What remains unresolved.
Resolve the Ontario conversion’s conflicting municipal label
Plan Group labels its Toronto Star conversion Markham. EllisDon describes TOR1 as a newspaper conversion, while Digital Realty places TOR1 in Vaughan. The selected historical project remains a separate case identifier until that mismatch is resolved.
Next research step: Obtain the original project address, permit or contractor clarification before merging with a current TOR1 facility record. Country-level location is retained; no exact address is assigned.
Sources in this record.
- Digital Realty Data Centre: Toronto Star conversionPlan Group · Publication date not isolated · source access 2026-09-28
Historical electrical and technology scope, completed 2018; names EllisDon/Hitt as client. The page labels the location Markham; this conflicts with a possible TOR1 identification and is retained as an unresolved location/identifier gap.
- Digital Realty TOR1: newspaper-plant conversionEllisDon · Publication date not isolated · source access 2026-09-28
Comparison evidence for the unresolved project-identity gap. It names TOR1 and a former newspaper facility, but is not used to assert that Plan Group's differently located record is definitively the same site.
- TOR1 Data Center: 1 Century Place, VaughanDigital Realty · Publication date not isolated · source access 2026-09-28
Current operator directory identifies TOR1 in Vaughan. A current site listing does not resolve the conflicting Markham label in the selected contractor case.
