San Antonio’s far West Side continues to evolve as one of the city’s most active growth corridors. Now, a major technology investment is set to elevate that momentum even further. Vantage Data Centers, a Denver-based company, has announced a $276.9 million project to build a massive 432,800-square-foot data facility on Omicron Drive. 

Construction begins in October 2025, with completion scheduled for August 2027. The company is also finalizing a separate $157 million, three-story data center at 5207 Rogers Road, expected to wrap up this year. 

While these projects are primarily about technology infrastructure, they also signal a major economic boost for San Antonio’s housing, job, and real estate markets. 

Why This Matters for San Antonio 

Data centers rarely make headlines for their curb appeal—but their economic impact is powerful. These large-scale facilities generate high-paying jobs, stimulate infrastructure improvements, and attract secondary businesses that want to operate nearby. 

City officials have already noted that the West Side corridor is growing quickly, with new master-planned communities, residential subdivisions, and commercial developments in progress. Adding a tech anchor of this scale positions the area for continued long-term growth and stability.
