Data center developer Colovore filed plans with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) for a $430 million, 156,500 sq ft (14,540 sqm) facility in Fort Worth, with construction scheduled from December 2026 through December 2028.

The project, branded Colovore Alliance, will occupy vacant land at 14700 Heritage Parkway in Denton County. TDLR's filing lists AIL Investment LP as the landowner, a likely affiliate of Hillwood Properties, one of North America's largest private real-estate developers and a long-time landowner across North Texas.

What does the filing cover?

The TDLR envelope totals $430 million across roughly 24 months of construction. At 156,500 sq ft, the Fort Worth build runs more than six times the footprint of Colovore's original 24,000 sq ft (2,230 sqm) Santa Clara facility, which opened in 2014.

The Fort Worth project follows the single-story template the earlier builds established, scaled up to a regional-campus footprint.

How does Fort Worth relate to other Texas sites?

Colovore has disclosed two additional Dallas-area projects on its website. DFW01, a 44.8MW facility, will sit in Mesquite. DFW02, with 32MW of capacity, will go in Fort Worth. The Colovore Alliance filing does not specify IT load, though the 156,500 sq ft envelope suggests a multi-megawatt deployment once fitted out.

A fourth Texas site is in motion around Hutto, near Austin. Public filings on the Hutto project have not yet appeared, and details on capacity and timeline remain undisclosed.

What is Colovore's track record?

Colovore launched in 2013, targeting high-density workloads at a time when most operators standardised around 5-10kW per rack. The company's Santa Clara campus hosted its first build in 2014 and added a second nearby facility in 2024. Together, the two California sites set the template for Colovore's single-story, liquid-cooled design.

The differentiator has been liquid cooling. Colovore's racks support up to 35kW per cabinet, a level the company positioned as high density when it opened and one that has since become more common across hyperscale and colocation deployments. The company carved out an early niche in HPC, AI training, and trading workloads that required dense compute.

Who owns the business?

Investment firm King Street acquired Colovore in 2024. Following the deal, Colovore announced expansion into Nevada and Illinois, joining its existing California footprint. The acquisition also shifted the company's growth model from a single-region operator to a multi-state developer.

Where else is the pipeline headed?

Beyond the four announced Texas sites, Colovore has signalled further projects in Virginia, New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, California, and Washington. The pipeline spans nine US states, though most have not yet reached the public-filing stage.

What does the move signal for Dallas-Fort Worth?

DFW has become one of the fastest-growing secondary data center markets in the US, drawing both hyperscalers and specialty operators with cheap land, ample power, and tax incentives. Colovore's liquid-cooling heritage gives it a distinctive profile in a market dominated by air-cooled, multi-tenant wholesale builds.

For Colovore, the Fort Worth filing marks the first concrete step in the post-King Street Texas rollout, with a December 2026 groundbreaking targeted and operations expected to begin by the end of 2028.
