Energy generation, secure data halls, agritech and community benefit — planned together, on one site, from day one.
Campus at full build · master-plan renderMilestone retrospective. This entry was written and published in September 2026 as part of the campus timeline; the date shown is the period it describes, not a release date.
Master planning for the Blindman lands began in 2021. Rather than a single building, the plan treats the site as an integrated campus: on-site power generation, precast compute buildings, an agritech zone fed by waste heat, and a landscaped campus entrance — on titled industrial land, master-planned for growth.
The planning principle is phasing. Capacity is added in 10 MW steps, and each step is a complete piece of infrastructure — land, on-site power and a data hall shell — that earns its own permits, studies and public process before it is built. Nothing is assumed for the phase after.
The first 10 MW is under construction; the first phase is planned in the 10–30 MW range; anything beyond is a master-plan objective, not a promise.
Alongside the site plan, the team studied best practice in high-density compute campuses — power architecture, liquid cooling, acoustics and community integration — to set the standard the campus would be held to.
AHI — AI Hub of Innovation is developed by Havenz Smart Communities (Lead Developer) in partnership with Turning Stone Developments (investment partner); both are general partners of AHI. Statements about future capacity, dates and milestones are forward-looking and subject to approvals, capital and change; nothing in this article constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy securities. Growth beyond the first phase is a master-plan objective subject to its own permits and studies. Third-party names describe roles and imply no endorsement. See Important information.

Havenz Smart Communities, the developer, and Turning Stone Developments, a Métis-owned company, are general partners of AHI — one flagship, one standard.
