Colovore Files for $430M Liquid-Cooled Data Center in Fort Worth, Texas

Colovore, a data center developer specializing in liquid-cooled high-density computing environments, has filed an application with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) to build a new facility in Fort Worth, marking the company's second planned data center in the Lone Star State and extending its push into one of the fastest-growing data center markets in the United States.

The project, named Colovore Alliance, is planned as a single-story data center on vacant land at 14700 Heritage Parkway in Denton County. According to the TDLR filing, the facility will encompass 156,500 square feet (approximately 14,540 square meters), with construction expected to run from December 2026 through December 2028. The total project cost is estimated at $430 million. The landowner is listed as AIL Investment LP, a likely affiliate of Hillwood Properties, the development group behind the AllianceTexas master-planned community in North Fort Worth.

The filing adds to Colovore's expanding footprint in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. The company's website outlines plans for two facilities in the region: the 44.8MW DFW01, set to be located in Mesquite, and the 32MW DFW02, planned for Fort Worth. Colovore is also developing a data center in the Hutto area near Austin, Texas, and has reportedly outlined further projects across Virginia, Texas, New Jersey, Illinois, Georgia, California, and Washington.

Founded in 2013, Colovore carved out an early niche in the data center industry by offering liquid-cooled racks capable of supporting up to 35kW per rack — a density level considered exceptionally high at the time. The company launched its original single-story, 24,000-square-foot facility in Santa Clara, California, in 2014, followed by a second facility nearby in 2024. In 2024, Colovore was acquired by investment firm King Street, after which it announced expansion plans into Nevada and Illinois.

The Fort Worth project underscores the broader industry shift toward liquid cooling as artificial intelligence and high-performance computing workloads push rack power densities beyond the practical limits of traditional air-cooled infrastructure. As operators race to accommodate GPU-dense clusters, liquid-cooled capacity has become an increasingly strategic asset in major data center hubs, and the Dallas-Fort Worth market has emerged as a primary destination for such investment given its available land, favorable power economics, and business-friendly regulatory environment.
