Knox Street Enters Its Next Evolution with Knox & McKinney

The joint venture partnership behind one of Dallas’s most transformative mixed use developments is advancing the next chapter of Knox Street with Knox & McKinney, a boutique office and luxury retail building. BDT & MSD Partners (“BDT & MSD”), Trammell Crow Company (“TCC”), Gillon Property Group, The Summers Group, and The Retail Connection today announced the groundbreaking of the 300,000 square foot project, which is scheduled to deliver in 2028.

Rising 12 stories at 4544 McKinney Avenue, the Class AA tower will offer 280,000 square feet of premier office space alongside 20,000 square feet of curated ground floor retail and dining. Thoughtfully crafted for modern occupiers, Knox & McKinney will feature a suite of hospitality inspired amenities, including a high end fitness center, a tenant lounge and private bar, multiple terraces for indoor outdoor workstyles, and a state of the art conference and boardroom facility. Tenants will enjoy unmatched walkability to Knox Street’s expanding selection of shops and restaurants, as well as immediate access to the Katy Trail.

“We’ve been very intentional about how each piece of Knox Street comes together, and Knox & McKinney is an important next step in that evolution,” said Sabrina Gleizer, Partner at BDT & MSD. “It delivers an exceptional boutique office environment, paired with elevated retail and dining that reflect the same level of quality and curation we’re bringing to the neighborhood more broadly.”

Jones Day, one of the world’s largest and most respected law firms, has signed a lease for 76,000 square feet. Founded in 1893, Jones Day operates from 40 offices across five continents and has maintained a significant presence in Dallas for more than three decades, advising clients across corporate, litigation, regulatory, and intellectual property matters.

“Forty-five years in Dallas and our commitment keeps growing," said Matt Kairis, Partner-in-Charge of Jones Day's Texas Region. "Knox & McKinney sits on an iconic corner in the city, and we're building it out the way Jones Day works best—collaboratively, and always with our clients in mind. We are all in on Dallas, and this extraordinary building, in this fantastic location, is meant to deliver that message loud and clear."

Knox & McKinney builds on the momentum of the partnership’s 1 million square foot Knox Street mixed use development located two blocks west. That development includes 150,000 square feet of office space—now fully preleased to ISN Software, Paul Hastings LLP, and BDT & MSD Partners—along with 100,000 square feet of retail, The Lora apartment tower, a half acre park connected to the Katy Trail, and The Knox Hotel and Residences, an Auberge branded luxury hotel and condominium offering. Lifestyle and dining leaders, including Sant Ambroeus, DÔEN, STAUD, TOTEME, and TWP, will debut standalone boutiques as the district begins delivering in Summer 2026, with additional new leases announcing in the coming months.

“Knox Street has undergone a remarkable evolution, becoming one of the most compelling mixed use districts in the country,” said Joel Behrens, Dallas Fort Worth Market Leader for TCC. “With our initial phase now topped out, the vision is truly taking form. Knox & McKinney continues that momentum and will play a foundational role in shaping the long term vitality of the neighborhood and the city.”

Kevin Brooke, Senior Vice President at TCC, added, “The strong early interest we’re seeing from best in class tenants reflects the appeal of Knox Street. This project delivers the quality, design, and environment that premier occupiers are seeking.”

Designed by Pickard Chilton Architects and HKS Architects, Knox & McKinney is being constructed by DPR Construction. Financing was provided by Goldman Sachs Alternatives and arranged by JLL. Office leasing is led by Trey Smith, Alexandra Cullins, and Julee Amparo of CBRE, with retail leasing overseen by The Summers Group. Jones Day was represented by Ryan Hoopes, Tom Sutherland, Kurt Richter, Art Santry, and Alexanda Boury of Cushman & Wakefield.
