CoreWeave becomes anchor tenant for eStruxture’s CAL-3 Alberta data center

By AI, Created 4:29 PM UTC, May 18, 2026, /AGP/ – eStruxture Data Centers has signed CoreWeave as anchor tenant for Phase 1 of CAL-3, a 90MW AI-ready facility in the Calgary region scheduled to open in late 2026. The deal underscores Alberta’s push to attract large-scale AI infrastructure and adds momentum to eStruxture’s more than C$1 billion investment in the province.

Why it matters: - CAL-3 is designed for high-density AI computing, giving Canada new infrastructure for training, inference and generative AI workloads. - The project deepens Alberta’s role in the global AI supply chain and could expand local access to advanced computing capacity. - The facility adds to more than C$1 billion eStruxture has invested in Alberta’s digital infrastructure.

What happened: - eStruxture Data Centers announced that CoreWeave signed as anchor tenant for Phase 1 of CAL-3 in the Calgary region. - CAL-3 is a 90MW, Tier III-designed facility in Rocky View County. - The site is scheduled to come online in the second half of 2026. - CoreWeave will take a portion of Phase 1 capacity as anchor tenant. - eStruxture is the largest Canadian data center platform.

The details: - CAL-3 is engineered for the power and cooling needs of modern AI workloads. - The facility is built as carrier-neutral, high-density infrastructure. - The design is intended to support GPU clusters at scale. - eStruxture says the site is suited to production-scale AI compute. - CoreWeave chose the location for its operational capabilities and Alberta’s growing profile for digital infrastructure investment. - CoreWeave is known as The Essential Cloud for AI™ and serves AI labs, startups and enterprises. - eStruxture says its nearly 1,000 customers include carriers, cloud providers, AI, GPUaaS, media, financial services and enterprise users. - eStruxture operates in Montreal, Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. - CoreWeave completed its public listing on Nasdaq in March 2025. - More information is available in CoreWeave’s announcement.

Between the lines: - The deal signals that large AI infrastructure buyers are treating Canada, and Alberta in particular, as a viable long-term deployment market. - Local officials framed the project as a boost to connectivity, power availability and high-quality jobs. - Alberta’s support for AI investment appears to be part of the region’s pitch to global cloud and infrastructure companies.

What’s next: - CAL-3 is expected to begin service in the second half of 2026. - eStruxture and CoreWeave are positioning the facility to serve customers across Canada. - The project is likely to be watched as a test case for whether Alberta can keep attracting large-scale AI infrastructure buildouts.

The bottom line: - CoreWeave’s commitment gives eStruxture a major tenant for a flagship AI-ready facility and reinforces Calgary’s bid to become a regional AI infrastructure hub.
