Trammell Crow Company Tees up Mockingbird Station Multifamily

Trammell Crow Company’s plans for Mockingbird Station don’t appear to be waylaid by tariffs, with a multifamily project on track to start construction in September. 

The Dallas-based developer estimates that the seven-story, 395-unit apartment building will cost $80 million, according to a recent state filing. That’s $202,500 per unit. Construction on what’s known as phase 2 of Mockingbird Station East is expected to wrap up in July 2027, the filing said. 

Trammell Crow is building the 677,000-square-foot complex at 5399 Twin Cities Drive. Dallas-based GFF Design is the designer on the project. 

Mockingbird Station is a transit-oriented development built around the Dallas Area Rapid Transit station. When it’s completed, the 11-acre project will feature 19,000 square feet of retail and 142,500 square feet of office space. 

The development counts among its tenants movie theater Angelika Film Center, West Elm, Urban Outfitters and Woodhouse Spa. Mockingbird Station already has apartments, the Lofts at Mockingbird Station, a 211-unit complex converted from a warehouse built in 1948. 

Less than two miles south on North Central Expressway, Trammell Crow Co. is leading a team of developers to build a 12-story office building on the site of Chuy’s Tex-Mex restaurant at 4544 McKinney Avenue, with an eye toward delivery in 2028.

That 300,000-square-foot building, dubbed Knox & McKinney, will include ground-floor retail space.

The 2027 delivery of Mockingbird Station’s latest multifamily component is likely timed to coincide with rising rents in Dallas-Fort Worth. Oversupply caused rents to plunge beginning in 2022, but the rate of decline has slowed, with rents falling just 0.4 percent year-over-year at the end of January, according to Yardi Matrix.
