Data center developer Yondr is expanding into Canada with its first data center in Toronto.
The company this week announced it has secured a 4.5-acre site in the city and plans to develop a three-story, 27MW facility. Further details on location and specifications weren’t shared.
The data center is due online in mid-2026.
Adam Sharp, development director at Yondr Group, said: “Our Toronto data center campus will support one of North America’s high-growth digital infrastructure hubs, and underpins our commitment to delivering scalable, secure, and cost-efficient data centers that play a vital role in bolstering the digital economy and accommodating future technologies."
Yondr is a developer, owner, and operator of data centers. The company currently has a contracted capacity of 878MW, with more than 58MW currently operational. The company has projects in Virginia, the UK, Malaysia, Indonesia, Japan, Germany, the Netherlands, and India.
Yondr is headquartered in London and was previously owned by single-family investment office Cathexis, Apollo Global Management, and Mubadala. October 2024 saw DigitalBridge announce it would acquire Yondr, though terms weren’t disclosed.
