DALLAS, TX – Southern Land Company (SLC), a national real estate developer for award-winning mixed-use developments and master-planned communities, hosted a grand opening event at their new luxury high-rise apartment building, Novē in Knox. The community was developed in collaboration with KBS, one of the largest real estate owners in the United States.
SLC employees and partners who were part of the development project attended a reception on the pool deck and lounge on the fourth floor of the property to celebrate the milestone and mark the completion of the project.
While Novē in Knox started welcoming residents in the fall of 2020, SLC held a grand opening ceremony due to the pandemic.
“It has been almost five years since we saw the tremendous opportunity to offer a unique luxury housing solution in this part of Dallas, and it has been a few months since we welcomed the first residents of a year to Novē at Knox who were no one could have predicted, ”said Tim Downey, Founder and CEO of SLC. “It feels great to finally put a feather in the cap on this project and have a real party. We are proud of this property and look forward to being part of the growth and future of the vibrant Knox-Henderson area. "
Following brief comments from Downey, guests enjoyed food and drinks from G Texas Catering and live music from Fort Worth-based duo Danni + Kris. In addition, the guests were given tours of the property by the Novē leasing team to get a first glimpse of the Novē furnishing rooms, model apartments and penthouses.
SLC planned the opening in cooperation with the event management group CSI DMC.
Novē at Knox is the first and only apartment complex in KBS's portfolio in the Dallas area. The company currently manages eight prime office properties in the Dallas / Fort Worth area.
"Novē at Knox is a great example of KBS 'expertise in strategically finding the right companies to partner with multi-family projects," said Brett Merz, Novē asset manager at Knox and senior vice president at KBS. "This grand opening event highlights the growing demand for luxury apartments in the Dallas area."
