Digital Realty Toronto North Expansion (TOR1 / YYZ11) is a flagship 54 MW hyperscale-ready data center campus strategically located in Vaughan, Ontario, within the rapidly growing Greater Toronto Area, one of Canada's most important digital infrastructure and cloud connectivity markets. Developed through the redevelopment of a 711,000-square-foot former commercial printing facility, the campus has been purpose-built to support the next generation of cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, enterprise IT, and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads. The facility incorporates 17 large-scale, high-density computer rooms engineered to accommodate rack power densities exceeding 30 kW per rack, providing customers with the flexibility to deploy both traditional enterprise infrastructure and advanced GPU-intensive AI clusters. As part of Digital Realty's PlatformDIGITAL® global data center ecosystem, TOR1 delivers seamless access to a highly connected digital infrastructure platform while offering direct, low-latency connectivity to Toronto's primary carrier hotel at 151 Front Street West (YYZ12), multiple cloud on-ramps, leading network service providers, internet exchanges, and enterprise ecosystems. The campus has been designed with a strong emphasis on operational efficiency and sustainability, utilizing advanced waterless indirect economizer cooling technology that significantly reduces water consumption while maintaining reliable thermal performance throughout Canada's varying climate conditions. Highly efficient electrical and mechanical systems enable the facility to achieve an impressive annualized Power Usage Effectiveness (PUE) of approximately 1.25, lowering operational costs and environmental impact. Supported by redundant utility infrastructure, scalable power distribution, resilient backup systems, and enterprise-grade physical and digital security, Digital Realty Toronto North Expansion serves as a critical digital infrastructure hub for hyperscale cloud providers, SaaS companies, financial institutions, content delivery networks, and multinational enterprises seeking secure, scalable, and future-ready colocation capacity in Canada's largest metropolitan market.
