BDT & MSD Partners and Trammell Crow Company have announced the start of work on a 300,000-square-foot addition to the Knox Street development.
The new 12-story building, which will rise at 4544 McKinney Avenue, will include 280,000 square feet of offices and 20,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Named Knox & McKinney, the property is also to include amenities such as a tenant lounge, a fitness center, and conference space.
“We’ve been very intentional about how each piece of Knox Street comes together, and Knox & McKinney is an important next step in that evolution,” said Sabrina Gleizer, Partner at BDT & MSD, in a news release. “It delivers an exceptional boutique office environment, paired with elevated retail and dining that reflect the same level of quality and curation we’re bringing to the neighborhood more broadly.”
The property will open with an anchor tenant. Law firm Jones Day has signed a lease for 76,000 square feet of space in the building.
Knock & McKinney follows on the heels of the 1 million-square-foot Knox Street development, which includes 150,000 square feet of offices and 100,000 square feet of retail space.
Pickard Chilton Architects and HKS Architects are designing the project, with DPR Construction serving as general contractor. Financing was provided by Goldman Sachs Alternatives, and arranged by JLL.
