A joint venture of BDT & MSD Partners, Trammell Crow, and The Retail Connection has broken ground on Knox & McKinney, a new 300,000-square-foot mixed-use project. The development is slated for completion in 2028 and follows the partnership’s earlier work on the 1-million-square-foot Knox Street mixed-use project located two blocks to the west.
The Knox & McKinney project will rise 12 stories at 4544 McKinney Avenue as a Class AA tower. Plans call for 280,000 square feet of office space stacked above 20,000 square feet of ground-floor retail and dining. The program is designed to combine workspace with activated street-level uses as part of the broader Knox Street district.
Office tenants at Knox & McKinney will have access to a slate of hospitality-style amenities. The building is programmed to include a fitness center, a tenant lounge, and a private bar. Multiple terraces are being incorporated into the design to support indoor-outdoor workstyles, and the project will also offer a dedicated conference and boardroom facility.
Leasing momentum is already underway, with law firm Jones Day signing a lease for 76,000 square feet in the tower. The commitment secures a substantial portion of the planned office space ahead of the building’s delivery and establishes a major tenant presence within the project.
Knox & McKinney is being designed by Pickard Chilton Architects in collaboration with HKS Architects. DPR Construction is leading the construction of the tower. Financing for the development was provided by Goldman Sachs Alternatives and was arranged by JLL, supporting the joint venture’s latest addition to the Knox Street area.
