Spanning four acres (1.6 hectares) north of Downtown Dallas, the District development will include luxury residences, retail spaces, offices, and a boutique hotel. A public park is at the heart of the master plan, complementing the neighboring Katy Trail, an active pathway for pedestrians and cyclists that runs through the northern end of Dallas. Kohn Pedersen Fox, part of a world-leading design team involved in the Knox District, is the architect of the boutique office building, while Woods Bagot is responsible for the hotel, residential and retail components. HKS is serving as architect of record, and OJB Landscape Architecture is designing the development’s green space.
The KPF-designed mixed-use office tower features terraces on multiple floors and a rooftop penthouse with outdoor access. The building comprises six workplace floors situated above two floors of retail and restaurant spaces, providing a covered paseo along the Knox District’s retail corridor.
KPF’s ongoing work in Dallas includes the North End Development, an 11-acre (4.5-hectare) master plan that provides 1.5 acres (0.6-hectare) of contiguous green space located at the intersection of several fast-evolving neighborhoods, and Parkside Uptown, a two-phase scheme that integrates a mix of programming.
