// PowerSite Data Center Group — Development Advisory & Delivery
From site selection through commissioning — PowerSite Data Center Group delivers full-cycle data center development advisory and turnkey construction capability, including modular and prefabricated deployment for rapid market entry.
Developing a data center requires the intersection of commercial real estate expertise, engineering knowledge, capital markets sophistication, and construction management capability. PowerSite Data Center Group brings all four disciplines to a single engagement — eliminating the friction of coordinating between siloed advisors.
Through our exclusive development partnership, we deliver turnkey data center construction programs covering everything from site acquisition and permitting through structural build, MEP systems, power infrastructure, commissioning, and acceptance testing. Our modular deployment track can compress traditional 24-month timelines to 6 months for qualified sites.
Our development partner brings a track record of delivering critical infrastructure across Canada and the United States, with specific expertise in high-density AI and HPC facilities, modular prefabricated builds, and campus-scale hyperscale programs.
Traditional data center construction takes 18–36 months. Our modular deployment program uses factory-built, prefabricated units shipped to site and commissioned in as few as 6–12 months — without sacrificing reliability, density, or long-term scalability.
Factory-built modules ship to site and deploy rapidly — compressing traditional 24-month programs by 50% or more.
Scalable modular architecture allows right-sized initial deployment with phased expansion as demand grows.
99.982% availability target with N+1 power and cooling redundancy built into every module.
Optimised cooling architecture and cold climate free-air integration achieve industry-leading efficiency ratios.
High-density rack configurations up to 30kW+ per rack, with liquid cooling integration for GPU clusters.
Site prep, foundation, module installation, MEP fit-out, commissioning, and acceptance testing — all included.
AI training and HPC workloads impose fundamentally different infrastructure requirements than traditional enterprise colocation. Power density per rack can exceed 30–100kW, liquid cooling is increasingly mandatory, and power delivery architecture must accommodate direct GPU load profiles that spike unpredictably. We design and build for these requirements from day one.
Canada's cold climate advantage is particularly valuable for AI data centers — free-air economization dramatically reduces cooling costs on the high-wattage loads that GPU clusters generate year-round. Alberta's deregulated power market also allows direct power purchase agreements at rates competitive with any North American market.
Abundant hydroelectric and nuclear baseload power, cold climate free-air cooling, competitive land costs, data sovereignty compliance, and proximity to major US markets via low-latency fibre routes — Canada is the logical choice for AI infrastructure investment.
Our project management practice oversees the full development program — from pre-development planning through commissioning and handover. We act as owner's representative, coordinating between the development partner, utilities, engineers, municipalities, and capital providers to keep programs on schedule and on budget.
Site acquisition, feasibility, zoning, utility coordination, JV structuring, and capital raise.
Architectural design, MEP engineering, structural design, power distribution, and commissioning planning.
Development permit applications, utility agreements, environmental assessments, and construction approvals.
Site preparation, foundation, steel erection, module installation, and MEP systems installation.
Systems integration testing, power-on sequence, load testing, acceptance testing, and documentation.
Operations handover, tenant walk-through, warranty activation, and ongoing PM support.
