Strategic investment will meet critical customer demand for AI capacity and marks Vantage’s eighth market in the company’s rapidly growing North American hyperscale portfolio

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vantage Data Centers, a leading global provider of hyperscale data center campuses, today announced its entry into the Nevada market with a 224MW campus (NV1) in Storey County just outside of Reno. Nearly $3 billion will be invested in the project, with more than 1,200 individuals employed across the construction and ongoing operations of the campus. Entry into Vantage’s eighth North American market signals the company’s pursuit of strategic opportunities outside of Tier I locations as it joins major technology juggernauts Google, Apple and Microsoft in the growing region.

Sited on nearly 137 acres, the campus will include four multi-story data centers totaling more than one million square feet. The first two buildings are fully leased with the first building scheduled to open in the second quarter of 2026.

Designed to meet the unique needs of AI deployments, NV1 will support densities ranging from 360W to more than 720W per square foot. The campus will have the flexibility to support both traditional air-cooled compute loads as well as next generation GPU loads using liquid cooling. It will feature N+1 electrical redundancy and N+2 mechanical redundancy for enhanced reliability.

NV1 will be built in alignment with Vantage’s “sustainable by design” blueprint and will achieve an industry-leading low water usage effectiveness (WUE) due to a closed-loop chiller system that minimizes the need for large volumes of water for cooling. The campus is expected to achieve LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification.

“As the global race for AI dominance continues, Vantage is leading the delivery of digital infrastructure to support the innovation and applications of the world’s largest technology enterprises,” said Dana Adams, president, North America at Vantage Data Centers. “The scale and pace at which our customers need business-critical capacity is at an all-time high. Nevada provided us a strategic opportunity to accelerate time-to-market for these customers while supporting the local economy through the creation of long-term jobs and tax revenue. The warm welcome we’ve received from the state is overwhelming, and we look forward to advancing the region’s growing digital hub together.”

“We’re proud to welcome Vantage Data Centers to the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center and Storey County,” said Austin Osborne, Storey County manager. “Their arrival marks another important milestone in the growth of our region’s digital infrastructure, bringing both significant economic development and high-quality jobs to our community. This project further solidifies Storey County’s role as a key hub for forward-thinking industries, and we look forward to the long-term opportunities and partnerships it will create.”

Committed to being a good neighbor, Vantage has established a partnership with the Economic Development Authority of Western Nevada (EDAWN) to support workforce development and community engagement initiatives in the area.
