55H is expanding its data center in Brampton, Ontario, to meet the growing demand for powerful computing, especially from AI clients. 55H plans to add a total of 20MW of IT power at its 55 Hereford Street data center through a three-phase project. Phase I is now ready for lease.
In the first phase, 2.5MW of power is available. Phase II will add another 2.5MW by the summer of 2025, and Phase III will bring an additional 15MW by 2026. 55H is partnering with Core Data Centers to expand its infrastructure, ensuring it can support the growing demands of advanced AI tasks.
Bryan Marsh, CEO of 55H, emphasized that the company is committed to helping AI businesses grow effectively. He mentioned that their significant investment in infrastructure shows their dedication to the AI industry. By offering reliable and scalable power solutions, they allow clients to focus on innovation without worrying about capacity limits.
The facility covers 215,000 square feet just outside Toronto, a key hub for data centers. Designed for high-density computing, it supports up to 130kW per rack by utilizing advanced liquid cooling solutions.
Loblaw Companies Limited previously utilized the site as an enterprise facility and obtained an Uptime Tier III certification, demonstrating its reliability and efficiency.
Toronto is establishing itself as a key location for data center expansion, drawing in major industry players like Digital Realty, Equinix, Microsoft, and EdgeConneX. As AI workloads create unprecedented demands for infrastructure, 55H’s phased expansion underscores the growing competition to deliver energy-efficient and high-performance data center solutions in the region.
