Colovore has taken a formal step toward building out its presence in North Texas, submitting an application to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for a data center project in Fort Worth carrying an estimated construction cost of USD 430 million. The filing, made with the state licensing agency, gives the most detailed public accounting yet of a facility the company has previously referenced only in broad terms on its website.

A detailed look at what the application discloses

The filing identifies the project as Colovore Alliance, planned as a single-story data center on vacant land at 14700 Heritage Parkway in Denton County.

According to the application, the building will encompass 156,500 square feet, or roughly 14,540 square meters. Construction costs are estimated at USD 430 million.

The schedule set out in the filing calls for construction to begin in December 2026 and run through December 2028.

The landowner named in the application is AIL Investment LP, which the filing describes as a likely affiliate of Hillwood Properties. Until now, the Fort Worth project had been known primarily through Colovore's own website, which referenced a planned facility in the city with 32 MW of capacity.

The TDLR application adds specifics that had not previously been public, including the building's footprint, its cost estimate, and its construction window.

How the Fort Worth site fits into the company's Dallas-Fort Worth plans

The Fort Worth project is not Colovore's first detailed proposal in the Dallas-Fort Worth market. The company, which specializes in liquid-cooled data center development, has outlined two facilities in the area on its website.

The first, designated DFW01, is planned for Mesquite and is slated to deliver 44.8MW of capacity.

The second, DFW02, is earmarked for Fort Worth with 32MW of capacity. Based on the details in the licensing application, the Colovore Alliance project appears to correspond to the Fort Worth site referenced as DFW02 in the company's published plans.

Once operational, the Fort Worth facility would see Colovore operating two sites in the broader Dallas-Fort Worth market, alongside its planned Mesquite facility. The company has additionally signaled plans for a data center in the Hutto area of Austin, extending its Texas footprint beyond North Texas.

From a Santa Clara pioneer to a multi-state builder

Colovore's Texas ambitions represent a notable scaling-up for a company that began with a much narrower focus.

Founded in 2013, the company built an early niche around liquid-cooled racks capable of supporting power densities of up to 35kW per rack, a figure considered high at the time. The company opened its original facility, a single-story, 24,000-square-foot building, in Santa Clara, California in 2014.

A second Santa Clara facility followed nearby in 2024. The company's trajectory changed materially in 2024, when it was acquired by the investment firm King Street.

Following the acquisition, Colovore announced plans to expand into Nevada and Illinois.

Beyond those states, further projects are reportedly planned around Virginia, Texas, New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, California, and Washington. The Texas expansion, with sites contemplated in Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin, sits within this broader multistate growth strategy.

Liquid cooling as the common thread

The company's positioning as a liquid-cooled data center developer has been consistent throughout its history. Its original Santa Clara operation was built around the high-density, liquid-cooled rack infrastructure that defined its early market niche, supporting racks drawing as much as 35kW, a density that stood out when the company launched more than a decade ago.

That specialization has carried through to the company's current expansion phase.

The Fort Worth filing describes Colovore as a liquid-cooled data center developer, and the company's published plans for the Dallas-Fort Worth market, including the Mesquite and Fort Worth sites, are framed within that same approach.

Texas and the broader market context

The Fort Worth filing lands amid sustained data center development momentum in Texas and in the Dallas-Fort Worth market specifically. Colovore's application adds another project to a market where the company will ultimately operate alongside its own planned Mesquite facility, giving it two locations in the same metropolitan region.

The filing itself serves a practical function for observers of the market: it is the most detailed public look yet at the Fort Worth project, laying out the facility's size at 156,500 square feet, its estimated USD 430 million construction cost, and a construction timeline stretching from December 2026 to December 2028. With the application now on file with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the Colovore Alliance project moves from the company's website-level planning disclosures into the formal regulatory process, with the land at 14700 Heritage Parkway in Denton County identified and the landowner, AIL Investment LP, described as a likely affiliate of Hillwood Properties.

For Colovore, the Fort Worth filing is one more marker in an expansion that began in earnest after the King Street acquisition in 2024, which set the company on a path from its original two-facility base in Santa Clara toward announced entries in Nevada and Illinois and reported projects across a list of states that now includes Texas, Virginia, New Jersey, Georgia, California, and Washington.
