First of three buildings due live this year
Vantage Data Centers has topped out the second building at its campus outside Columbus, Ohio.
“Our OH1 campus in New Albany, Ohio, reached another milestone! This week we celebrated the topping-out of OH12, the second facility on this growing campus,” the company said on LinkedIn. The celebration included a pig roast.
Situated on 70 acres in Licking County, OH1 will provide a total of 192MW of IT capacity across more than 1.5 million square feet (139,355 sqm). The company said more than $2 billion will be invested in the project, with the first of three buildings slated to open in late 2025.
News that Vantage was expanding into New Albany surfaced in June. The facility is located at 3475 Horizon Ct. inside Lincoln Property Co.’s Silicon Heartland Innovation Park.
Vantage broke ground on the first building in October 2024.
The company may be seeking to develop a second campus outside Columbus in Millersport, located some 28 miles west of Columbus and southwest of the area’s main data center hub of New Albany.
DigitalBridge-owned Vantage operates or is developing data centers across the US, including in Ohio, Georgia, Texas, California, Virginia, Arizona, Indiana, Nevada, Wisconsin, and Washington.
Columbus is quickly becoming a major data center hotspot. Operators in and around the area – with many largely clustered in New Albany – include EdgeConneX, Microsoft, Google, Amazon, Meta, Edged, CyrusOne, QTS, Stack, and others.
