As part of its rollout of the Silver Line regional rail project, DART has signed a 10-year lease for office space at Knoll Trail Crossing.
The building sits adjacent to Knoll Trail Station, one of two Dallas stops along DART's Silver Line, a 26-mile route which connects seven cities, three counties, and DFW Airport. It also is located less than one mile from the Addison Transit Center, the region's busiest bus transfer location outside of Dallas City limits.
In addition to offices, DART will also lease have access to the roof of an on-site parking garage, which will serve as a passenger drop-off and pick-up space for the Silver Line. Pedestrian access to the station will be from Knoll Trail Drive and the Cotton Belt Regional Trail, which is being built with the Silver Line.
“This lease is a significant component to providing best-in-class rail service to DART customers utilizing the Silver Line Knoll Trail Station,” said DART vice president of real estate and economic development Caitlin Holland. “As DART continues to expand and refine its transit services, we want to ensure that we’re available to monitor that progress and immediately address issues as they arise. This lease will enable us to perform maintenance needs, respond to criminal activity, and address customer concerns in the northern segment of DART’s service area more quickly and effectively.”
Silver Line trains are expected to make it onto the tracks soon, as DART begins simulating testing between DFW Airport and Knoll Trail Station in October or early November.
