150 West Georgia Street data centre site, downtown Vancouver

What the public record shows

An entitled site with a reported power allocation, no disclosed megawatts, and three organisations holding different kinds of control.

Allied Properties REIT's filed Q2 2026 quarterly report states that entitlement and power-allocation for a large-scale AI data centre are in place at 150 West Georgia and that the property is marketed for development and operation by others. Allied is the secured lender under a facility of up to $212 million to Westbank for the land and pre-development costs, held by a first mortgage plus a pledge of shares in a subsidiary partially owned by Westbank. TELUS separately names 150 West Georgia as one of three B.C. facilities in its own cluster announcement and says it will come online in 2029.

What is missing

  • No megawatt figure, utility instrument or counterparty is disclosed for the reported power allocation, so requested, allocated, contracted and connected capacity all remain unrecorded.
  • The underlying City of Vancouver entitlement instrument, its conditions and its expiry were not retrieved.
  • The district-energy heat claim carries no quantity, boundary, period or offtake agreement.

Open questions

  • Who will own and operate the facility is unresolved on the public record: the lender states the property is marketed for development and operation by others, while the proponent release names TELUS as the operator of a cluster including this site.

Electricity and grid

Requested, allocated, contracted and connected MW are four different fields. This record shows each one separately with its own state and evidence.

  • Requested MW

    Committed / expectedNot publicly disclosed

    Not publicly disclosed

    Boundary and method
    Allied's filed Q2 2026 quarterly report (PC-SRC-104) states that entitlement and power-allocation for a large-scale AI data centre are in place at this site. It discloses no megawatt figure, no utility instrument and no counterparty, so no value is recorded.

  • Connected MW

    Actual / deliveredNot applicable

    Not applicable

    Boundary and method
    The facility is not built (PC-SRC-104), so there is no connected load. A reported allocation is not a connection.

Water, cooling, heat and backup generation

PUE and WUE only appear with their boundary, period, method context and assurance status. Heat that exists is not heat that is reused.

  • Heat reuse committed

    Committed / expectedNot publicly disclosed

    Not publicly disclosed

    Measurement boundary
    No boundary published.
    Method and climate/load context
    TELUS states the Vancouver facilities are designed to integrate into Creative Energy's downtown district energy system and that recycled waste heat will heat more than 150,000 homes in metro Vancouver (PC-SRC-102). No megawatt-hour quantity, boundary, period, offtake agreement or delivered figure is published. A homes-equivalent comparison is not a delivered energy quantity.

  • Annual consumption

    Committed / expectedNot publicly disclosed

    Not publicly disclosed

    Measurement boundary
    No boundary published.
    Method and climate/load context
    TELUS states water consumption will be 90 percent lower than traditional data centres, with plans to incorporate recycled water from BC Place (PC-SRC-102). A percentage reduction against an unnamed baseline is not a consumption value, so no number is recorded.
    Assurance status
    not-reviewed
    Water source / cooling mode
    closed-loop liquid cooling, per the proponent release

Environmental and physical impacts

Baseline, forecast and actual values stay separate, with permits and conditions cited where they exist.

    Employment, procurement and community commitments

    Committed numbers and delivered numbers are different claims. Each row is labelled as one or the other.

      Unit and definition
      TELUS states the cluster will inject $9 billion into the Canadian economy (PC-SRC-102). No method, period, geography or definition is published, and the figure covers the whole cluster rather than this site, so no value is recorded.

    This entire table is Nation-controlled. Nothing from it serializes to the public projection, this page, exports or metadata.

    Collection, interpretation, use, retention and publication of this field family are governed by the relevant Nation or authorized body. The registry publishes it only where disclosure is authorized, and no such authorization exists for any current record.
