La Caisse has provided $240 million in senior financing for Cologix’s MTL8 colocation data centre in Montreal.

The global investment group announced the financing agreement with Cologix, a North American network-neutral interconnection and hyperscale edge data-centre company. Construction of the facility’s structure and building envelope has been completed, and the AI-ready data centre is now in service. La Caisse supplied the entire debt financing to support Cologix’s continued investment in the site.

Located in Technoparc Montréal near Montreal–Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, the MTL8 facility will deliver 21 megawatts of capacity and is powered by hydroelectricity. The site integrates with Cologix’s interconnection network across its 11 other Montreal facilities.

In 2025, the MTL8 data centre achieved LEED Gold certification, confirming its sustainability features meet high green building standards and making it one of the first facilities of its kind to earn the distinction. Cologix plans to use MTL 8 as a model for more green data centres.

“For close to a decade, we’ve invested in high-quality digital infrastructure assets that deliver long-term value, supported by strong fundamentals and growing demand for hyperscale capacity and computing power,” said Jérôme Marquis, managing director and head of private credit at La Caisse. “Our partnership with Cologix began in 2021, and since then, the company has reinforced its leadership across Canada and in Quebec. This third investment reflects our conviction in scalable digital-infrastructure platforms that enable businesses and communities to thrive.”

Scott Schneider, CFO for Montreal-based Cologix, said its partnership with La Caisse reflects his company’s continued commitment to invest in critical digital infrastructure across Canada.

“We have a strong, longstanding relationship with La Caisse, built on shared priorities around responsible growth, long-term value creation and supporting the growing needs of customers and communities, he said. “Together, this partnership positions us well to continue scaling infrastructure in Canada in a thoughtful, sustainable way as demand for cloud, AI and interconnected services continues to grow.”

The company operates 46 data centres in Canada and the U.S., including facilities in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary.
