Uniserve Communications Corporation has provided an update on its flagship Vancouver data centre facility, marking a significant step in its strategy to become Canada's leading sovereign digital infrastructure partner for small and mid-sized enterprises. The company announced that construction of phase one is on schedule for operational status by September 2026, with BC Hydro committing to upgrade distribution infrastructure to provide up to 3MW of utility power by 2028 to support phase two expansion.
The facility is designed specifically to support high-availability cloud services, AI-ready workloads, secure data residency, and scalable managed services for Canadian SMBs. This development represents Uniserve's evolution from a traditional service provider to a vertically integrated digital infrastructure platform purpose-built for domestic businesses. According to Gautam Lohia, Chairman of Uniserve, the data centre serves as foundational infrastructure for the company's next chapter as Canadian businesses increasingly seek trusted domestic partners for their data, compute, and connectivity needs.
Kwin Grauer, Interim Chief Executive Officer of Uniserve, stated that reaching this stage validates both execution capability and strategic direction. The platform enables intelligent scaling, margin improvement over time, and delivery of higher-value services to customers seeking a single, accountable Canadian partner. The company's ambition is to be the best in Canada at serving SMBs with secure, resilient, and future-ready digital infrastructure as businesses navigate what Grauer termed "the coming agentic age."
Uniserve believes the Canadian market represents a significant and underserved opportunity as SMBs face rising complexity around cloud migration, cybersecurity, AI adoption, and regulatory compliance. By combining owned infrastructure with managed services and decades of customer relationships, the company positions itself uniquely to capture this demand. The facility is expected to support Uniserve's expanding portfolio of cloud, cybersecurity, managed services, and AI-adjacent offerings while enabling greater operating leverage, service differentiation, and cross-selling across existing customers.
Upon commissioning, the facility will materially enhance Uniserve's ability to deliver mission-critical services while maintaining sovereignty, compliance, and performance standards increasingly demanded by Canadian organizations. The company has also engaged Ace Capital Partners, a Toronto-based capital markets advisory firm, to provide strategic capital markets advisory services supporting market positioning, corporate development initiatives, and overall capital markets strategy. Further updates will be provided as the facility progresses through final commissioning and enters operational service. Learn more at https://www.uniserve.com or at https://www.sedarplus.ca.
