Overview
Texas Data Center Watch tracks three data center projects in Denton County, including Colovore Alliance at 14700 Heritage Parkway in Fort Worth, listed as Registered (TDLR).
A Sept. 22, 2026 TDLR registration's scope text describes a one-story data center building of 156,500 sq ft, with an admin area and four data halls, plus a 42,000 sq ft screened equipment yard. The filing's own square-footage field lists 42,000 sq ft, the yard figure, and doesn't say why. It gives an estimated cost of $430M, a Dec. 1, 2026 start and a Dec. 1, 2028 completion, and lists the landowner as AIL Investment LP (TDLR).
DCD reports the filing, says Colovore's website plans a 32 MW "DFW02" facility in Fort Worth (a company figure), notes Colovore was acquired by King Street in 2024, and describes AIL Investment LP as likely a Hillwood Properties affiliate (DCD).
City of Denton rules (Oct. 13): The Denton Record-Chronicle reports the Denton City Council voted 4–0 to require a council-approved specific use permit for data centers, limit them to industrial/public zoning, and set a 300-ft setback (Denton Record-Chronicle).
Oct. 27 moratorium hearing: The City of Denton's notice lists a second public hearing on a proposed data center moratorium (city and ETJ) for Oct. 27, 2026, 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 215 E McKinney St (City of Denton).
