    Knox Promenade brings vertical density and vibrant public life to one of Dallas’ most walkable urban neighborhoods

    Knox Promenade

    Knox Promenade is a 3.14-acre mixed-use development that serves as an experiential gateway into the vibrant Knox District in Dallas. Strategically located at the southeast corner of Armstrong and McKinney, this development seamlessly blends luxury residential living, senior housing, and office spaces with ground-level retail and restaurants, creating a dynamic urban environment. At the heart of the development lies a central greenspace, featuring a large tree grove designed for community gatherings and public events, establishing a vital social hub within the neighborhood.
