Data center firm Yondr has energized its facility in Toronto, Canada. DigitalBridge-owned Yondr Group this week powered up the 27MW data center, which is expected to be ready for service in mid-2026. The project marks Yondr’s first development in Canada. Announced in 2024, construction on the three-story facility began in February 2025. The 4.5-acre site in Ontario uses a closed-loop cooling system to reduce water consumption.
John Madden, Yondr’s chief data center officer, said: “We’re proud to mark the energization of our Toronto data center campus – a major milestone that moves us another step closer to delivering critical digital infrastructure for the region. Demand for capacity is accelerating at a pace we’ve never experienced before, driven by AI scale and a shift towards compute–led economies. Our Toronto campus forms a key part of Yondr’s strategy to deliver the next generation of sustainable, high-performance data center capacity across North America and beyond.”
Yondr is headquartered in London and was previously owned by single-family investment office Cathexis, Apollo Global Management, and Mubadala. It was acquired by DigitalBridge and Canadian pension fund La Caisse in a deal that closed in July 2025, with German financial giant Allianz later taking a minority stake. The company operates data center campuses across Europe, Asia, and North America, with developments in Virginia, Texas, Canada, the UK, Indonesia, Japan, Germany, and the Netherlands.
