KKR, a leading global investment firm, Kairoi Residential (Kairoi), a national multifamily investment, development, and property management company, KBS, one of the most prominent investors in premier commercial real estate, and Southern Land Company (SLC), a national real estate developer of mixed-use developments and master-planned communities, announced that KKR and Kairoi have acquired Novē at Knox, from KBS and SLC. 

Kairoi will operate the hospitality-inspired property. Novē at Knox was developed and operated by SLC in partnership with KBS.

“Our acquisition of Novē at Knox strengthens our already deep presence in the highly-attractive Sun Belt region which continues to benefit from net migration as a result of strong employment growth and attractive lifestyle benefits,” said Chris Lee, partner and head of real estate Americas at KKR. 

“Novē at Knox is a landmark luxury property ideally located in Dallas’ go-to locale for individuals seeking a dynamic destination to live and work. We believe this property is poised to benefit from Dallas’ strong economic fundamentals in the years to come.”

“High-end multifamily properties like Novē at Knox, located in thriving Texas markets like Dallas, are increasingly attracting investors,” says Gio Cordoves, Western regional president for KBS.

“Novē at Knox presented an excellent opportunity for KBS to leverage its deep office and local market expertise in this region to develop a luxury apartment complex within the Dallas metro,” says Brett Merz, asset manager for Novē at Knox and senior vice president at KBS. “This is an extremely desirable property for investors in this market.”
