Vantage Data Centers will invest over $25 billion to build an AI park in Texas

Vantage Data Centers, a U.S. hyperscale data center provider, announced on Tuesday that it will invest over $25 billion to develop a data center campus named "Frontier" in Shackelford County, Texas. The campus is planned to accommodate 10 data centers with a total capacity of 1.4 gigawatts, and the construction and operational phases are expected to employ over 5,000 staff. It is reported that construction has already begun, with the first building expected to be delivered in the second half of 2026. The surge in demand for artificial intelligence infrastructure is driving the development of hyperscale data center projects. Chatbots like ChatGPT from OpenAI and Gemini from Google require massive computing power, which is fueling the demand for dedicated data centers. These facilities are costly to build because they require cutting-edge chips, servers, ample power, and cooling solutions. Companies including Google, Microsoft, and Meta Platforms are investing billions of dollars to expand and build new data center facilities
