An existing 6 MW facility being expanded by 54 MW to 60 MW in total, with a C$225M construction loan from CPP Investments. The operating status rests on an August 2025 Globe and Mail report that the facility was opening the following month, plus an aggregator listing; no source since then confirms energization. CoreWeave is named as tenant and Cohere as anchor customer via the Globe and Mail and DCD, with a Baxtel profile tying ownership to TowerBrook Capital Partners.
