DC requiring XC for BGP

This is a first for me, maybe it's more normal than I am used to. Just wondering what others experiences are.

One of the DCs we have equipment colocated at is being made our primary location soon. We requested a BGP session so we could move our IP over and they came back with saying that we would have to pay for a pretty expensive cross-connect just to get BGP working. Is that normal? That seems like bad network design to me since many other providers allow BGP without physical routing changes.

Edit: We already have a network drop from the DC that we have been using with their existing BGP blend. We would be peering with the DC.
