A $15 million RV park called the Cottages at the Frontier is set to break ground in Abilene, Texas this month. The 109-acre development will create 945 RV spaces to exclusively serve workers at the nearby $25 billion Vantage Data Center Frontier Campus, which is expected to employ over 5,000 people. The project is one of two large-scale RV parks being built in the area to accommodate the influx of data center workers.
Why it matters
The rapid development of these RV parks highlights the significant impact the data center boom is having on the local Abilene community. While the projects will provide housing for thousands of workers, some residents have voiced concerns about the potential downsides, including increased traffic, declining home values, and the overall industrialization of the area.
The details
The Cottages at the Frontier development will feature amenities like workout facilities, a dog park, pickleball court, sand volleyball court, barbecue pavilions, and ample green space. The ground lease for the site is for a maximum of 20 years. Another nearby RV park, the Elmdale RV Park, is also being built to cater to data center workers and will have space for about 2,300 RVs, making it one of the largest in Texas history.
- The Cottages at the Frontier project is expected to break ground this month (March 2026).
- Construction on the Cottages at the Frontier is anticipated to last through August 2026.
