Allied has entered into an agreement with Amazon Web Services Canada, Inc. (AWS) that will make AWS Direct Connect available at the Facility. Commencing May 31, 2017, the Facility will serve as an AWS Direct Connect location in the Greater Toronto Area.

Allied expects a rise to recurring ancillary rental revenue that will be phased in over a six-to-24-month period, in part due to the availability of AWS Direct Connect at the Facility. AWS Direct Connect will utilize the existing infrastructure at the Facility without occupying any of the unleased GLA or requiring additional capital expenditure by Allied. While Allied expects no change to its short-term outlook for 2017, it expects to accelerate the lease-up of the remaining space at the Facility by using AWS Direct Connect, which will become a significant portion of the recurring ancillary rental revenue that Allied projected would be generated by the Facility.
