Hive's Buzz HPC subsidiary has announced plans for a 320-megawatt AI data center campus in Toronto, Canada, marking one of the largest announced compute infrastructure projects in the country. The facility is intended to serve high-performance computing and AI training workloads. Toronto's position as a major financial and technology hub makes it an increasingly competitive site for hyperscale and AI-oriented builds.

Why this matters

A 320MW campus represents a substantial commitment to Canadian AI infrastructure at a time when U.S. sites face power constraints, regulatory scrutiny, and community opposition, suggesting operators are actively diversifying their geographic footprint. The announcement could accelerate competition among Canadian provinces for large-scale data center investment.
