King Yuan's $1.3B Fort Worth Semiconductor Plant Takes Shape
  • Taiwan’s King Yuan Electronics bought 27 acres in Fort Worth from an ASB Real Estate Investments affiliate for $79 million, advancing a $1.3 billion semiconductor testing plant for Nvidia chips.
  • A state filing shows a 507,000-square-foot building at 273 West Everman Parkway with a $300 million construction cost, set to start in late October and finish in August 2027.
  • King Yuan plans at least $1 billion in real property and $300 million in equipment, adding to North Texas’ AI-driven industrial boom as ULI and PwC rank DFW the top market to watch for 2027.
Key Takeaways

Taiwan’s King Yuan Electronics has spent $79 million on 27 acres in Fort Worth for a $1.3 billion chip-testing plant, The Real Deal reports.

An ASB Real Estate Investments affiliate sold the land. The Fort Worth Business Journal reported the plant will test chips for Nvidia.

The Building

A state filing describes Everman Fort Worth Building 2, a 507,000-square-foot facility at 273 West Everman Parkway. It estimates $300 million to build, and Plano-based Kara architecture and interior is the design firm.

Work was expected to start in late October and run to a listed August 2027 completion date.

The Investment

Earlier Business Journal reporting put King Yuan’s spending at no less than $1 billion on real estate and another $300 million on equipment.

Council members in Fort Worth were due to weigh tax incentives for the company in late October. The report didn’t say how that vote went.

Zoom Out

Fort Worth keeps landing chip-linked users. Our brief on Harting’s abatement covered a 10-year property tax break for a $192.7 million plant and noted the city was also courting semiconductor-linked employers such as Wistron and Adom Industries.

Why It Matters

The AI race is feeding industrial demand across North Texas. In the Urban Land Institute and PwC’s Emerging Trends report, strong DFW industrial building helped rank the region the top market to watch in 2027, alongside relatively affordable housing and big banks setting up shop.

Other users are expanding too. Carrier’s $600M plan would convert about half of a 1.2-million-square-foot Hillwood building at AllianceTexas into an advanced manufacturing center.

What’s Next

Construction runs through August 2027. Watch for the council’s decision on tax breaks.
