CoreWeave Signs as Anchor Tenant for eStruxture’s New 90MW Data Center in Calgary
Canadian data center operator eStruxture Data Centers has secured AI cloud firm CoreWeave as the anchor tenant for the first phase of its new CAL-3 facility in Calgary, Alberta, marking a significant milestone in the region’s emergence as a technology hub. The 90MW facility, located in Rocky View County, is scheduled to come online in the second half of 2026, with CoreWeave committing to a portion of its capacity as the lead tenant for Phase I. Specific terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
The deal underscores the growing demand for high-density, energy-efficient infrastructure to support AI workloads in Canada. eStruxture designed CAL-3 to push the boundaries of power density and cooling efficiency, offering densities up to 125kW per rack. Todd Coleman, founder, president, and CEO of eStruxture, stated, “Calgary has officially arrived as a top technology destination. Our CAL-3 facility was designed to push the boundaries of power density and cooling efficiency, and CoreWeave’s commitment to anchor Phase 1 is a powerful endorsement of eStruxture’s platform. This is eStruxture delivering on its promise to bring the infrastructure Canada’s AI economy needs.”
Plans for CAL-3 were first announced in October 2024, adding to eStruxture’s growing footprint in the region. The company, launched in 2017, currently operates two other facilities in Calgary and 16 total across Canada. Its earlier developments include CAL-1, acquired from Shaw Communications in 2019, and CAL-2, which launched in 2023. In 2024, Fengate Asset Management acquired eStruxture for CA$1.8 billion (US$1.3 billion), reflecting the strategic value of its Canadian data center portfolio.
For CoreWeave, the partnership is part of a broader expansion across Canada. Sachin Jain, chief operating officer of CoreWeave, noted, “CoreWeave’s investment is a result of Alberta’s proactive approach to fostering AI innovation, and the provincial government and Invest Alberta have been terrific partners every step of the way. That kind of commitment matters when we make long-term AI infrastructure investments. These facilities serve as anchors for regional economic activity that can compound over time for the communities that host them. We are pleased to partner with eStruxture on CAL-3 and look forward to serving customers across Canada from this facility.”
CoreWeave currently operates the CA-East availability zones in Ontario, which are managed as Dedicated Access zones reserved for single tenants. The company was recently announced as a customer of Bell’s upcoming 300MW campus in Saskatchewan. Globally, CoreWeave has surpassed 1GW of data center capacity across nearly 50 facilities, with plans to reach 1.7GW by the end of 2026. The firm has approximately 3.5GW contracted to come online by 2027 and as much as 8GW by 2030. CoreWeave relies heavily on third-party providers for its capacity, with leasing partners across North America including Core Scientific, Galaxy, Related Digital, Applied Digital, Chirisa Technology Parks, Lincoln, Flexential, TierPoint, Digital Realty, DataBank, Switch, and Digital Crossroads. Its customer base includes major names such as OpenAI, Microsoft, IBM, Nvidia, and Meta.
The CAL-3 deal highlights the strategic importance of Calgary as a growing data center market, driven by supportive provincial policies and the increasing need for AI-ready infrastructure. As CoreWeave continues to scale its operations, partnerships like this one are expected to anchor regional economic activity and reinforce Canada’s role in the global AI landscape.
