Konen said the district will appeal mostly to logistics, automation and advanced manufactur- ing companies that rely on inland rail ports. It will assist a rail port that provides nearly half of the trade volume in Texas, per previous reporting. Exports at AllianceTexas have increased by 378% between 2023 and 2024, data from Hillwood shows. AllianceTexas has more than 600 compa- nies with operations in the area as of 2025.
Companies come from multiple industries like manufacturing, automotive, aerospace and aviation, financial services, e-commerce and phar- maceutical health care. Organizations with ties to AllianceTexas include LG Electronics, Hyundai, FedEx, Amazon, Nestle and Charles Schwab, according to Hillwood documents. Companies like Aurora and Torc Robotics also do test drives for self-driving trucks at AllianceTexas.
Hillwood is investing in a new $20 million three-lane bridge to connect the BNSF intermodal facility and Alliance’s container depot. Jon Gabriel, group vice president of consumer products at BNSF Railway, said its intermodal facility helps connect roughly 1 million shipments a year to the area. “Our facility offers sustainable and efficient capacity solutions to cargo shipper supply chains across the Metroplex,” Gabriel said. The bridge will be mostly used by regular and autonomous semitrucks, and closed to residential traffic, according to a Hillwood news release. It will be built over FM 156 near Distribution Drive, Konen said. “The three-lane bridge will significantly improve freight flow while reducing truck traffic on public roads,” he said. Kelly Morris, a media and content specialist for Hillwood, said construction is underway and should be completed in late 2027.
