Vantage Data Centers announced its largest investment to date—more than $25 billion—to build a 1.4GW mega-scale data center campus in Shackelford County, Texas. Named “Frontier,” the development will span 1,200 acres and serve as the company’s largest campus worldwide, with a design capacity to power the next generation of artificial intelligence infrastructure. 

The Frontier campus will include 10 state-of-the-art data centers totaling 3.7 million square feet, capable of hosting ultra high-density racks exceeding 250kW. Construction is already underway, with the first facility scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2026. Vantage expects the project to support more than 5,000 jobs across both construction and long-term operations. 

“Texas has become a critical and strategic market for AI providers,” said Dana Adams, president of North America at Vantage Data Centers. “The launch of our Frontier campus with 1.4GW of GPU compute capacity marks a watershed moment for Vantage as we deliver on our promise to meet the unprecedented requirements of our customers.” 

The investment also drew praise from state leadership. Governor Greg Abbott highlighted the economic and technological significance of the project, noting, “Everything is bigger in Texas, and that includes innovation and technology. Vantage Data Centers’ $25 billion investment will help create thousands of good-paying jobs for Texans and bring revenue to the local and state economies.”
