DTZ has announced that the development partnership of Urbacon Data Center Solutions Group and FTQ has revised design and construction plans for the joint venture’s Montreal Central Business District (CBD) project, the city’s only standalone, purpose-built data center.

The revisions, which involve a second location for the property’s generators, place the project ahead of schedule and on pace for tenant fit up in the fourth quarter — vs. a previously announced completion date of second-quarter 2016. The project team also has negotiated additional capacity from Hydro-Quebec to provide a total of 20 MVA of renewable energy to the site. DTZ’s Global Data Center Solutions Group and a team of Canadian market experts in Montreal and Toronto have been retained as the exclusive broker to represent Urbacon in the leasing process.
