The C$1.7 billion phase is fully pre-leased to Cerebras and CoreWeave. It has four data halls, two for each tenant, delivered about a quarter apart through 2027. An adjacent 35-acre commercial parcel is planned, including a possible University of Regina greenhouse that would reuse data centre waste heat.
