Dallas is getting a new urban anchor where Knox Street meets the Katy Trail. The mixed-use development spans a four-acre site and totals roughly one million square feet of office, hotel, residential, and retail, designed to knit a walkable district into one of the city’s most active trail corridors. It’s slated to open in 2026.
Project Scope
The program splits across building types and design teams. Woods Bagot is handling the hotel and residences, KPF designed the boutique office building, and HKS is architect of record. Balfour Beatty and Andres Construction are building it for developer BDT & MSD Partners. Putting a boutique office tower next to a hotel and residences on a compact four-acre footprint means tight logistics, shared structure and parking, and careful phasing against an active public trail.
Why It Matters
Knox Street is a bet on premium mixed-use in a market that’s drawn residents and corporate relocations through the decade. Rather than a single-use office block, the project leans into the live-work-stay model that’s reshaping how developers underwrite urban infill, anchoring value in walkability and adjacency to the Katy Trail rather than a single tenant. For Dallas, it adds density and street life to a neighborhood that already commands some of the region’s highest rents, and it tests whether boutique office still pencils when it’s wrapped in hospitality and housing.
