Two of the biggest projects in Dallas are finishing on the same street. On Knox Street, a 1-million-square-foot block on the Katy Trail brings an Auberge hotel, a 27-story apartment tower and a new office building. A mile east, where Knox becomes Henderson Avenue, 12 new buildings fill a stretch that sat empty for decades. Here’s everything that’s opening, when, and what it means for the neighborhood.

Firsts for Dallas, Texas and the U.S.
What it means for the neighborhood
Knox-Henderson was already one of the few truly walkable shopping streets in Dallas. These two projects add a luxury hotel, more than 230 new homes, about 225,000 square feet of new offices and roughly 200,000 square feet of new shops and restaurants along a single mile.
The trade-offs are the ones neighbors raised during zoning: more traffic and more demand for parking, especially on evenings and weekends once the restaurants open. Both projects put most parking underground, and Henderson’s rebuilt streetscape is meant to make the walk between shops easier.
For buyers and renters weighing nearby areas, it means more to walk to and more competition for homes close to the strip. See how Dallas scores on Realust →
Questions
When does The Knox hotel open?
The Knox, Auberge Collection is taking reservations for stays starting Jan. 29, 2027. Rooms start at $1,000 a night.
When do the new Henderson Avenue stores open?
The buildings between Glencoe Street and McMillan Avenue are being handed to tenants in mid-November 2026. Most stores are expected to open in March or April 2027, and Romy has been targeting December 2026.
Are Knox Street and Henderson Avenue the same street?
Yes. Knox Street becomes North Henderson Avenue where it crosses US-75 (North Central Expressway). The two new projects are about a mile apart.
Where can I park?
Both projects put most parking underground. The Henderson project has about 500 underground spaces plus surface lots for its smaller buildings, and all three Knox towers have below-grade parking.
Are there new apartments or condos?
Yes, on Knox Street: The Lora has 186 rental apartments, and The Knox has 47 condos above the hotel. The Henderson project is shops, restaurants and offices, with no homes.
What else is coming after these?
Knox & McKinney, a 300,000-square-foot office and retail building at 4544 McKinney Ave., broke ground in 2026 for 2028. On Henderson, a 10,000-square-foot shop building at 2107 N. Henderson is filed to finish in August 2027.
