Yondr Group held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the initiation of its 27MW Toronto data center. The project, which Yondr is building on a 4.5-acre site, is the company’s first development in Canada.
Situated in a strategic location within Canada’s emerging data center hub, the three-story, 27MW data center is scheduled to achieve RFS by mid-2026. The project has been designed by Yondr to follow the Toronto Green Standard, the city’s sustainable design and performance requirements for new developments. This aligns with the company’s environmental goals and target for achieving net zero for scope 1 and 2 carbon emissions by 2030.
The building will feature a closed-loop cooling design, meaning once the chilled water loop is filled, the facility will not need to consume water for cooling. Once completed, the project will have bike parking, electric vehicle charging points and pedestrian-friendly walkways. The environmentally conscious landscaping plan will have native and pollinator plants, and the building’s glass will be bird-friendly, helping birds to see the building as a barrier and avoid collisions.
Kent Andersson, Program Controls Director for the Americas at Yondr Group, said: “Our Toronto data center forms a key part of our strategy for North America, where there is an urgent need to increase capacity to support the digital economy. This project will play a key role in providing the infrastructure needed to support cutting-edge cloud computing and connectivity, and enable the development of AI and future technologies in Canada and beyond.”
