$430M Colovore data center planned in North Fort Worth's AllianceTexas corridor. Home " Buildings " Data center " $430M Colovore data center planned in North Fort Worth's AllianceTexas corridor. Published on Sep 24, 2026 Discover more Business & Industrial Construction Sector Analysis Energy & Utilities $430 million data center to rise in north Fort Worth, adding to technology growth along the AllianceTexas corridor. Called Colovore Alliance, the project will be located at 14700 Heritage Parkway. Construction records for the state of Texas show a one-story, 156,500 square foot building with four data halls and 32 megawatts of power capacity. Construction is anticipated to start in December 2026 and last for two years, until December 2028. A new AI-focused facility. Colovore Alliance is meant to be a high-density computing facility, housing artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data storage and other digital operations. It will feature liquid cooling technology that is able to cool down high-performance servers and provide for higher computing density than air-cooled facilities. The type of cooling will determine the water requirements of the facility. AllianceTexas location. Discover more Geographic Reference Construction constructing The data center will be built at AllianceTexas, a major mixed-use development in North Texas with various industrial, logistics, aviation and technology operations. Its proximity to Interstate 35W, fiber networks, power and Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport have made it appealing for large-scale businesses. Colovore Alliance will provide an opportunity to build high-performance computing facility in the region with industrial and logistics operations. The planned construction would include: * The main data-center building. * Four server halls. * Electrical systems and utility connections. * Cooling equipment. * Backup power infrastructure. * Security systems. * Communications and fiber connections. * Site work, access roads and related improvements. The construction schedule comes from a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing. As with other large developments, the timeline could change as the project moves through permits, engineering, utility coordination and construction. The actual impact of the project on the community and economy will depend on its actual investment, workforce, taxation agreements and future expansions. Power and water consumption. The facility with approximately 32 MW capacity will need a constant electricity supply to power servers, cooling, networking, security systems and other building facilities. There may be a need for additional power infrastructure, depending on final design and utility plans. Power needs have become one of the key factors for the region, especially when large data centers and industrial projects try to connect to the grid. Water consumption will depend on the cooling and heat rejection systems used in the project. Even though liquid cooling can lower the water usage in some facilities, it does not guarantee reduced water usage in all cases. This becomes increasingly important in the North Texas region with continued population and industrial growth and increased need for water supplies. Community and city considerations. Colovore Alliance is one of the projects that the City of Fort Worth is evaluating along with data centers as a whole and their effect on infrastructure and the surrounding community. While the AllianceTexas is predominantly industrial and commercial, the construction may increase truck traffic and activity at the Heritage Parkway. Nearby communities may look into noise produced by cooling and generator equipment, aesthetics and resource needs of the facility. A growing North Texas industry. Colovore Alliance is a part of the overall expansion of the data center infrastructure in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Needs for AI, cloud computing, web services, fintech and other digital services have resulted in investments in new high-density facilities. North Texas provides land, transportation networks, fiber network, electricity and large regional economy for developers. This has brought about new investments while raising questions about power, water and infrastructure needs of large data centers. Additionally, the Colovore Alliance project is part of a wider U.S. data-center expansion that is bringing new investment while raising questions about power, water and infrastructure. A similar debate is unfolding in Ohio, where a $2.9 billion data-center campus planned in Canton is drawing attention to potential jobs and investment alongside community concerns over its impact on local resources and infrastructure. What's next? The project is currently under development with construction starting in December 2026. Additional information is expected during the process of permitting, construction, utilities coordination and company's announcements. Given the current schedule, Colovore Alliance will be complete around December 2028, resulting in 156,500 square foot, four-hall facility with approximately 32 MW of planned capacity at 14700 Heritage Parkway.
