Overview of Canada Data Center Market Growth 

Toronto and Montreal continue to be the primary locations for data center operators in Canada, attracting substantial investments. However, cities like Vancouver and Quebec City are expected to see increased investments in the near future. The Canadian data center landscape is expanding, with new players such as Beacon AI Centers, Bit Digital, Cohere, and Yondr contributing to growth. The Canadian government’s supportive policies for foreign investors allow flexibility in choosing locations, making the country an appealing investment hub. While industrial land costs in the Greater Toronto area are high, the availability of land across Canada encourages greenfield developments. Recent developments include new data centers from Exaion in Quebec and OVHcloud in Toronto. As demand for data center space increases, the area per MW for construction is expected to decrease, while industrial land prices are anticipated to rise over time. 

Canada as a Leading Colocation Data Center Hub 

Canada is a leading colocation data center hub in the Americas, with a strong presence of over 100 operating facilities, particularly in Toronto, which hosts a significant portion of the country’s data centers. The market is expected to see further growth with investments from companies like Vantage Data Centers, Qscale, and STACK Infrastructure. 

The average occupancy rate across Canada’s data centers is high, with Toronto's facilities seeing strong demand as well. Revenue generation per MW varies by colocation type, with operators in Canada typically earning substantial revenues from their operations. 

In 2024, Digital Realty reported strong performance from its data centers in the Toronto region, with impressive occupancy and revenue figures. The market is also seeing increased activity from real estate and investment firms, such as Fengate Asset Management’s significant acquisition of eStruxture Data Centers, signaling growing consolidation. 

Equinix stands out in the market with the highest utilization rate and large capacity, and the influx of new players is expected to increase competition, driving further revenue growth in the Canadian colocation data center sector.  

Canada’s Role in Advancing AI and AI-Ready Data Centers 

Canada is a key player in the advancement of AI technology in the Americas, being the first country to introduce a national AI strategy, the Pan-Canadian AI Strategy, which focuses on commercialization, standards, and talent & research. In recent developments, the Canadian government has made significant investments in AI, including a $240 million investment in AI firm Cohere in November 2024 and a $15 million initiative to attract pension funds to invest in AI-powered data centers. Additionally, a $2 billion Canadian Sovereign AI Compute Strategy was launched in December 2024 to enhance AI infrastructure in the country. 

The AI data center market in Canada is experiencing rapid growth, with projects like KALiNA Power's agreement with Crusoe to develop AI data centers in Alberta, and Cohere’s plans to develop its own AI data center, operated by CoreWeave. Alberta also introduced its AI Data Centre Strategy in December 2024, planning a massive $100 billion investment over the next five years, focusing on power capacity, sustainable cooling, and economic growth. 

In October 2024, eStruxture announced plans to build a new AI-ready data center in Calgary, with a $540 million investment, offering substantial power capacity and high-density racks. This reflects a larger trend of shifting toward AI-ready data centers, driven by rising demand for AI in sectors such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. With over 670 AI startups and 30 generative AI companies, Canada’s AI sector is poised for continued growth, driving the demand for cutting-edge data center infrastructure and cooling technologies.
