call. I'm joined today by Paul Szurek, President and CEO; Jeff Finnin, Chief Financial Officer; and Steve Smith, Chief Revenue Officer. Before we begin, I would like to remind everyone that our remarks on today's call may include forward-looking statements as defined by federal securities laws, including statements addressing projections, plans or future expectations.
These statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or facts to differ materially from such statements for a variety of reasons. We assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements and can give no assurance that the expectations will be obtained. Detailed information about these risks is included in our filings with the SEC. Also on the conference call, we'll refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures such as funds from operations. Reconciliations of these non-GAAP financial measures are available in the supplemental information as part of our full earnings release, which can be found on the Investor Relations pages of our website at coresite.com.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Paul.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Good morning, and thank you for joining us. Today, I'm going to cover our 2019 financial highlights and recap our 2019 priorities and key accomplishments. Jeff and Steve will follow with their respective discussions of financial and sales matters. Our 2019 financial results included new and expansion sales of $55 million, a record which nearly doubled the $27.7 million of annualized GAAP rent signed in 2018. Operating revenue of $572.7 million, which grew 5.2% over 2018 and FFO per share of $5.10, an increase of $0.04 year-over-year. A year ago, I shared four priorities for 2019: translating new construction into more abundant sales; acquiring additional new logos; bringing new connectivity products online to increase sales; and delivering a great customer experience and ongoing operational efficiencies. I'll review each of these relative to our 2019 accomplishments.
We executed well on our first priority of translating new construction into higher sales. In 2019, we placed 224,000 square feet of data center capacity into service, including 108,000 square feet for the first 2 phases of SV8, our ground-up development in Santa Clara; and 116,000 square feet of campus expansions in Reston, Los Angeles and Boston. As a result, we restored our available and developable capacity to 25% in our top five markets at the end of 2019 compared to 16% at the end of 2018. And we used the new capacity to achieve a record leasing year, including leasing 100% of the first 2 phases of SV8 and 74% of LA3 Phase one, a year in advance of its expected completion in late Q3 of 2020. Our 2020 development pipeline continues to be strong as we expect to deliver at least 196,000 square feet of new projects, including 2 ground-up developments, CH2 in Chicago and LA3 in Los Angeles; the final phase of SV8 in Santa Clara; and a data center expansion at NY2 in our New York market. Importantly, as we shift in the latter half of 2020 to delivering new computer rooms instead of completely new buildings, our agility and development yields should also increase.
Our second priority of acquiring new logos also generated strong results. For the year, we acquired 145 new logos, our highest in three years; attracted valuable new strategic accounts in multiple markets; and grew annualized GAAP rent from new logos by 50% over 2018. Steve will provide more color on these new logos and their attraction to our hybrid cloud friendly ecosystems. Our third priority was to bring new connectivity products online to increase sales, which we also executed well on in 2019. We increased participation, 44% in the SDN based open cloud exchange format we launched in late 2018. We added intersite service for connectivity between markets, providing route and site diversity to enterprises, and we continue to expand our relationships with and offerings from key cloud providers, with additional on-campus edge cloud products and availability zones. Our fourth priority was to deliver a great customer experience and ongoing operational efficiencies.
We achieved several major accomplishments in 2019 that significantly benefit our customers. We achieved an exceptional eight nines of power and cooling uptime for 2019 across our portfolio of data centers. This level of uptime is well above our six nines target and even higher above the five nines industry standard. High uptime is key to minimizing customer disruption and to increasing loyalty, and is especially important for high-performance hybrid cloud deployments. In addition to our long-term record of customer compliance certifications, we added a new NIST assessment that helps customers meet certain compliance regulations relating to federal government deployments, which helped us win some of our new logos in 2019. We again improved our power utilization effectiveness this year by 4.8% on a same-store basis compared to 2018. Our commitment to ongoing power efficiency improvements helps our customers and us to maintain margins while also making us all more environmentally sustainable. Finally, we deployed a new product in our customer portal which gives customers ongoing visibility into their operating environment to streamline their management of their CoreSite deployment.
Our 2019 achievements reflect a capable and committed team of colleagues and continuing strong demand across our markets. Even Northern Virginia, which was slow for most of 2019, saw good traction in Q4 leasing. We did encounter some unusual headwinds in 2019, which offset some of our accomplishments. Our churn was well above our typical range, with heavier lease expirations and terminations from customers with business and service models affected by competition from the public cloud. Importantly, we believe we have significantly reduced our exposure to these types of customers. Meanwhile, abundant supply in Northern Virginia extended the normal J curve on our new development in that market by making large-scale and hyperscale leases unattractive, therefore, driving us to focus our leasing efforts near term on retail customers to preserve longer term returns. As we move into 2020, our priorities are to build on our 2019 successes. Our primary goals this year include: number one, completing on time our new data center buildings in Chicago and Los Angeles and translating that new capacity into sales that build on our market-leading customer ecosystem in L.A. and create critical mass for our ecosystem in Chicago; number two, improving on our strong 2019 performance and attracting major new enterprises to our hybrid cloud ecosystem; number three, thoughtfully expanding our products to help enterprises with their hybrid and multi-cloud needs; and number four, maintaining high levels of facility performance and customer service while continuing to invest in POE improvements and other sustainability focused opportunities. In closing, we believe our diverse network and cloud dense campuses and the interoperability we enable for customers through our ongoing capacity growth, new connectivity products and superior customer experience position us well to benefit from the secular tailwinds for data center space and the demand for high performance, hybrid cloud solutions.
With that, I will hand the call over to Jeff.
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Thanks, Paul. Today, I will review our fourth quarter and full year financial performance; discuss our balance sheet, including our liquidity and leverage expectations; and review our financial outlook and guidance for 2020. Looking at our financial results for the full year, operating revenues grew 5.2% year-over-year, reflecting increases in new and expansion lease commencements of 46.8%. Growth in interconnection revenue, in line with our expectations, offset by elevated churn we experienced in 2019. General and administrative costs were $43.8 million, reflecting 7.6% of revenue in 2019 compared to 7.4% in 2018. Net income was $2.05 per diluted share, a decrease of 7.7%. FFO per share was $5.10, an increase of $0.04 over 2018 and adjusted EBITDA margin was 53.8%, a decrease of 60 basis points year-over-year. For the quarter, operating revenues grew 5% year-over-year and approximately 1% sequentially.
We commenced new and expansion leases of 86,000 square feet during the quarter, reflecting $16.6 million of annualized GAAP rent. Our sales backlog as of December 31 included $15.6 million of annualized GAAP rent for signed but not yet commenced leases or $19.8 million on a cash basis. We expect about 40% of the GAAP backlog to commence in the first half of 2020, with the remaining 60% in the second half of the year, weighted to the fourth quarter with completion of LA3 Phase 1. Adjusted EBITDA was $79 million for the quarter and increased 6% year-over-year and 1.4% sequentially. Moving to our balance sheet. In November, we amended our credit agreement, extending our near-term maturities.
We also extended the maturity date of our revolving credit facility to November 2023, with a one year extension option and we added an additional $100 million of liquidity. We ended the year with $386 million of total liquidity, providing plenty of liquidity to fund our 2020 estimated data center expansion plans, which includes $179 million of remaining construction cost for properties currently under development. Our debt to annualized adjusted EBITDA was 4.7x at year-end. Inclusive of the current GAAP backlog mentioned earlier, our leverage ratio is 4.5x. As previously stated, we are comfortable with increasing leverage to 5x. Based on our current development pipeline and the related timing of capital deployment and commencements, we may temporarily trend higher than 5x leverage in 2020, with the expectation of moderating leverage based on our backlog and timing of commencements. I would now like to address our 2020 guidance. Let me start with some perspective on our outlook for 2020. Our mission for the last couple of years has been to increase our development pipeline to provide more capacity in our markets. We invested significant amounts of capital and we made substantial progress in 2019 on that objective. As a follow-on, we've had a record leasing year, which was enabled by our new capacity and supports our view that we continue to benefit from secular tailwinds for our strategic edge markets. At the same time, we experienced elevated churn in the last half of the year, which we attribute to customer business models that were not as strong as they were historically. And we estimate that there is minimal churn exposure in our remaining customer base of annualized GAAP rent for these types of customer use cases.
We will be delivering additional capacity in 2020 to provide greater contiguous space, allowing us to further meet market demand. We expect the benefits from this new capacity will be mostly back-end loaded to Q3 and Q4 2020 given construction timing. And we will be focused on achieving pre-leasing of this capacity, including LA3 Phase 1, which was 74% leased at year-end. That brings me to our 2020 guidance, which reflects our view of supply and demand dynamics in our markets as well as the health of the broader economy. I will cover the key highlights of our 2020 guidance but point you to our complete guidance on page 23 of our fourth quarter supplemental information for further details. Operating revenue is estimated to be $600 million to $610 million. Based on the midpoint of guidance, this represents a 5.6% year-over-year revenue growth, which reflects the timing of our development pipeline. Our guidance also reflects the impacts of elevated churn, which we've estimated to be 9% to 11% for the year based on our current expectations related to customer timing. About 250 basis points of this expected churn is from one customer in the Santa Clara market, and given the current market dynamics, we are optimistic and actively working to backfill this capacity. In terms of timing, we anticipate elevated churn in the first and fourth quarters related to customer relocations.
Additionally, we expect cash rent growth on data center renewals will be fairly consistent with 2019 at 0% to 2% growth for the full year. Interconnection revenue is estimated to be $80 million to $86 million, representing 9.6% growth at the midpoint. Adjusted EBITDA is estimated to be $318 million to $324 million, and at the midpoint, represents a 53.1% adjusted EBITDA margin and 4.2% year-over-year growth. FFO is estimated to be $5.10 to $5.20 per diluted share and operating unit. At the midpoint, this reflects growth consistent with 2019 or approximately 1%. And capital expenditures are estimated to decline to $225 million to $275 million, decreasing as expected from the approximate $400 million of capital spent in 2019. This includes $215 million to $250 million for data center expansions, primarily including the completion of the ground-up developments at CH2 and LA3. With our investments in 2018 and 2019 and the initial phases of ground-up developments at VA3, SV8 and the anticipated 2020 completions of CH2 and LA3, it provides us the flexibility to bring on data center expansions quickly and at higher returns in the future as we build out new computer rooms as needed within the existing building. In closing, we remain optimistic related to business drivers and secular tailwinds for our services remain strong.
We're executing on our priorities to bring on capacity and translating it into increased sales opportunities. We also now have the capacity to accommodate additional growth should demand exceed what is assumed in our guidance. Our balance sheet is strong and we continue to stay in tune to the markets, opportunistically pushing out maturities and improving our borrowing position. And we believe we are well positioned for the long term.
With that, I will turn the call over to Steve.
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
Thanks, Jeff, and hello, everyone. I'll start off reviewing our quarterly sales results and then talk further about our sales successes for the year and key drivers. We had a solid quarter of new and expansion sales. We delivered $6.6 million of annualized GAAP rent, primarily reflecting core enterprise leasing, including 31,000 square feet, with an average annualized GAAP rate of $216 per square foot. Included in those results was a sizable multi-market hybrid lease, leveraging unique capabilities of our campus platform to support their dense architecture and complex interconnection requirements. As a secular example of how business continues to evolve and leverage low latency, high-performance technology, we believe this and others like this customer, will provide additional interconnection opportunities as well as stickiness to our platform.
Winning new logos has been a key driver for us throughout 2019 and were an important contribution to these quarterly results. In the fourth quarter, we won 36 new logos, 2/3 of these new logos were enterprise customers, which included some notable strategic accounts. Turning to pricing. Overall pricing in our markets is fairly stable, except for Northern Virginia, where pricing is softer, especially on larger deals, as we've been saying for the last three to four quarters. We were pleased with our fourth quarter sales in Northern Virginia, which outpaced each of the prior three quarters on a volume basis. Renewals are another key aspect of our leasing focus. During the fourth quarter, our customer renewals included annualized GAAP rent of $21.9 million. Our renewals represent a rent that decreased about 1% on a cash basis. Similar to last quarter, we had a few customer renewals negatively impact our cash rental growth for the quarter. This includes five customers that when excluded, our cash mark-to-market was a positive 3.4%. Churn was 2.9% for the quarter, in line with our expectations. Next, I'll share some highlights of our sales wins and the related business drivers. Our 2019 sales set a new record for the company, with $55 million of new and expansion sales in annualized GAAP rent, which was nearly double our leasing of $27.7 million in 2018 and included retail leasing of $23.2 million, a 19% increase over 2018 and scale leasing of $31.8 million, nearly 4x higher than $8.2 million in 2018.
Driving our new and expansion sales this year were several key factors, including ongoing strength in new logo sales, strategic scale leasing, contribution from our channel sales and the overall secular tailwinds, driving customers with hybrid and multi-cloud needs to our data centers, which enrich and broaden our ecosystem, deepen our communities of interest and in turn, create a network effect as our vertical markets became more diverse while also more interconnected. All of which we believe helps to enhance our competitive moat and further differentiates our data centers. Let me touch on these drivers. Our new logo, annualized GAAP rent was the highest in three years, increasing 50% over 2018 and 172% over 2017, reflecting substantial progress on a goal we set two years ago to attract high-quality new customers that value our platform, which can help drive future growth as their IT needs evolve. Strategic scale leasing in 2019 was an important part of our results, which helped us with preleasing at 2 ground-up developments in 2019, including 100% of SV8's first 2 phases as well as 74% of LA3 Phase 1. Our channel sales were also an important driver, which increased to nearly 12% of our annualized GAAP rent in 2019. Importantly, overall absolute production from our channel sales grew 136% over 2018. As a final thought on key drivers, despite higher 2019 churn and net expected for 2020, on balance, more enterprises are buying from us, as demonstrated from our new logo additions.
We also believe our increased sales in 2019 more accurately reflect our market position and midterm growth opportunities as we continue to take advantage of our growth capacity program to compete more effectively in the marketplace. In closing, here's a recap on why we win and what drove our 2019 results: We are located in strong edge markets, with uniquely positioned assets who serve highly connected workload environments. Customers in every segment are looking for help in their ever-changing IT journey as they interconnect their hybrid cloud and multi-cloud needs into a seamless service for their end customers as they deal with increasing data growth, heavy reliance on technology to develop new products and serve new customers and high-performance needs with no room for latency. We continue to focus on winning and growing with these customers as we help them solve their IT challenges to address the changing dynamic needs of their industry and their business. We're pleased with our execution in 2019, and we look forward to further helping customers solve their IT challenges.
With that, operator, we would now like to open the call for questions.
Questions and Answers:
Operator
[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from the line of Colby Synesael with Cowen & Company. Please proceed with your question.
Colby Alexander Synesael -- Cowen and Company -- Analyst
Power as a percentage of rental revenue came down in the second half of 2019 and your revenue guidance for 2020, I think, was below street expectations. I'm curious if any of this has to do with the customer who's moving out of SV7. I think they may have actually already moved out, and that space might be vacant. And that's what I'm thinking is the explanation, but I'm hoping you could fill that in. And give us some color on what the expectation is for power in 2020. That might be, I'm thinking the delta between what The Street was expecting and what you guided to. And then secondly, as it relates to capex, I'm just curious what you've assumed for additional land purchases.
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Colby, it's Jeff. Let me see if I can take your first question. You are correct that some of that decrease in power revenue is directly attributable to the customer at SV7. And so as you think about 2020, I'd probably put it in simplistic terms from the standpoint, given the guidance we've given, you can see we've guided to an increase of revenue of about $32 million at the midpoint. We've also guided to interconnection revenue growth of about $8 million at the midpoint. The remaining $24 million, I would allocate that pro rata to what our full year 2019 is relative -- the relative portions between rent and power, which is about 2/3 rent, 1/3 power as you think about modeling those components for 2020. In terms of capex, we have, obviously, the projects that are under development at this point in time. And we'll obviously, as we work through 2020, we'll have the need, hopefully, and the opportunity to add additional development projects that we'll disclose at that point in time. At this point in time, we don't have any incremental land versus in our guidance. Not to say we're not looking, not to say we won't execute on it but at this point, none of that is embedded into the guidance for capex for 2020. Our next question comes from the line of Jordan Sadler with KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question.
Jordan Sadler -- KeyBanc Capital Markets -- Analyst
So I just wanted to come back to the churn. It seems like you had the guidance for the full year laid out last year and we ended up at 11.1%, just above the high end of the range. I'm kind of curious, I feel like you ended up a little bit higher for some reason. Was there something that was missing or something that happened during the quarter that you didn't anticipate 90 days ago that caused sort of an increase in that churn that you could sort of speak to? And I guess, sort of a similar question for 2020. I Feel like you discussed last quarter on the call the normalized level of 7.5% to 8% plus a little extra from this customer move out. But it even seems like this customer move out exposure in the fourth quarter of '20, it feels like the full exposure to the customer as opposed to half of the exposure to the customer. I can clarify that if that doesn't make sense.
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Yes, Jordan, let me see if I can address that and see if we can clarify some things, but let me just start with the 2020 churn and then I'll come back and talk about the fourth quarter. As it relates to 2020 churn, what we tried to communicate last quarter is that we expect our churn in 2020 to recede back to its normal levels of call it, 7.5% to 8%, with the exception of the fact that we have to add another, as we just said on the call, 250 basis points related to that specific customer. So all in, you're going to have churn somewhere around 10%, which is what our guidance is. We tried to communicate that last quarter and I think it got lost a little bit in the translation. And so I just want to make sure we're clear on that. So we expect midpoint of 10%, inclusive of 250 basis points from that one customer.
Jordan Sadler -- KeyBanc Capital Markets -- Analyst
Is it 250 in 4Q of '20 and 250 in 4Q of '21, Jeff?
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
It's 250 in 4Q of 2020 and it will be less in the fourth quarter of 2021. Just to give you an idea, it's five megawatts this year, four megawatts next year, just to give you an idea how that deployment will mature. And then as it relates to the fourth quarter, Jordan, obviously, the full year churn came in slightly ahead of and higher than what our guidance was. And I would point to two things. As it relates to our churn in 2019 and in 2020, we had some of the -- some of that churn that we expected to ultimately take place in the fourth quarter of this year. So a little bit earlier than we anticipated. And then as I said in the prepared remarks, we expect to also have some -- our churn in the first quarter of 2020 to be elevated. The full year, we still expect it to be in line with what we anticipated. But the timing associated with it got moved into the first quarter, where some customers are moving out sooner than what we expected. As a result of that, we expect first quarter churn to be somewhere around 325 to 375 basis points. And those two elements of some of that moving sooner than we anticipated are obviously weighing in on some of the guidance we've given for 2020.
Jordan Sadler -- KeyBanc Capital Markets -- Analyst
Okay. And then I have a bigger picture question for you, Paul. The combination, I guess, of the elevated churn, lower releasing spreads, lower capex, particularly relative to the size of the company today and higher leverage, they all seem to point to a slower growth profile for your domestic data center portfolio. So even though demand does seem like it's going to persist longer term for data center space, is it fair to say that we've passed the point of maximum valuation and/or maximum growth for data centers in the U.S.?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
No, Jordan. It's a good question. It may seem odd, even contradictory that we have, for example, record sales and record churn in the same year. But it makes sense if you view them as two sides of the same technology coin. Our record sales reflect new data business models and use cases that seem to have significant tailwinds behind them as reflected in our growing new logo sales and adds in major metro cloud sales and continuing growth from customers acquired in recent years. The churn primarily reflects business models that are waning and, as Jeff mentioned, have become a significantly smaller part of our portfolio, which means that the amount of that churn should wane, especially to the extent it has been accelerated into 2019 and 2020. And the lower capex just relates back to what I said in my prepared remarks, that we have -- we are shifting from the need to build out entirely new buildings which -- four over the last year plus this year, into the phase where we're building out new computer rooms in existing buildings, which we can do more quickly and have higher returns. So I mean, look, we're like every company that has grown, you get bigger, your denominator gets bigger. And the industry has matured some in terms of new capital coming into the industry. But we still feel really good about our business model and our markets. We actually have more markets that we can grow in than we practically had or had as a practical matter a few years ago because we used to be highly dependent on three markets. We didn't have scale in Chicago, and New Jersey was more abundant for a few years. But now we're building scale in Chicago and New Jersey has really picked up as a nice enterprise market. So in terms of being able to deliver, I think, above standard growth to compare to the rest of the REIT industry and serving an industry with significant tailwinds, I still feel very optimistic but we are impacted last year and this coming year by this accelerated churn from these older business models.
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
And Jordan, I just don't have a -- the only thing I would add there, Jordan, is just to point you back to some of the prepared remarks there as well and just the overall demand characteristics that we've seen over the -- especially the last year, and new customers coming to the platform. We had more customers that are contributing more revenue, significantly more revenue and the average size of those customers is also significantly up. So I think as you look at the overall demand currents of the business and those customers adopting CoreSite, it's actually stronger than ever.

Our next question comes from the line of Robert Gutman with Guggenheim Securities. Please proceed with your question.
Robert Ari Gutman -- Guggenheim Securities -- Analyst
So it looks like the 30,000 square feet leased in the quarter, about half that was mostly the Virginia, Northern Virginia D.C. market and some Denver. Where was -- it's hard to discern where the other half of that was markets wise. And second question on renewal pricing, the weak renewal pricing or the recurring sort of low renewal pricing in 2020. Is it -- can you characterize it a little more? Is it a broad number of customers? Concentrated customer? And early, middle, end of the year?
Ahmed Sami Badri -- Credit Suisse AG -- Analyst
Yes, just to give you some perspective on the strongest markets, which kind of implies where some of that larger leasing came from, were L.A., Northern Virginia and New York. So hopefully, that gives you a little bit more color as to where those leases came from. And the second part of your question there?
Robert Ari Gutman -- Guggenheim Securities -- Analyst
Just some color on the sort of muted renewal pricing this year. Is it a few customers? Or is it sort of widespread? Is it -- can be an even pace through the year? Is it concentrated with one customer in the second half? I mean, just trying to figure out why, again, the renewal pricing is kind of weak.
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
Yes. And it's pretty addictive, as I pointed out in the prepared remarks around Q4 leasing, where we had a few customers that dragged down our mark-to-market to a negative 1%. And then when you exclude those five customers, we actually had a positive 3.4% cash basis. So as we look at some of those aging customers, those specific customers signed with us back typically in the 2015 or prior era and as they've been -- had annual escalations in their rent and some of the pricing in those markets has been stable or in some cases, decreased, we've obviously had to make some adjustments that have brought down the overall expectation there. So there's a little bit of that sprinkled throughout the entire guidance, but that's also baked into the overall assumptions and guidance for 2020.
Robert Ari Gutman -- Guggenheim Securities -- Analyst
Great, thank you. You bet.

Our next question comes from the line of Jonathan Atkin with RBC Capital Markets. Please proceed with your question.
Jonathan Atkin -- RBC Capital Markets -- Analyst
I got a couple. I was interested in -- on the demand side, any markets you would call out has seen elevated levels of current demands compared to last year. And then I wanted to get kind of an update on the SV7 backfill situation, if you could provide us a little bit more color than what you provided in the script, if that's possible. And then finally, the customer relocations in 1Q and 4Q, which markets is it occurring in? And are these customers that are moving to the cloud or just downsizing their IT going through consolidation? Or what are the factors that are leading to this occurrence?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Okay. I mean, the markets where we've seen pickup in demand, as we mentioned in my -- in the comment I made earlier, New York has really improved. Santa Clara continues to be strong. We obviously had strong demand in L.A. last year, and frankly, as Steve mentioned in his sales comments, Virginia picked up in the fourth quarter. So those are the primary markets that are plus on the demand side. And so the...
Jonathan Atkin -- RBC Capital Markets -- Analyst
So I asked the current demand. So it sounds like -- so what you called out was kind of backward looking. Is that then continuing prospectively into this year in the market in terms of the elevated demand?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Yes. Based on our sales funnel, they still seem to be good markets. The relocations, primarily, that's the SV7 lease that you talked about and as we mentioned in the past, that's just a customer that realized that their applications were not performance sensitive, didn't need to be in Santa Clara, moved it to a lower cost market. And to a certain extent, the other relocation is the same kind of thing, and it's out at [Melpedes], and they are making the same kind of cost rationalization decision. No. I mean, all I can really say about the SV7 situation, and Jon, you know as well as anybody, how the scale and hyperscale leasing in Santa Clara, tends to come in lumps and waves, although they tend to come quarter-by-quarter with very significant amplitude between quarters as opposed to year by year. But our sales team is out there working with our customers and working the market for backfills for that space. The customer itself, as you know, has hired a brokerage firm, which works for the customer and we don't have any control over what they do. Time will tell if their efforts are a distraction or if they provide value to the customer and indirectly to us. But so there's good coverage out in the market of all the opportunities that are potentially out there to backfill that space before the end of the year.
Jonathan Atkin -- RBC Capital Markets -- Analyst
Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of Nick Del Deo with MoffetNathanson. Please proceed with your question.
Nicholas Ralph Del Deo -- MoffettNathanson LLC -- Analyst
First, when you look across your entire book of business, not just particularly in 2020, how do you feel about mark-to-market risk, particularly in Northern Virginia?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
So you could see how we feel about it that's baked into the guidance Jeff provided. I think it's harder to look beyond that because it really depends upon how supply and demand evolves in each of our markets. But I do believe it's a little bit like the churn thing that some of that will go away as we go past certain vintages of past leasing.
Nicholas Ralph Del Deo -- MoffettNathanson LLC -- Analyst
All right. Got it. And then, Steve, you noted pretty significant growth in deals that came through the channel beyond. Do you expect additional growth in channel deals in 2020 and beyond? And how do you think about the cost of acquiring revenue by the channel versus in-house and minimizing potential channel conflict?
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
Yes, I'll start with the last part of that question and get into the first part. It definitely is a balance, right? So I do see value in extending the channel, and we have some efforts internally to continue that growth and actually look at some other channels to broaden our reach and deepen our reach into key customers. As we look at the market, I think there's a great opportunity out there for the mid- to large enterprise that is really wrestling with how they evolve their IT challenges. And much of that involves partners to help them with that evolution. So working with those partners to make sure that we're part of that conversation is definitely part of the strategy. So -- but it is balanced because in some cases, that does come with cost associated with it. I would say that in some cases as well, it actually brings more value and stronger pricing. So it just kind of depends on the channel and how we manage that mix.
Nicholas Ralph Del Deo -- MoffettNathanson LLC -- Analyst
Got it. It seems like a number of your peers are leaning harder into the channel as well. Do you think that's just kind of a natural function of, call it, new enterprises being potential customers going forward? Or is there a risk that people become too heavily reliant on channel?
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
Well, I do think it is a balance, right? And it is important to manage that risk -- or that mix rather. But I do think that it is such a complex environment out there for enterprises that they need help in managing that evolution of their IT strategy. And so as they look to partners, co-location is part of that and are cloud on-ramps and how they bring that into a seamless architecture for their customers and their employees. So they need help doing that and partners of various flavors are a key part of that, whether it's system integrators, resellers and otherwise. So I think that's a good opportunity to help our enterprises come to our platform as well as a good opportunity for us to leverage kind of off payroll resources to help us find demand.

Our next question comes from the line of Michael Rollins with Citigroup. Please proceed with your question.
Michael Rollins -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
I guess, two things, if I could. First, can you help frame? If you take a look at the signed leases in 2019 is about $55 million of annualized rent. Can you frame for us what the total opportunity was that you were pursuing in dollars in 2019 to give us just a relative sense? And are you finding that you're -- that there's just maybe less available in the market for certain areas that you may want to fill? Or are you purposely moving away from those because of price or returns or some other factors? And then the second thing is just if you take a step back, are there things in the portfolio that CoreSite would benefit from over time? Larger sales force, different systems, certain geographies? Are there certain things that you're finding could be incremental to pursue the growth in wallet share opportunities that you're looking to achieve?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
So Michael, typically, we don't give out specific sales forecasts. And so we probably shouldn't retroactively give out comparisons to sales forecast. But obviously, we're very happy with having a record sales year last year and what it tells us about the market. In terms of the latter part of your question, it's a really good question and kind of balances between strategy and execution, what you're doing, what we're doing. Strategy is obviously really important. And we and our Board take it seriously, and we evaluate it regularly. But there's -- if you'll pardon my use of the expression, there's no Polish proverb to the effect that execution eats strategy's lunch. And we have consistent, as you pointed out, we have put more focus on execution in the last few years. And I think you see some of that showing up in our results already. We're building faster, better and more cost effectively. And capacity is crucial for sales.
We're selling more effectively, including the difficult transition to selling hybrid cloud data center solutions to enterprises who are relatively new to colocation, which shows up in our rising new logo sales. We've made agile changes in our product offerings that we've talked about that are specifically targeted to facilitating the customer journey to the hybrid cloud while easing the transition to a colocation model. Every one of those products has a purpose, making it easier to switch from one cloud to another, making it easier to provision, redundancy for both resiliency and cloud SLAs, making it easier for companies to flatten their WAN networks, and be able to save significantly on our overall network cost as they move to a hybrid cloud model. And even giving them the same visibility into their colocation environment in terms of temperature, humidity, power and other features that they would have if they were using on-premises data center facilities. Again, easing that transition and that comfort level and to go into colocation. So it's been a big area of focus for us. And frankly, I don't want to underestimate the importance of operational effectiveness. That's reflected in our vastly improved uptime record, our significantly better PUE, which by the way, is a frequently -- frequent comment from enterprise customers moving into colocation is how much they are saving in terms of power cost and energy efficiency by moving into this environment as well as the improved operating efficiencies at the data center level. Again, these customers that may have some discomfort moving from on-prem to colocation and are putting a lot of their digital transformation into this hybrid cloud model, they really, really take a lot of comfort in those operational improvements. So again, wrapping up. And as I mentioned earlier, I think we have more markets that we can grow in now relative to what we had historically. And I'll reiterate what I said on other calls that pound-per-pound or share-for-share, I think we have a higher concentration of exposure to strong growth markets than probably any of our peers. So we feel good about where we are. We continue to look at and evaluate other opportunities but we believe these ongoing improvements in execution, coupled with the tailwinds, we believe, will be strong for a few years. Plus our scale and strong ecosystems in key markets is what makes us optimistic going forward, and I think what is showing up in our sales levels.

Our next question comes from the line of Sami Badri with Credit Suisse. Please proceed with your question.
Ahmed Sami Badri -- Credit Suisse AG -- Analyst
Looking at your annualized rent mix by customer type, unsurprisingly, cloud revenues keep growing as a percentage of mix now at 33% of annualized revenues as of 4Q 2019. But if I look at the total enterprise rent or the other enterprise mix that moved to 44.6% on an annualized basis, it was actually down slightly in 4Q '19, and it was down a little bit more on a sequential basis in 3Q '19. So could you just give us more color on why this is happening? And should the enterprise footprint in your facility on an annualized revenue basis continue to decline as a percentage of total mix? Or should it be stabilizing around this 33% of annualized rents level?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Well, I think what you're seeing, Sami, is just another data manifestation of the churn versus the sales. I believe, and Jeff will correct me if I'm wrong, that the vast majority of the churn that we have been experiencing this year and last year that relates to these older business models has been categorized in the enterprise bucket.
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
That's correct. Yes.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
So as that bucket -- those enterprises have shrunk as a percentage of our portfolio. And eventually, that churn wanes because we just don't have that much more left there. Theoretically, that should see -- that should drive up the percentage of our share of enterprise, with the caveat that as we saw last year, we are seeing more edge cloud use cases and cloud demand for availability zones in these high-performance markets. So that may counterbalance the growth in our enterprises.
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
And Sami, just to give you a little bit more color around the new logos that are buying from us, about 78% of them are enterprise versus 20% on cloud and a few new networks as well. So just gives you a bit of color as to where the new logos are coming from and I do think you'll see some big lumps in cloud as they -- that's how they buy.
Ahmed Sami Badri -- Credit Suisse AG -- Analyst
Got it. And then just as a follow-up. As you look at your interconnection revenue that keeps outpacing rent growth on a year-on-year basis, what is -- would you see some of these new data manifestations or what is driving some of the accelerations in interconnection growth? And if you were to pinpoint on customer types, cloud, network and the other enterprise category, do you think that this is -- which customer type is driving us? And do you think that this could accelerate given the change in the data manifestation business types?
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Yes, Sami, let me give you some information related to that and see if Steve has anything else to follow more broadly. But in terms of that interconnection growth, revenue growth, historically, as we've said, you get about 2/3 of that revenue growth that come from pure increase in just the volume of the cross-connect products. And then you get to the other 1/3 of that growth, really comes from those customers moving from a lower-priced product into a higher-priced product as well as, as customers renew, you get some price increases from those conversations as well as on occasion, we look at what our list prices are for our various products. So that's what captures that remaining 1/3. As you think about going forward and where we're seeing some of that growth, it's important to look at ultimately, who our customers are ordering connections to and where we're seeing outpaced growth as compared to overall. Are those customers connected to our cloud customers? And that has been consistent for the last couple of years. It's probably twoto three x higher from a percentage basis than the overall growth. And that just leads to a lot of the ecosystem that Steve and Paul have commented on. But anything else to add there, Steve?
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
I think you spoke about it well there, Jeff. When you think about enterprises, connecting their hybrid architecture, as we mentioned before, it really does need to be well connected and low latency fashion. And with some of the upgrades that we've made in our OCX platform as well as adding new on-ramps to our campuses, that's helped facilitate all of that as well as some of the newer products that we provided as far as intersite capabilities and so forth. So we've seen some good uptick in that product as well.

Our next question comes from the line of Frank Louthan with Raymond James. Please proceed with your question.
Frank Garrett Louthan -- Raymond James & Associates -- Analyst
I want to go back to the churn and just get a little more detail. You did mention that customers impacted going to public cloud. You think this is going to kind of slow down. Give us some more color on what -- so what is that based on? Is that customer feedback? Or is there a particular vertical that you have the exposure to and why you're confident that after these next couple of quarters, where you're calling out the elevated churn that this situation you found yourself in is going to correct itself?
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Yes, Frank, this is Jeff. Let me just provide a little bit of additional color around that and hope it -- I hope it helps. We've obviously spent a lot of time, energy and effort in 2019 just continuing to peel back the onion and better understand some of the contributors to the churn. And specifically related to some of those business models. And some of what we found, just to give you some color around it, are, as an example, some of the resellers in the marketplace are an example of some of those business models that are not as strong today as they were historically. And you saw some of that impacting our 2019 churn, some of it is impacting 2020. And then there's other business models that rely heavily on the need and desire for burst capacity various times during the year. Some of those customers rely on the cloud, other customers rely on us in terms of adding capacity.
And when you look at that, those are the areas that have some exposure to migrating some or part of those to the cloud or to just that may not be as strong and may migrate out of our data center entirely. When you look at and quantify what remaining exposure we have, as I commented on, it's much lower today than it has been historically. We're at about 4% to 6% of our annualized rent that's embedded in our base today. That's why we get comfort that as we look beyond 2020, we believe those churn levels will recede back to the historical levels of 7.5% to 8%, and that's what we're modeling and why we continue to be optimistic and in relationship to some of the comments we've provided today. So hopefully, that helps.
Frank Garrett Louthan -- Raymond James & Associates -- Analyst

Our next question comes from the line of Mike Funk with Bank of America. Please proceed with your question.
Michael J. Funk -- BofA Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
A couple, if I could. Going back to your comments on SV7, maybe just quickly, can you let us know what the expiring rent is there relative to market rates? I have a quick follow-up question after that one.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
We try to not talk about the customer specifics. We have mentioned in the past that this lease was signed when market conditions were fairly tight in Santa Clara but they seem to be fairly tight in Santa Clara today as well. So it's really hard to predict.
Michael J. Funk -- BofA Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Great. And then second one, you mentioned the part of the move driver is, I mean, performance centric applications, maybe not being as performance centric as the customers thought. As you look at some of your higher profile locations, how good a visibility do you have into the use cases of your customers in those facilities and maybe risk a further churn as customers look at the need to be paying peak rents versus being, say, 100 miles away?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
As we've said in the past, there is always a dynamic related to this because some customers just don't have that type of visibility, especially we're in the start -- when they are in the start-up phase and are scaling up. Having said that, we don't have -- we've got this one big chunk, I don't believe that we have anything comparably sized that would be subject to this dynamic elsewhere in the portfolio.
Michael J. Funk -- BofA Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
And maybe just kind of comment on some other comments from the quarter. So I guess, Cummings on their call mentioned they project 5% to 10% decline in power generation because they're seeing some slippage of construction from nine from '20 into '21. I think Google said they expect to have more of their spending budget allocated toward servers over data centers. So I mean, certainly some mixed commentary out there just about the kind of the strength of the data center market and demand in role. I'd love to get your thoughts or commentary on that.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
So again, we have a hard time seeing what's going on outside our markets and our customer activity, but from what we see, demand still seems to be strong. Having said that, if you just look broadly, from what we could all see, they're markets that have low barriers to entry, saw significant private capital going to development platforms over the last two years and probably got overbuilt. To some extent, we've mentioned that in Northern Virginia and the spec construction that took place in 2018 and 2019, which appears to have abated quite a bit. So that may be part of it. And I think you've got similar dynamics going on in markets like Phoenix and Dallas. So -- and maybe other markets that are less visible to all of us, but that may be a part of it, of what you're seeing there, Michael. I don't know that we see any slowdown. I mean, you look at the overall growth trends of the major CSPs, and they still seem to be in absolute terms, growing the same volume year-over-year.
Michael J. Funk -- BofA Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
And your comments imply that maybe some of the speculative capital is pulling back out of those markets after coming in the last two years. In the markets where you do compete, are you seeing any kind of specific changes in competitor behavior, maybe less aggressive or more aggressive? Any kind of change in behavior?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
No, I mean, the only one where we've really seen a significant amount of that has been -- that we're in, has been Northern Virginia. And I believe we have absolutely seen a pullback in privately funded, speculative development. And I don't know, it's three or four of those development platforms have explicitly announced that they're not going to go forward with the spec development. They're trying to mutate into a build-to-suit model.
Michael J. Funk -- BofA Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
And then one final one, I appreciate all the time here. Just to clarify, so what is your exposure, if any, to some of the second-tier data center providers? I guess, even guys like Flexential, Flexera, Internap, do you have any exposure there as far as leasing space?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
I think that's covered in Jeff's comment about how our exposure to that kind of sector in general has declined. That has been in some respects, some of our churn, at least with respect to one of those companies. But again, we don't have much of that left.
Michael J. Funk -- BofA Merrill Lynch -- Analyst
Great. So that's on that low single digits that you called out, the 4% to 6% for the business, right?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Exactly.

Our next question comes from the line of Erik Rasmussen with Stifel. Please proceed with your question.
Erik Peter Rasmussen -- Stifel, Nicolaus & Company -- Analyst
So in terms of your 2020 guidance, how should we think about the range of your revenue guidance of $600 million to $610 million? What can drive that to the lower end of that range? And then what are your thoughts about the company's ability to return to low double-digit growth possibly in 2021?
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Erik, it's Jeff. Let me just give you some feedback on your first question related to revenue. And I think similar to what Paul alluded to in his prepared remarks, we've got the capacity today as compared to the last couple of years, where I think it gives us the agility to compete more effectively, where we can see some of that demand. Assuming the demand continues, I just think it gives us the capabilities to compete more effectively, specially for some of those scale deals that might be in the marketplace. So I think we're optimistic about that. But we got to see ultimately how the market evolves and where those opportunities arise. And as we've said historically, those tend to be fairly lumpy. In terms of your question longer term, the ability to return to double-digit growth, I would say that as I look near term in, call it, the next two to three years, I think we're optimistic to get back to those high single-digit growth rates assuming we continue to execute on some of the priorities Paul laid out. And assuming that the churn recedes back to those levels we've seen historically. And I think we're optimistic about getting back to those high single-digit growth levels in the near term.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
And I'd just add, remind you, the comments I made earlier that we're a bigger company, the denominator is bigger, the industry is more mature and yet, relative to other REIT sectors, I think our prospects for recurring annual growth over the intermediate term are better than probably all the other ones I could think of, or at least most of them I can think of. And I think that's a good business model.
Erik Peter Rasmussen -- Stifel, Nicolaus & Company -- Analyst
Great. And then VA3 seemed to make a nice progress despite no scale deals in the quarter. Are you starting to see any movement where leasing dynamics are improving, where you would potentially participate in this market when it comes to larger deals?
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
Yes. I would just say, you're exactly right. I mean, our fourth quarter was actually the best quarter we've had in two years. So -- and if you look at the makeup of that, as you look in the overall numbers, it's all retail-type of business, good enterprise business that we've been selling there. So we've been able to really sell effectively into our first phase there and now into the second phase. And we have seen good pipeline and good results there. So we're optimistic and as the opportunities present themselves, both in the retail and scale, there is scale opportunities out there that value that type of platform that we both now have the capacity for as well as the interconnection for those low legacy applications that exist out there. We just -- as we've said in the past, we are trying to be diligent and pragmatic about those opportunities and ensure that they add value to the platform and deliver the returns that we expect.
Erik Peter Rasmussen -- Stifel, Nicolaus & Company -- Analyst
And maybe just last, just following on that theme. Obviously, last year was a great year for your scale colo business. I mean, I think it was up 4x of what it was the prior year. Is that where we are today? Is this sort of an achievable target for the company this year? Or it's still too early to tell when we're waiting on sort of some of these key markets to come back?
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
Well, as Jeff mentioned, we're optimistic about the growth opportunities that we see ahead of us. It was a record year for us. And as you can back into the math of our current guidance, we have not expected that same type of result in our current sales mix for 2020 but we're optimistic about that opportunity for us. But those deals and that leasing is very lumpy, as we've depicted in the past. And so trying to forecast that type of growth is challenging.
Erik Peter Rasmussen -- Stifel, Nicolaus & Company -- Analyst

Our next question comes from the line of Nate Crossett with Berenberg. Please proceed with your question.
Nathan Daniel Crossett -- Joh. Berenberg -- Analyst
A lot's been answered already, but what are you guys expecting for interconnect pricing going forward? So it looks like MRR per cabinet, the growth rate has trended down of late. What's kind of a stabilized long-term growth rate that we should be assuming for that?
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Nate, as you look at that MRR per Cab E and you look at the results for the fourth quarter, really what contributed to the -- I think it's 4.1% overall growth rate year-over-year, is the largest contributor to that was the interconnection revenue growth. And historically, we've been in that mid-single digits for that MRR per Cab E growth. I would expect that, as we think about 2020, to be probably low single to mid-single -- low to mid-single digits for 2020, and largely, it's because of the guidance we've given around our mark-to-market on renewals being a little bit lower for this year. So that's how I would think about it as you head into 2020 given where we are today.
Nathan Daniel Crossett -- Joh. Berenberg -- Analyst
Okay. And then just going on that cash renewals, what would the 2020 guidance have been if you stripped out some of the larger roll downs? Or is it just across the board roll downs everywhere? Just trying to get a sense of normalized kind of pricing.
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Yes. I think it's -- I would look at it from the perspective of what we experienced the last two quarters, which is both in the third quarter and in the fourth quarter, we had a handful of customers where we had some roll downs, and Steve alluded to it in his prepared remarks, and that's dependent upon their size. It's dependent upon the term of their leases and more specific into the market, which those renewals are. Once you strip those out, the pricing in both the third and fourth quarter was positive. I think it was 3.4% last year -- I'm sorry, last -- in fourth quarter, and I think it was 2.8% is my recollection in the third quarter. So that's the dynamic you're seeing and I think that dynamic will continue as we go through 2020.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Jeff, would it be helpful for him to understand for every 100 basis points of churn or combination of churn and mark-to-market, what that means in terms of dollars for us, and that falls to the bottom line?
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Yes. No, I think, Nate, specifically, I think what Paul has alluded to is, if you just think about our 2020 guidance and forecast, when you look at our churn from 2019, it ended the year at 11.1%. If you get that down to a more normal range where we have been historically, so just strip 4 % points off that to make the math easy. That type of elevated churn in '19, that net 4 % points adds another $12 million or roughly $0.25 per share to our bottom line in 2020. And I think that gives you an indication of some of those headwinds we faced headed into 2020 and it makes it real when you start to quantify it from that perspective. Is that what you're looking for?
Nathan Daniel Crossett -- Joh. Berenberg -- Analyst
Yes. I mean, that's helpful. Just a completely different topic now. What are you guys doing on the ESG front in terms of commitment to clean energy? What are the targets you guys have put out? And then maybe can you speak to what the financial impact would be or could be by going, for example, 100% green?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
So first of all, I'll just refer you to the ESG report that we put out every year. Our primary focus, quite honestly, has been on energy efficiency, dollar-for-dollar. That's the largest impact on our and our customers' greenness. And frankly, we're already providing a lot of that greenness to customers. We know of one customer, for example, that is able to qualify their new compute environment as one of the 10 greenest in the world just by moving into our more power-efficient data centers from their on-premises deployment. So that's where most of our focus has been. As we've said in the past, we will purchase renewable energy where it is allowed by the local utility, and where the cost is basically competitive, i.e., will not adversely impact our customers and that tends to be the focus of our customers, and that is what we have been -- that's what we've accomplished. We also, quite honestly, encourage our utilities to generate and allocate other low carbon or noncarbon sources of generation. But because we don't have control over the power mix and our more regulated markets, we don't have any specific targets but we do advocate for noncarbon and renewable generation sources, and we do as often as they allow us, and we can do so competitively purchase and wheel in those sources of energy.
Nathan Daniel Crossett -- Joh. Berenberg -- Analyst

Our next question comes from the line of Richard Choe with JPMorgan.
Yong Choe -- JP Morgan Chase & Co -- Analyst
I just wanted to clarify on the annualized rent, cash rent growth, the five customers and you mentioned the 2015 vintage, is this something that's going to last just through 2020? Or is it going to last for a few years, since it just started in the second half of last year? Just wondered -- get a sense of how long you might be facing some of these roll downs going forward.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Yes. So Richard, as I said, I think in response to an earlier question, it's hard to predict beyond 2020 because you don't know what supply and demand will be in each market and what that will mean for market pricing in each market. But we do believe it's like a lot of -- like even the churn that we're experiencing is that you do go through these vintages. And then eventually, the effects of a certain vintage or two go away. And so we don't really have visibility beyond 2020. But if history is any guide, we should see some improvement in these areas going forward past 2020.
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Richard, the only thing I'd add is on Page 15 of the supplemental, just take a look also at our lease expiration table. It'll give you an idea what those expirations are on a per square foot to compare that to our current pricing, and then just monitor that as we move forward. I think it gives you a better idea of maybe where that's going to be longer term.

Our next question is a follow-up question from the line of Jordan Sadler with KeyBanc Capital Markets.
Jordan Sadler -- KeyBanc Capital Markets -- Analyst
I was -- just want to dial in a second on California for a second. Could you give what you think market pricing is for scale in Santa Clara these days?
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
I don't know if you want to -- I don't know if there's -- it's difficult to disclose what market pricing is. There are so many factors that go into a price for a given customer, depending upon their density, the size of the deployment as well as their interconnection requirements. So that's why the moment of silence there because it's really difficult to kind of quantify a given market price, given all those different factors.
Jordan Sadler -- KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc -- Analyst
Is it feasible for a scale requirement to do better than $250 per [kdep]?
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
All in? Is that what you're talking about?
Jordan Sadler -- KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc -- Analyst
Yes. Yes.
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
I guess -- again, it just depends on the deployment. And there's a lot of different ways to configure a pricing parameter around a different -- a given customer based on their power draw, their density levels, all those different factors. So just challenging for me to even give you a straight answer.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
And honestly, we've encountered different dynamics and other companies do because our ecosystem has a different value than campuses that don't have the same density and diversity of customers who are using all the various services and want to do it with the lowest latency or 0 latency, in essence, highest bandwidth, the highest security for exchanging data. And so there's -- it's like saying in other forms of real estate, what's the market price for space, in particular, mixed-use development. A lot of that depends on what the mixed-use development is compared to what other alternatives are.
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
The only other thing I would just kind of add to my comments with is, as you build a contractual agreement with a customer, there's a lot of factors that go into that. Part of it is size and density and so forth but also expected power draw from that customer. And how you manage that in relation to the rest of the draw of that computer room in the building. So it really is very challenging, really impossible to give you just a market price without knowing the exact parameters of the customer.
Jordan Sadler -- KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc -- Analyst
Okay. And then just a follow-up maybe for Jeff. Jeff, have you thought about the potential exposure to Prop 13 for CoreSite?
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Yes, Jordan. We have looked at it over the last couple of years. And basically, when you look at that portion of a property tax expense that's isolated to specifically California and then more specifically to those leases where we do not have the ability to pass-through the cost increases, it's limited to about $3.5 million that sits inside our portfolio. That's equal to about 15% of our total property tax expense. And so what's important also about that the...
Jordan Sadler -- KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc -- Analyst
Your direct exposure to California property taxes is $3.5 million.
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
For that portion in which we cannot pass cost increase to customers. Yes, that's correct. So $3.5 million. And just to give you some other data around it that I think helps as we look at this, the leases associated with that $3.5 million, they, on average, have a remaining lease term of about two.five years. So obviously, we'll have plenty of opportunities near term to have -- continue to have conversations about maintaining them and pricing it accordingly. But we're watching that closely and continue to monitor the overall effects to our business.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Jordan, I'd only add that these are estimates based on what we believe the impact on property tax valuations would be. Obviously, if this thing passes and it gets implemented latter part of 2021 into 2022, some of those things will be determined more specifically.
Jordan Sadler -- KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc -- Analyst
Right, right. Okay. Thank you.

Our next question comes from the line of Michael Bilerman with Citigroup. Please proceed with your question.
Michael Bilerman -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
So I just want to go back on the churn. Just in terms of -- as you discussed last year, it caught you by surprise, and you have spent a lot of time digging into it. Jeff, you said, peeling back the onion to really understand things. What have you done from an organizational perspective in terms of changes, in terms of reporting lines, maybe people who left the organization, the people who joined the organization? I guess, other than just sucking it up and having a lot of churn last year and this year, what are you doing differently to get The Street comfortable that this won't be a recurring problem?
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Well, obviously, Jeff and his team, as he's mentioned, have done a lot more digging and analytics around the customer base. But we have also made it a high priority with all of our general managers in each market, working collaboratively with the sales team to have specific responsibilities and reporting around churn, risk, expectations, what's being done with respect to each customer. We've laid out a new rubric for determining how to address customers when they come in at renewal and want a pricing change or something like that, when do we give that, when do we not. The main focus being at least not be surprised by it. But having said that, I think even had those efforts been in place a year to 18 months ago, where those new processes in place a year to 18 months ago, I don't think it would have changed our experience that much because, quite honestly, a significant part of the -- probably almost all of the unexpected churn is churn that really wasn't to be expected based on lease terms. Customers churned out before their lease term was up or even customers that, at one stage in the discussions, were planning to renew and then somewhere late in the game, changed their minds. So we should be able to have -- I think the biggest comfort, as you said, for The Street is just the fact that a lot of these business models have significantly declined, as Jeff described, as a percentage of our portfolio.
Michael Bilerman -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
I guess, there's an element of the leasing decisions initially, right? So in the banking world, we're all familiar with clawbacks when something you do turns out to have not been the right thing. And so I wonder, just on your initial leasing, is there changes there that need to be made in terms of the types of customers you're bringing into the portfolio that may have a higher risk of churn in the future, right? So are you making better leasing decisions today? And also, it sounds like you're taking it a lot seriously trying to manage the outgoing of customers from churn.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
So I think we're making good leasing decisions today. I can't really say that they're better because when you look at some of these customers that came in and some of them have been in place for seven, eight, nine years, had vibrant business models at the time. And I think neither they nor most people really expected the significant disruption from cloud that started occurring four, five years ago. So that's always a part of this business. It's why we stress the importance of constantly acquiring new logos. That's why we've tried to build great relationships for edge cloud use cases, with the major CSPs who are good to work with and are obviously good credits. So yes, I think that as we work through this -- these churn episodes, we come out with a stronger portfolio. But I think the company has always been pretty careful about its leasing decisions. I mean, that shows up in our very low bad debt expenses.
Michael Bilerman -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
Right. And just specifically on the 10% for next year, so it sounds like 370 in the first quarter, 250 for a specific tenant in the fourth quarter, which leaves about 380 spread over the second, third and fourth, just from what I guess I would call normal, so 120 basis points a quarter. Is that -- just make sure I got the math right. Is that right?
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Yes, I think that's close, Michael. I'd say 350 was our midpoint for the first quarter. So you were just a little bit high there, but that might leave you about 400 basis points for the rest of the last three quarters.
Michael Bilerman -- Citigroup Inc -- Analyst
Right. And is that -- I guess, just knowing that number, is that enough, right? I mean, I guess, are you being conservative enough on the level of an anticipated churn that normally would have would occur outside of what you know today, right? If it's going to be really high in the first quarter, what's to say that it won't stay at an elevated level through the second, third and fourth quarter, right?
Jeffrey S. Finnin -- Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer
Got it. Yes. No, it's obviously something we look at as we're going through all of our renewals over the next, call it, 24 months, and it's our expectations that it would be lower. Typically, on a typical quarter for us, it's usually 1% to 2% is what we've seen historically. So those numbers don't sound out of line with what the remaining portion is.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
And Michael, just as Jeff mentioned earlier, the higher churn in the first quarter is basically one customer and the higher churn in the fourth quarter is another customer. And absent that, we don't see any other customers of significant magnitude -- of similar magnitude that are in that category.
Steven J. Smith -- Chief Revenue Officer
And obviously, as you get closer to those co-quarters, we get better visibility, right? So...

There are no further questions in the queue. I'd like to hand the call back over to Paul Szurek for closing remarks.
Paul E. Szurek -- President Chief Executive Officer and Director
Thank you. Thank you all for your time and your interest today. Those are a lot of good questions. I'd just like to wrap up by thanking my colleagues throughout the company for all the progress they've made and proactively and efficiently building new capacity, expanding our sales to new enterprise customers, and supporting customers with new connectivity products and exceptional operations. I'm very fortunate to work with this group of people. And just to recap, we believe the ongoing benefits of these improvements, along with the secular tailwinds for our campuses should lead to a resurgence of growth if we outpace churn for our expectations. We look forward to working to achieve that future, and we hope all of you have a great day. Thanks very much.
