Cologix Moves into Calgary with Mutually Beneficial Acquisition of DataHive Data Centre
Cologix was able to expand into the vibrant Calgary data-centre market in fall 2025 after completing the acquisition of Data Hive’s DataHiveOne facility.
As a result, Cologix widened its interconnection network across Canada and expanded its data-centre real estate footprint across the country.
The carrier-neutral data centre is considered Calgary’s primary carrier hotel and a key interconnection hub in Western Canada, housing approximately 30 networks, including the region’s Internet exchange, YYCIX. The facility provides enterprises, carriers and cloud-computing providers with access to global networks and connectivity across North America.
Cologix said the acquisition has enhanced its ability to meet growing customer demand for secure, low-latency connectivity, cloud services and AI inference workloads while supporting data sovereignty requirements. At the time, the deal expanded Cologix’s Canadian footprint to 22 data centres across Calgary, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, with more than one million square feet of capacity and an ecosystem that included 330 networks, about 150 cloud providers, more than 15 public cloud onramps and four Internet exchanges.
The acquisition also lay a foundation for the company’s further expansion in Western Canada.
Meanwhile, DataHive generated a positive investment return from the deal after developing and operating DataHiveOne over the course of several years while creating an opportunity for Cologix to grow the critical infrastructure and enable it to evolve.
These are some of the reasons why the Cologix team of CEO Laura Ortman, Vice-president of Corporate Development Fred Bayles and Associate General Counsel Jared Knight, along with DataHive CEO and Founder Marjorie Zingle, have been honoured with a Connect Canadian Transactions of the Year Award for completing the DataHiveOne deal. The awards highlight deals and closings impacting Canada’s commercial real estate sector.
