eStruxture is set to officially unveil CAL-3, a new hyperscale data centre development just outside Calgary that underscores Alberta’s growing role in Canada’s AI infrastructure buildout.
The Montreal-based company’s third facility in the Calgary region, CAL-3 is designed as a high-density, Tier III data centre capable of delivering up to 90 megawatts of power—positioning it as the largest data centre in Alberta once complete.
Located in Rocky View County, the site is being purpose-built to support AI workloads, cloud deployments, and enterprise applications at scale. With rack densities exceeding 125kW per cabinet and configurable data halls, the facility is engineered for the next generation of compute-intensive use cases, including large AI clusters.
The project represents a roughly $750 million investment and is expected to come online in 2026, adding significant capacity to a market increasingly defined by demand for power and land suitable for hyperscale infrastructure.
For eStruxture, CAL-3 builds on an existing Calgary footprint that includes its CAL-1 and CAL-2 facilities, creating a regional cluster with redundant connectivity and scalable expansion options.
More broadly, the development reflects a larger shift underway in Western Canada. As AI adoption accelerates, jurisdictions with access to reliable, scalable power are emerging as critical nodes in the global data centre landscape. Alberta, in particular, is attracting attention for its combination of energy availability, land, and regulatory alignment.
CAL-3 is designed to take advantage of those conditions, offering carrier-neutral connectivity, flexible deployment models, and infrastructure capable of supporting both hyperscale and enterprise customers.
The facility also highlights a growing reality for Canada’s digital economy: future competitiveness in AI will depend not just on talent and innovation, but on the physical infrastructure required to power it.
With CAL-3, eStruxture is betting that Calgary—and Alberta more broadly—will play a central role in that buildout.
