Autonomous Solutions More Than Doubles AllianceTexas Office

Autonomous Solutions Inc., a Utah-based maker of self-driving systems for industrial vehicles, is taking over the second and third floors of Hillwood Commons I at AllianceTexas, growing its Fort Worth office from 11,097 to 25,806 square feet. The company will staff the expanded space with more than 100 employees, all within walking distance of the AllianceTexas Test Center where it runs its equipment through real-world scenarios.

Why it matters

ASI opened its first Fort Worth office at Hillwood Commons in July 2025, its third U.S. location after Utah, to be close to a test track it could show off to customers, partners and investors. Fifteen months later, the company is more than doubling that footprint rather than relocating, a sign the Alliance corridor’s pitch as a place to build and demonstrate autonomous technology in the same building where engineers work is landing with at least one tenant. AllianceTexas has drawn a cluster of autonomous-vehicle operators since TuSimple brought self-driving semitrucks to the area in 2022, followed by TORC’s autonomous truck hub in 2025 and the Alliance Logistics District, a BNSF Railway and Hillwood partnership formed in November 2025 with streets built for cargo-carrying autonomous shuttles. ASI’s expansion deepens that cluster, and unlike a new lease from an outside company, it comes from a tenant already embedded in the park choosing to grow in place.

The numbers

ASI’s space at Hillwood Commons I goes from 11,097 square feet to 25,806 square feet spanning the second and third floors, a jump of more than 14,700 square feet. The company did not disclose lease terms or a completion date for the build-out. Hillwood, the AllianceTexas developer, confirmed the deal through Ian Kinne, its vice president of logistics innovation and investments, who said the company wants to attract more tenants like ASI to the 27,000-acre development.

What’s next

ASI CEO Mel Torrie said the AllianceTexas location lets the company “grow our company” in the same place it tests and demonstrates its technology to customers. With the Alliance Logistics District’s cargo-focused streets still being built out and TORC and TuSimple already running autonomous freight operations nearby, the next marker for Dallas-Fort Worth’s autonomous-vehicle cluster is whether a Fort Worth building permit follows for the Hillwood Commons build-out, or whether another AV company announces a lease at the same campus.
