at least both appear to have ample parking - i cant decide though the Houston one is a very cool design. BTW I really do like the modern skyscrapers of Houston and Dallas (and Atlanta for that matter)
BOA Dallas screams "look at me" I'm so glitzy & glamorous which represents the image the city loves to portray.
Chase Tower Houston screams power & boldness. A city not afraid to flex its muscle & build some of the tallest, most gleaming glass structures in the entire world without giving much thought on how they look after dark.

At 992 ft. tall (over 1,000 ft. if you measure its below street level lobby) Wells Fargo Plaza Houston is the tallest all glass facade building in the Western Hemisphere.
... one of those would have been better competiton.
I agree. I think a comparison of the two Bank of America centers would be a better one to make. Or as like to refer to them as the 80s building (Dallas...sorry, but the green reminds me of the 80s) and the Gotham building (Houston...really, all the BoA center in Houston is lacking are gargoyles...)
I should also add that Houston used to have a green outlined building now called the WEDGE International which is apparently home to the WEDGE Commercial Properties group. It was the inspiration of for the Bank of American Center in Dallas. However, it's no longer outlined in green at night....

Chase tower screams ugly & plain. I hate how one side look like a box! Chase tower is the ugliest building out of the top 3 tallest buildings in Texas!
BoA Plaza easily wins. It's a lot more elegant, and it just seems to have a cleaner, nicer look to it.
