The Plan

Site and Context

Strategic Location: The project area encompasses 479 acres (194 hectares) of land in Rocky View County, situated South of Township Road 232, 1.61 km (1.00 mile) west of Highway 797 and 3.22 km (2.00 miles) east of Highway 791.
Proximity to Power: The site was specifically chosen for its immediate proximity to existing 240 kV and 500 kV transmission lines and substations, which are essential for powering a hyperscale facility.
Regional Integration: The plan ensures the Hub is integrated into the local landscape near the Hamlet of Langdon while maintaining appropriate buffers from surrounding land uses.

Purposeful Redesignation: This plan facilitates the transition of the project lands from agricultural use to the Rocky View County specialized Special-Data Centre (S-DAT) designation.
Built Form: The vision supports the development of three high-tech industrial buildings designed for data storage and processing.
Economic Optimization: By shifting to S-DAT, the land contributes significantly more to the municipal tax base while requiring minimal County-provided services.

Looped Cooling Systems: To protect regional water resources, the project utilizes closed-loop cooling systems and water intake halls designed for efficiency.
On-Site Management: The plan incorporates on-site stormwater retention to ensure post-development runoff is managed safely and sustainably within the property boundaries.
Proactive Mitigation: Environmental screening of the Site has been conducted to ensure that site-specific mitigation measures protect local ecology for the duration of the development.
