Vantage Data Centers has purchased two clusters of vacant land totaling 89 acres on San Antonio’s far West Side. The region is a data center hotbed, with the West Side being home to at least 30 campuses and Microsoft having three data centers with over 1 million square feet of space across Rogers Road from the 31-acre site. This area has become a hub for such activity due to its reliable electrical supply, which comes from two transmission lines carrying power from different substations.

This month, Vantage revealed plans for their first Texas location – a 1.7 million-square-foot campus in the Atlanta area – adding to their 11 North American locations (ranging from Silicon Valley to Phoenix), as well as 11 in Europe, six in Asia, one South Africa and one Australia; these projects often cost around $1 billion each when built out fully.
