Toronto colocation questions
There is no recent published asking-rent benchmark for Toronto, so price comes from the bids. Retail full racks generally run $900 to $2,000 per month (Inflect, 2026-04-01).
The main interconnection buildings are 151 Front Street West (151 Front Street West, Toronto, ON M5J 2N1), 905 King Street West (905 King Street West, Toronto, ON), Equinix TR2 (45 Parliament Street, Toronto, ON M5A 0G7). Buildings with more networks on site mean shorter, cheaper cross-connects to the carriers and clouds you need.
The industrial electricity average is 12.80 CAD cents/kWh (Toronto large power, excl. tax). Facilities that bill power separately pass this through with their PUE on top, so ask each bidder for its billed PUE and power rate.
Providers bid blind: they see the technical spec only, never your name, email, phone or company, and never a file you upload. We introduce you only to the provider you pick. We ask at least three facilities to price your power, space and interconnection spec, put every quote on one 36-month landed cost, and reply within one business day.
