Key Takeaways <\/p>\n

Carrier will invest more than $600M over three years to convert roughly half of a 1.2M SF Hillwood building at AllianceTexas into an advanced manufacturing and engineering center. <\/p>\n

The plan adds offices, mezzanines and infrastructure for three production lines making commercial chillers used in data centers, healthcare, education and industrial buildings, with 1,500 jobs expected. <\/p>\n

The project joins Celestica, Wistron, Bell and MP Materials among North Texas manufacturing investments, reinforcing the region’s appeal for large-format industrial space. <\/p>\n

AllianceTexas keeps landing big factories: Carrier will put more than $600 million<\/a> into a 1.2M SF Fort Worth building over three years, according to Bisnow. <\/p>\n

Bisnow reported the center should employ 1,500 people and start production next year. <\/p>\n

What Carrier Is Building <\/p>\n

Carrier will renovate about half of Hillwood’s Alliance Westport 12 building at 1501 Distribution Drive. The project details come from a Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filing cited by Bisnow. <\/p>\n

The work includes additional office space and mezzanines. It also calls for a new elevator and systems to support three production lines. <\/p>\n

These lines will expand production of thermal management systems. These include air- or water-cooled commercial chillers. Such equipment serves data centers<\/a>, healthcare facilities, schools and industrial buildings. <\/p>\n

The Pitch <\/p>\n

Carrier CEO David Gitlin said the investment will expand the company’s U.S. manufacturing and engineering footprint. He added that it will also strengthen supply chain resilience. <\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Robert Allen, who leads the Fort Worth Economic Development Partnership, highlighted Alliance’s role in the region. He said the choice of the 27,000-acre development shows Fort Worth is becoming a center for advanced manufacturing. <\/p>\n

Bisnow described Carrier as the largest U.S. maker of HVAC equipment. <\/p>\n

A Crowded Alliance <\/p>\n

Bisnow highlighted several other major projects in the area. For example, Celestica plans an $876 million campus spanning more than 1 million SF. Meanwhile, Wistron opened a $700 million plant in July to make components for Nvidia supercomputers. A second facility is also in the works. <\/p>\n

Additionally, Bell Textron is building a $632 million aircraft-parts factory. MP Materials, meanwhile, is investing more than $1.2 billion in a 120-acre magnet campus in Northlake, just north of Fort Worth. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This story was originally published on CRE Daily.
