Colovore Alliance: A $430 Million AI Data Center
Planned in Fort Worth's Alliance Corridor

A $430 million AI data center is proposed for the Denton County portion of Fort Worth's Alliance corridor. Colovore, a Santa Clara, California-based data center firm, filed the project, named Colovore Alliance in the filing, with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation on September 22, 2026, for a one-story, 156,500-square-foot facility with four data halls at 14700 Heritage Parkway, west of I-35W. The project is announced and planned, not approved or under construction, and its timeline depends on utility, grid, and state permitting steps that are themselves in flux. I am Theresa De La Rosa, a Texas Real Estate Broker and REALTOR® at Covenant Heritage Realty, and I explain what this project is, what its status actually is, and what it may mean for buyers, sellers, and relocators in nearby Northlake, Argyle, and Flower Mound.

Quick Answers

Colovore Alliance is an announced, planned AI data center project, not an approved or completed facility. All figures below come from the state filing and from published reporting as noted, and they can change as the project moves through permitting, utility, and approval steps.

• What is Colovore Alliance? A proposed $430 million, one-story, 156,500-square-foot AI data center with four data halls at 14700 Heritage Parkway, in the Denton County portion of Fort Worth's Alliance corridor west of I-35W. It is an announced, planned project, not an approved or completed facility.
• Who is behind it? Colovore, a Santa Clara, California-based firm that builds liquid-cooled, high-density data centers, is the applicant. The owner listed in the filing is AIL Investment LP.
• Where exactly is the site? 14700 Heritage Parkway, west of I-35W in the Alliance area. The site is in the Denton County portion of Fort Worth, in the general area of the Northlake and Argyle city limits but not inside either town.
• How big is it? About 156,500 square feet in a one-story building with four data halls, a screened equipment yard, and an administrative area. Cross Timbers Gazette reported a planned power demand of about 32 MW, citing information from Colovore. The TDLR filing does not list a power-demand figure.
• Is it under construction? No. As of October 14, 2026, the project is announced and planned. The filing estimates construction from December 1, 2026 through December 1, 2028, but those are estimates in the filing, not a confirmed schedule, and state data center permitting is paused under the Governor's September 21, 2026 directive.
• What is the state's data center permit pause? On September 21, 2026, Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to halt data center permits statewide until ERCOT completes its grid audit and the Texas Water Development Board completes a water audit. The Colovore filing was submitted the day after the order, and the pause affects state-level environmental permits.
• What does it mean for Northlake, Argyle, and Flower Mound? If it proceeds, the project would add to the Alliance corridor's employment and infrastructure story near these communities. It does not guarantee home values, school changes, or timelines, and buyers and sellers should treat it as one factor among many, verified over time.

What Is Proposed: The Project at a Glance

The project, filed with TDLR under the name Colovore Alliance, is a proposed one-story data center building of about 156,500 square feet (about 14,540 square meters) with four data halls, a screened equipment yard of about 42,000 square feet, and an administrative area, at an estimated cost of $430 million. The filing describes a liquid-cooled, high-density design consistent with Colovore's existing data center approach. Cross Timbers Gazette reported a planned power demand of about 32 MW, citing information from Colovore. The TDLR filing does not list a power-demand figure. The site is vacant land at 14700 Heritage Parkway, west of I-35W in the Denton County portion of Fort Worth's Alliance corridor.

Colovore is a Santa Clara, California-based data center firm that builds liquid-cooled, ultra-high-density facilities, and it already operates a data center in the Dallas area. The Colovore Alliance filing is the company's first publicly reported project in the Alliance corridor. All of the figures above are announced plans from the filing and published reporting, not completed facts, and each is subject to change as the project moves through permitting and utility steps.

Status: Announced, Not Approved or Under Construction

It is important to be precise about what the TDLR record is and is not: it is a TDLR Architectural Barriers project registration (TABS). This registration records the project for state architectural-barriers review; it is not a local development approval, building permit, utility connection, or confirmation that construction has begun. The Colovore Alliance filing, TABS2027001701, was submitted on September 22, 2026, and it lists an estimated construction start of December 1, 2026, with an estimated completion of December 1, 2028. Those dates are estimates in the filing, not a confirmed schedule.

As of October 14, 2026, no construction has been reported at the site, and the project has not been presented as approved or under construction. Published reporting on the filing notes that the City of Fort Worth said the company was not under consideration for economic incentives. The project would still need to clear utility connection, grid interconnection, environmental permitting, and any local approvals before construction could realistically begin, and the state's data center permit pause, described below, is active.

The State's Data Center Permit Discussion, as Context

The Colovore Alliance filing lands in the middle of an active state-level discussion about data center growth in Texas. On September 21, 2026, Governor Greg Abbott directed TCEQ to pause permits related to data center projects while ERCOT and the Texas Water Development Board gather information about grid and water impacts. The Governor's directive also says state agencies should not move forward with related regulatory approvals until the requested information is acquired. The cited directive does not give a confirmed date for permitting to resume. ERCOT has separately said it plans to publish a related data-center impact report by December 10, 2026; that report date should not be presented as a confirmed end date for the permit pause. The TDLR TABS registration is a separate record and does not establish that Colovore has received the permits or approvals it may need.

Colovore submitted its TDLR TABS registration on September 22, 2026, the day after the Governor's directive. The directive concerns state-level permits related to data center projects; the TDLR TABS registration is a registration for architectural-barriers review, not a permit or an approval. The practical reading is that the project's state permitting path is affected by the directive while the requested grid and water information is gathered, and no confirmed date for permitting to resume has been published. The Governor has requested an update from TCEQ due October 19, 2026, which had not yet been published as of this article's review date. Anyone tracking this project should expect the timeline to depend on official state actions and the developer's next steps, which is exactly why the figures in this article are presented as announced plans rather than completed facts.

What It May Mean for the Alliance Corridor

The site sits within the Alliance corridor, the area anchored by Hillwood's AllianceTexas development, one of the most significant employment and logistics centers in North Texas. A data center of this scale, if it proceeds, would add to the corridor's mix of industrial, logistics, and technology uses. Data centers are not employment-dense in the way a manufacturing campus is: they create construction jobs during the build, then a relatively modest operations staff, so the corridor impact is more about infrastructure, power demand, and the signal that the area continues to attract large technology investment.

The open questions are power and water. A facility with a planned power demand of about 32 MW, as reported by Cross Timbers Gazette citing Colovore, would be a meaningful load on the grid, and data center power demand is exactly why the state has asked ERCOT and the Texas Water Development Board for grid and water information. For context on how the corridor and its communities are growing, my Denton County new development pipeline update covers the broader AllianceTexas corridor and surrounding projects, and the Northlake and Argyle infrastructure and growth overview walks through the roads, retail, and employment anchors taking shape nearby.

What It May Mean for Northlake, Argyle, and Flower Mound

First, a boundary note: the project site is in the Denton County portion of Fort Worth, west of I-35W. It is not inside the Town of Northlake, the Town of Argyle, or the Town of Flower Mound, and it does not change those towns' boundaries, schools, or taxing entities. It sits in the general area of those communities, which is why the project tends to come up in conversations about the corridor's future.

For buyers considering communities like Pecan Square, Harvest, Canyon Falls, Furst Ranch, or The Ridge at Northlake, the corridor's growth story is part of the area's appeal, but an announced project is not a reason to pay a premium. Announced projects can change, stall, or be withdrawn, and the state pause makes this one's timeline genuinely uncertain. Buyers should evaluate the communities on their own merits, schools by address, taxes, HOA, and current market data, and treat the data center as one factor among many. The Northlake city guide, Argyle city guide, and Flower Mound city guide cover each town's own planning and growth context.

For sellers, the corridor story can be part of how a listing is positioned, but pricing should stay grounded in current market evidence, not in unbuilt projects. The Northlake 2026 update and the Monarch commercial development coverage show how nearby growth is being reported, and the I-35W funding update covers the road investment shaping the corridor's accessibility.

For relocators, the Alliance corridor is one of several employment centers in the region, and a data center, if built, would add another employer within the corridor. I make no travel-time promises: the practical commute from any community depends on the exact home, your destination, and when you travel, and corridor traffic will keep evolving as the area builds out. The community comparison index is a good starting point for weighing the master-planned communities near the corridor against one another.

Considerations for Buyers, Sellers, and Relocators

Because the project is announced rather than approved, the practical advice is to verify status over time and avoid treating any single headline as settled:

• Check the filing yourself: the TDLR filing TABS2027001701 is public, and its listed dates and scope can be reviewed and re-checked as the project moves.
• Know the difference between announced and approved: the TDLR Architectural Barriers project registration (TABS) records the project for state architectural-barriers review; it is not a local development approval, building permit, utility connection, or confirmation that construction has begun.
• Watch the official state actions: the Governor's September 21, 2026 directive pauses data center permits while ERCOT and the Texas Water Development Board gather grid and water information, and no confirmed date for permitting to resume has been given. ERCOT has separately said it plans to publish a related data-center impact report by December 10, 2026; that report date is not a confirmed end date for the pause.
• Keep pricing grounded: no announced project guarantees resale performance, and nearby amenities, supply, demand, and broader market conditions all matter more than a headline.
• Verify your own property details by address: municipality, schools, taxes, HOA, and utilities for the exact home you are considering, in the town where it actually sits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Conclusion

Colovore Alliance is a significant announced project: $430 million, about 156,500 square feet, four data halls, and a planned power demand of about 32 MW as reported by Cross Timbers Gazette citing Colovore, at 14700 Heritage Parkway, in the Denton County portion of Fort Worth's Alliance corridor. It is also, as of October 14, 2026, a planned project rather than an approved or under-construction one, filed with TDLR on September 22, 2026, with an estimated construction window of December 1, 2026 through December 1, 2028 and a state data center permit pause active around it.

For buyers, sellers, and relocators near the corridor, the useful habit is the same as with any announced development: verify the status over time, keep pricing grounded in current market evidence, and judge each community on its own verified details. The corridor's growth story is real, and this project, if it proceeds, would add to it. Whether it proceeds, and on what timeline, is a question for the state's audits and the developer's next steps, not for a single filing.
