MARKET INTEL: Knox Street Corridor Strategy – Dallas, TX

The Knox Street development has confirmed its initial retail roster, emphasizing high-growth lifestyle brands.

- DÔEN: (Texas Debut) Digitally-native feminine lifestyle brand. Currently operates 7 stores (CA/NY). This site represents a strategic move to capture the Sun Belt luxury demographic.

- STAUD: (Texas Debut) LA-based contemporary fashion. Moving from a localized pop-up presence to a permanent flagship.

- TOTEME: (Texas Debut) Stockholm-based minimalist label. With only three existing U.S. locations (NYC, LA, Aspen), this selection confirms Dallas as a top-tier global priority.

- TWP: Expanding from a temporary showroom at Highland Park Village to a permanent, standalone retail footprint.

The development is a joint venture between BDT & MSD Partners, Trammell Crow Company, The Retail Connection, and Highland Park Village Associates.

Retail Leasing: Managed by Stephen Summers and Kaitlin Travis of Highland Park Village Associates.

High-Value Insight: > “We are collaborating with the best brands and teams across every industry to create a truly distinct vision for world-class shopping, dining, hospitality, and residential living.” — Sabrina Gleizer, Partner, BDT & MSD Partners.

The retailers will occupy the ground-level of the 1 million-square-foot mixed-use site at Knox St. and Travis St.

Neighbors: Direct proximity to The Knox Hotel (Auberge Resorts Collection) and Sant Ambroeus.

Infrastructure: The site features a direct connection to the Katy Trail and a new half-acre park, positioning it as the primary "trailhead" for the neighborhood’s pedestrian traffic.

The influx of first-to-market brands on Knox Street indicates a significant shift in Dallas retail dynamics.

Inventory Scarcity: With Highland Park Village operating at 100% occupancy, Knox Street is the primary recipient of "overflow" luxury demand.

Mixed-Use Validation: The development’s 150,000 SF boutique office tower is already 100% pre-leased to firms including ISN Software and Paul Hastings, ensuring a stable, high-income daytime consumer base.

The Trend: There is a verifiable move toward "Street Retail" over traditional malls; 59% of 2025 luxury openings have occurred in street-level environments rather than enclosed centers.
