Where it stands

WhiteFiber had paused development at NTL2 while it evaluated the best use of the site. On its Q2 2026 call (August 14, 2026) it said it had decided to move forward with about 5 MW of gross capacity, targeted for completion around year-end 2026. It is still choosing between traditional colocation and a vertically integrated colocation-plus-cloud deployment, and no passage confirms that physical construction has started.

Site intelligence

Analytical estimate. Each site below is located from public records (filings, releases, news, OpenStreetMap) and checked against free satellite imagery; "How we located this site" lists every step and the score it earned. The conclusion is computed from night-time lights, surface heat and year-over-year change, with the dates it rests on. These are hypotheses under active tracking, not legal parcels or an official endorsement.

45.4594, -73.8321
Approximate address 7300 Route Transcanadienne, Pointe-Claire, QC H9R 1C7, Canada Reverse-geocoded from the candidate centroid; not a permit-confirmed parcel address.
Conclusion so far Operating: the site is lit at night like a running facility. · confidence 60%
Running: night-time lights at the site ran 2.49x the surrounding area (5 of 6 clear nights, 2026-07-28 to 2026-09-19); surface temperature +1.2 K against its surroundings (19 pass(es), 2026-06-29 to 2026-10-18). Based on 49 clear observation(s) from 2026-06-21 to 2026-10-19.
What would change this: Lights going dark over several clear nights.

Satellite imagery on this page is drawn from the Google Earth satellite basemap, ESA Sentinel-2 multispectral (10 m, with per-date cloud masks), NASA / USGS Landsat 8/9 (30 m, plus surface temperature), ESA Sentinel-1 radar (all-weather, night), NASA ECOSTRESS thermal (~70 m), and NASA Black Marble night lights (500 m, daily). Each image is dated, labelled by source and pixel resolution, and downloadable at its native size; cloudy dates are kept and marked rather than hidden. New scenes are pulled daily as each provider publishes them.
