It looks like there are cranes all over Houston right now! Thought I would put a couple of links with pictures, from skyscraperpage, of the construction cranes in downtown Austin area.

Would be nice for Dallas to get a few projects off the ground, seems like over the past few years all I see are proposals that come and go. Do you have a link to list of projects that are due to break ground (not proposals) would love to see what is going up in Dallas. If you think the amount of cranes in the southwest corner of downtown Austin is impressive, just wait until the projects on the S.E. side start.

There's a lot of projects under construction in the core of Dallas. I don't have an accurate number though.
