Dallas's Knox District is getting its next big address, as Ivy Park, a 30-story, 400-foot tower holding a 97-room boutique hotel and 63 multimillion-dollar condominiums, has been unveiled as half of a $600 million, two-tower plan along the Katy Trail, a few blocks north of Knox Street and near the Highland Park border. Its sister tower, The English, will rise 20 stories beside it, the two buildings will share a garden that runs out to the trail, and Ivy Park's top floors will hold a two-story penthouse that could take up 16,000 square feet.
Developer Jonas Woods and 3-O Real Estate Partners are behind the plan, with KPF as architect of record for the Ivy Park tower. Its first two floors will hold the lobbies, restaurants, the hotel pool, and other amenities, the hotel will take floors four through nine, and the condominiums, which will average 3,000 square feet, will run from the 10th floor to the 30th, with residential amenities and a second pool and spa on the third floor. The hotel brand is still open. Woods said major luxury brands with a global presence have expressed interest, and three or four upscale restaurants are expected, with announcements possible in the next several months. The English, a 240-foot building designed by WDG and the Michael Hsu Office of Architecture, will hold 90 condos averaging 2,100 square feet that could be sold or rented depending on market demand, and both towers will share an underground parking garage.
The two towers will share a 2.2-acre block about 300 feet from the Katy Trail, the 3.5-mile recreational path, on ground that used to be the Monticello West assisted living community. Ivy Park will face the garden from the north and The English will sit on the south side, with the green space linking both towers to the trail. The neighbors are arriving first. Next door, a planned 20-story luxury apartment tower called The Savannah is also in the works, The Knox, Auberge Collection is set to open January 29, 2027 a few blocks south with 140 rooms and 48 residences, and Four Seasons' Hotel and Residences Dallas at Turtle Creek is rising now and set to deliver in October 2027.
The Knox-area plan is the first for Woods and for 3-O, the partnership he formed last year with Ignite-Rebees founders Tristan Simon, Mark Masinter, and Tom Paterson, and Woods leads it as CEO. He led Victory Park from inception through 2 million square feet of mixed-use space and recapitalized Woods Capital as Pacific Elm in 2022. His first move here tilts toward residents more than visitors: the two towers could hold up to 153 homes against 97 hotel rooms, and Ivy Park's 63 condominiums alone outnumber the 48 residences at The Knox, which opens with 140 rooms of its own.
Still ahead are the city's zoning approval, the hotel brand, and the restaurant lineup, and Woods hopes to break ground before the end of 2028.
