Yes, I know. Just wanted an idea of which of them were already built and was asking for another list for those currently proposed or under construction. Thanks for the info on those that have been completed.

Austin's skyline looks much better from the pictures I've seen. Nice growing skyline. Still needs more density. I hope the T.Stacy tower can go up. Would compliment the Austonian nicely (which looks like Museum Tower in Dallas). I haven't physically seen the skyline since 2004. I don't even think the Frost Tower was done yet and if it was, it wasn't done yet. The best view of Downtown Austin is coming from the South on I-35 IMO.

One view in Houston that you didn't mention is the view on the 288 North ramp from the South Loop, which shows a good close up of the TMC, DTH and Galleria. And, I know it's just an opinion, but that view blows anything that Dallas offers out of the water. You really get a sense of how much more impressive the Houston skyline is. TMC alone looks to be larger than Uptown Dallas.
This is so true. It's one of my favorite spots in Houston (which is kind of weird) just for the view it offers. Too bad the city can't add a little pull over for pictures and such.

Houston has been saying that for years - let us know when it actually happens.

And if it ever happens we'll be able to count on one hand how many people actually care.

Seriously y'all make me laugh, if you keep posting threads about Houston vs Dallas it makes you seem like your worried about Dallas being better which it is, and as much a y'all people from Houston hate to admit it Dallas is leading Tecas so far in business that's why they keep adding way better skyscrapers to there Skyline, Houstons Skyline looks like Rectangle blocks standing up, unlike Dallas who's skyscrapers are unique and they keep adding more and more, and most articles I've read claim Dallas and Houston are booming in business but Dallas is leading Texas right now, so until I see Houston have more unique buildings then I'll probably take back what I said about Dallas. (waiting for someone to quote my comment and point out there own facts aka opinions about how "good" Houston is than Dallas)

In unique buildings, I might give a SLIGHT edge to Dallas (and Houston isn't exactly chopped liver either in that department). But as for the majestic and bold angles of a skyline's COMPOSITION? I'll definitely give that to Houston. (And there are no interesting bayou walks in Dallas' downtown either.)

The views of downtown Houston coming from I-45 north and from US 59/288...two utterly awesome views, day or night. I'm one of those that doesn't put too much stock in green outlines and flashing dandelions. I prefer the futuristic "Blade Runner" style myself.
