I am jealous and I like the building design. Everybody building skycrapers but Fort Worth. Third largest economy in the state of Texas refuses to build skycrapers.

Pittsburgh too.

Dallas's is very impressive, looks better at night than Houston's downtown does. Houston's uptown looks great at night too.

Dallas' skyline would look better if we had more buildings.

I feel you man, Texas really needs to keep up with Chicago and NYC, and lets just say the rest of the world especially China, and start building some supertall's in it's cities. Houston's tallest building has been there since the 80's, and I'm guessing the same can be said for Dallas as well.

I agree, Dallas has been building highrises in Uptown Dallas, I wish the buildings were taller. I wish Dallas could build a new 900 ft plus building in Downtown. Hopefully it will happen in the near future.

Yeah I hope so man, both Houston and Dallas need a make over, it's been about 30 years respectively since their last supertall.
