The Knox Hotel and Residences will be managed by Auberge Resorts Collection, a hospitality company headquartered in California. The hotel will hold 140 rooms and 48 luxury condos ranging between 2,500-15,000 square feet.

Martin Brudnizki Design Studio designed the hotel, which will include restaurants, bars, event spaces, and a full-floor spa and wellness center. Dallas-based interior designer Chad Dorsey designed the residences, which will include private amenities, such as a clubroom, a bar and lounge, entertainment spaces, a fitness center, and an indoor pool.

The development includes a 150,000-square-foot office building fronting Knox Street. Dallas-based ISN Software Corporation will anchor the building, having already leased the top four floors.


The office amenities will include a fitness center, a tenant lounge and a cafe.

Retail leasing is already underway for more than 100,000 square feet of retail space in the development. Space will be leased to a mix of national and local businesses to bring in shopping, art, culinary, and health and wellness experiences, according to the news release.

The development will also include a 27-story multifamily building equipped with 173 units as well as amenity spaces, luxury interiors and balconies.
