Vancouver, B.C. - Recently, Harbour Centre, a cornerstone of Western Canada's digital landscape, proudly announced the unveiling of Meet-Me-Room 5 (MMR5), the first step towards a state-of-the-art, digital-first complex that integrates both Harbour Centre and the Spencer Building.
At a time when demand for robust and expanded connectivity capacity is growing in Vancouver, Harbour Centre's new MMR5 will meet the growing interconnection needs of carriers, cloud providers, network operators and other service providers, both local and international. It will be the conduit between Harbour Centre's longstanding legacy as Vancouver's primary interconnection point and the new focal point for future growth of the city's vital digital infrastructure - the Spencer Building. The expanded interconnection capacity and strategic footprint opportunities created by MMR5 reinvigorate Vancouver's position as an attractive destination for those seeking a launch pad for success in the region's ever-expanding digital arena.
The new, central MMR5 seamlessly connects to the existing four MMRs at Harbour Centre, as well as directly to the Spencer Building Carrier Hotel. MMR5 also provides additional colocation space with secure access to up to 28 cabinets and cabinet power density of 10kW+. Most importantly, Harbour Centre is making it easy and affordable for service providers to establish their footprint at MMR5. Through December 31, 2024, all new cross connects in MMR5 will be discounted to $75 per cross connect per month. In addition, existing tenants can benefit from personalized transition plans that allow them to install their equipment in MMR5's active and passive spaces at minimal cost.
"The unveiling of MMR5 is a pivotal moment as it represents our firm commitment to transforming Vancouver's digital landscape for a bright future," commented Scott Despot, Director of Business Development and Sales at Spencer Building Carrier Hotel. "We're not just introducing a new state-of-the-art connectivity hub. In many ways, we're laying the groundwork for a dynamic, digital-first future for the entire region. On a personal level, this move also marks a new chapter for us, both with our valued customers and with those who see MMR5 as a launching pad for future growth in Western Canada and beyond.

As the first step in Vancouver's next wave of innovation, MMR5 positions Harbour Centre and Spencer Building at the forefront of the region's digital evolution, offering the telecommunications and service provider sectors unparalleled growth opportunities and a gateway to a connected, thriving future.
Together, Harbour Centre and the Spencer Building Carrier Hotel are meeting the demand for expanded connectivity and data center capacity in Western Canada. Strategically positioned as the nexus between Harbour Centre's established legacy and Spencer Building's cutting-edge potential in the region's future digital growth, MMR5 serves as the first step in a dynamic, digital-first complex.
