Glitzy Knox Street development construction tops out. Here’s the Dallas project timeline

The Dallas Morning News | February 18, 2026

The 1 million-square-foot Knox Street mixed-use development has topped out construction, developers told The Dallas Morning News.

The joint venture partnership of BDT & MSD Partners, Trammell Crow Company, Highland Park Village Associates and The Retail Connection is behind the massive 4-acre project on the eastern edge of Highland Park.

The three-tower development will include 150,000 square feet of office space, 100,000 square feet of retail, a 27-story, apartment tower and a half-acre park with direct connection to the Katy Trail, as well as The Knox Hotel and Residences, a 140-room hotel and 47 luxury condominiums operated by Auberge Collection.

TCC representatives declined to say how much the partnership invested in the project or its estimated worth. But the project was once called Dallas’ most expensive real estate project.

“Reaching this milestone at Knox Street is a testament to the dedication and collaborative spirit of the entire development team,” Joel Behrens, Market Leader for TCC Dallas-Fort Worth, said in a statement. “It’s incredibly rewarding to see the project’s vision, which we’ve been working on for so long, finally take shape.”

One of the first buildings to be delivered will be the 27-story multifamily tower. Called The Lora, the building will feature 186 apartments. The one-, two-, three- and four bedroom units will range from 800 to 3,500 square feet. The building was designed by architecture firm Woods Bagot.

The Knox Hotel and Residences is set to open in late 2026, and nearly all of the condo units have sold out, the group said in a news release. The condos range from 2,500 square feet to over 15,000 square feet. Pricing reportedly started at $4.5 million.
