Toronto STACK Infrastructure Data Centre | 25.01m | 2s | First Gulf | WZMH

[AHK]

Description added:

So, the Site Plan Approval application has been received on April 26, 2022.

Very Interesting.

On May 10, 2021, Post # 10 above, referred to a release by First Gulf which in the first paragraph said:

STACK INFRASTRUCTURE (“STACK” or the “Company”), the digital infrastructure partner to the world’s most innovative companies, today announced a partnership with First Gulf, a proven market leader in Canadian development and construction, to develop a 56 MW campus on a 19 acre site located at 3650 Danforth Avenue in Toronto, Ontario. STACK’s first international expansion is located minutes from Toronto’s downtown core and will include immediate capacity ready in mid-2022 as well as future expansion.

And that any questions should be directed to: 'For more information on the development of this project of First Gulf’s services, please contact Executive Vice President Brian Harrison at bharrison@firstgulf.com or 416-773-7095.'

Having some experience in data centre development and construction, I sent the following letter to Mr. Harrison (Needless to say, I never received a response):

All things considered, it looks rather decent for what this is and where this is.

Nothing wrong with maintaining employment uses in the inner suburbs, especially if they aren't particularly noxious or traffic-generating. Putting a data centre here is also a wiser use of land than putting one closer to downtown in an area that should be getting midrises or towers instead.

Completely agree.

Photos from Apr 16, looking N from Danforth Ave and W from Birchmount Rd. Looks like demo work has started, and a new door was installed on the retained northern building

Ford Motors has more interesting and dynamic looking factories. Just saying...
