Canadian developer Spur Innovation is eyeing a 25-acre land parcel in Fergus, Ontario, for the construction of a data center.The proposal calls for construction of a 50-75MW data center at 865 Gartshore Street, as well as a vertical farm and a greenhouse complex, according to an AI-generated factsheet attached to a report by the Wellington Advertiser about the planned development.According to the factsheet, the data center would be built in three phases, with the first taking up to three years and offering between 25-35MW of capacity. The second would take between three to five years and offer 50-75MW, and the third would see the facility “expand to adjacent land for 150-300MW,” taking more than five years.The factsheet was taken from a website about the planned development that has since been taken down.The parcel is owned by a corporation that lists Spur Innovation founder Krishan Judge as its director.A spokesperson for Centre Wellington told the Wellington Advertiser that the township had yet to receive an application from Spur.The company appears to be positioning itself as a data center operator, compute provider, AI investor, and AI course provider.Spur’s main product is its ‘Venture Studio,’ an AI startup accelerator program that markets itself towards founders “working in AI, advanced computing, quantum, robotics, deep tech, and AI-enabled education.”The program takes place at Spur’s only operational data center in Waterloo. Formerly the headquarters of BlackBerry, Spur says that it has a 20MW, 37.6-acre operational data center, as well as 700,000 sq ft (65,032 sqm) of campus space.
