Wistron D1 Fort Worth AI Smart Factory

Wistron opened its D1 AI smart factory at 15200 Heritage Parkway in the AllianceTexas development in Fort Worth on July 21, 2026. The 324,000-square-foot D1 facility is allocated more than $580 million of Wistron's $761 million AllianceTexas project and assembles and tests NVIDIA GB300 Grace Blackwell Ultra Superchip and upcoming Vera Rubin Superchip AI systems. The publicly reported 500-jobs figure describes an at-opening headcount that mixes construction, trades and manufacturing per NVIDIA's grand-opening coverage, and the announcement's 800/888 figures cover both AllianceTexas sites combined. AFT records the D1-specific investment and the at least 634 new full-time jobs that Fort Worth's tax abatement agreement requires at this site by December 31, 2026, a contractual commitment rather than a confirmed current headcount.

Fort Worth's tax abatement agreement requires Wistron to create and maintain at least 634 new full-time jobs at this site by December 31, 2026 (Project Site 1, 15200 Heritage Parkway). The agreement's separate 254-job commitment for 14601 Mobility Way is not included. This is a contractual employment commitment, not a confirmed current headcount.

Why this project qualifies

With more than $580 million in facility-specific investment and at least 634 permanent operating jobs announced, this project clears both of AFT's qualifying thresholds ($100 million in facility-specific investment OR 100 permanent operating jobs). It is also confirmed by official public sources and involves a physical manufacturing facility in the United States.
