The Ultimate Guide to The Knox: An Insider's Look at Dallas's Game-Changing Development
From our Douglas Elliman office directly across the street, we’ve had a front-row seat to the transformation of Knox Street. But our connection is even more personal. Living just around the corner in Highland Park, this isn’t just a development we're talking about—it's our community. We love walking these streets daily, from the vibrant Katy Trail to the bustling sidewalks of Knox and Travis Streets where all the action is happening. We are immersed in this neighborhood's evolution, and we can say with absolute confidence that the energy building here is something truly special and game-changing for Dallas.
This isn’t just another new hotel and condo building. It is a masterfully planned, multi-faceted destination designed to create the most complete luxury lifestyle experience in the city. We've gathered all the essential information to bring you the ultimate insider's guide to The Knox.
The Core Vision: A Seamless Urban Ecosystem
Set for a grand completion in 2026, The Knox is a monumental mixed-use project led by industry titans Trammell Crow Company and MSD Capital. With world-class design by architects Woods Bagot, the vision is clear: to enhance the beloved character of Knox Street while creating a vibrant, walkable nexus of living, working, and leisure.
Here’s the breakdown of the key components:
-
A Luxury Hotel & Exclusive Residences: The anchor of the project, featuring a 140-room hotel and 48 private condominiums, all managed by the prestigious Auberge Resorts Collection.
-
A Class-A Office Tower: A 150,000-square-foot office building that will bring daytime energy and professionals to the area.
-
Luxury Apartment Living: A separate 27-story residential tower containing 173 luxury apartment units.
- An Urban Oasis: A stunning half-acre park that will serve as a community green space with direct, seamless access to the Katy Trail.
-
Curated Retail & Dining: Over 100,000 square feet of new, high-end shopping and restaurant space.
The Pinnacle of Living: The 48 Residences at The Knox
For those seeking to own a piece of this landmark, the crown jewels are the 48 private residences situated atop the Auberge hotel. These aren't just condos; they are fully serviced homes that come with the five-star amenities and personal touch that have made Auberge a globally revered name in hospitality.
Underscoring this commitment to world-class quality is the project's design dream team. The hotel's stunning interiors are being envisioned by the internationally acclaimed Martin Brudnizki Design Studio, famous for their work on some of the world's most iconic private clubs and hotels. For the exclusive residences, the developers turned to Dallas's own Chad Dorsey, a designer celebrated for his bespoke, sophisticated approach that blends serene luxury with meticulous craftsmanship. This collaboration ensures every space, from the grand hotel lobby to the intimate living areas of your private home, will be a masterwork of style and comfort.
Now, while we’re not in the business of spreading gossip, the buzz about who is moving in is simply too exciting not to share. When the talk of the town involves who is occupying the top two floors, it’s hard not to listen. Let's just say a certain titan of industry—you might even call him a "chicken billionaire"—has reportedly decided to roost at the very top. We won't say more, but it confirms the incredible caliber of residents this building is attracting.
When you choose to live at The Knox, you're not just buying an exquisite home; you're gaining entry into one of the most exclusive new communities in the country. If you're looking to join an elite club and enjoy rubbing elbows with fascinating neighbors, this is unequivocally the place to be.
The Culinary Crown Jewels: World-Class Dining at Your Doorstep
A key part of the Knox vision is becoming a premier culinary destination. Two major announcements have confirmed this ambition:
-
Sant Ambroeus (Opening 2026): In a massive win for Dallas, the iconic Milanese hospitality group will open its first-ever Texas location right here.
-
Swedish Hill (Opening ~2027): The beloved Austin-based bakery, deli, and café is also slated to join the neighborhood.
For residents, this means having world-class dining options—from a morning cappuccino to a celebratory dinner—just an elevator ride away. And let’s not forget about all the other amazing restaurants located across the street.
The Complete Lifestyle: Work, Wellness, and Retail
The Knox development brilliantly integrates every aspect of modern urban life.
-
Work: The office tower, anchored by Dallas-based ISN Software Corporation, ensures the district will be as vibrant on a Tuesday afternoon as it is on a Saturday night.
-
Wellness & Nature: The half-acre park is more than just green space; it's a deliberate and beautiful bridge to the Katy Trail.
-
Shopping: The 100,000+ square feet of new retail will thoughtfully expand upon the high-end boutiques that already make Knox Street a premier shopping destination. To ensure a world-class experience, the project's retail is being exclusively managed and leased by Highland Park Village Associates. This is the same celebrated team responsible for the curation and luxury atmosphere of Highland Park Village, America's first self-contained shopping center. This stewardship guarantees the selection of retailers and the overall ambiance will be second to none, creating a shopping and dining district of international acclaim.
Your Opportunity in a Landmark Project
The Knox is not just being built; it's being masterfully composed. It represents the future of Dallas—a future that is luxurious, connected, and effortlessly walkable. While sales for the 48 Auberge residences have been strong, a limited selection of premier homes, including coveted three-bedroom layouts, remains.
As your neighbors and very engaged realtors, we have comprehensive, up-to-the-minute information. If you are seeking a life of unparalleled convenience and luxury, this is an opportunity that will not be replicated.
