TOR1 occupies 25,000 square feet inside 151 Front Street West, the carrier hotel at the centre of Canadian internet traffic and the most densely connected address in the country. The Toronto Internet Exchange sits on site alongside MegaIX Toronto and CANIX Toronto, putting three exchanges and more than 150 networks inside one meet-me room. The cooling is worth the line item on its own: a 3,000-ton N+1 chilled-water plant fed by Enwave Deep Lake Water Cooling, which draws cold water from Lake Ontario instead of running mechanical chillers against a summer load. Power is customer-selectable between N and 2N UPS behind N+1 generators, supporting 150 watts per square foot and up to 15 kW per cabinet in redundant configuration. Diverse dark fiber runs from here to TOR2 at 905 King Street West, and Metro Connect extends the same reach to the Markham campus. For a Toronto network node, this is the address.
