List of tallest buildings in Dallas


Dallas is the third-largest city in the U.S. state of Texas. It is the largest city in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, the fourth-largest metropolitan area in the United States, with a population of 8.3 million as of 2024. Dallas is the site of 85 completed high-rise buildings over 300 feet, 20 of which stand taller than. Dallas' skyline is one of the largest in the Southern United States. It has the second most skyscrapers taller than 492 ft in Texas, after Houston. The tallest building is the Bank of America Plaza, which rises in Downtown Dallas and was completed in 1985.
The history of skyscrapers in the city began with the 14-story Praetorian Building in 1909, often regarded the first in Dallas or even the entire Western United States. The 1920s saw the construction of notable office towers such as the Davis Building, Santa Fe Building, and the Magnolia Building. While Dallas' skyline was mostly unchaged during the Great Depression and World War II, the Mercantile National Bank Building was the only major office building completed during the war. Built in 1943, it was the tallest building completed during World War II. After the war, Dallas resumed high-rise construction earlier than most U.S cities. Gables Republic Tower, completed in 1958, was the first building to surpass 492 ft in Dallas. From the mid-1950s to 1970s, the city's skyline grew steadily under a skyscraper boom downtown. Dallas' current second-tallest building, Renaissance Tower, was built during this period to a height of 710 ft. Its height was later increased to 886 ft in 1986.
The energy boom of the early 1980s led to a surge in skyscraper construction, including the completion of Bank of America Plaza, Comerica Bank Tower, Chase Tower, and Fountain Place. Out of the ten tallest buildings in Dallas, eight were built during the 1980s, and none were completed after 1987. The later oil glut and early 1990s recession brought an end to the boom, and the downtown skyline has grew little until the mid-2000s. In the 21st century, high-rise development in Dallas has centered around an area northwest of downtown, mainly in Uptown and Victory Park. Although the number of buildings taller than 300 ft increased from 53 in 2000 to 85 in 2025, the amount of them taller than 492 ft only increased from 18 to 20. The two additions are Museum Tower and AMLI Fountain Place, both located downtown.
Dallas-Fort Worth is the largest metropolitan area in the United States without a supertall skyscraper. The height of skyscrapers in Dallas is impacted by the Dallas Love Field airport, whose flight paths cover downtown and areas to its northwest. The tallest buildings in Dallas are concentrated in downtown, with a noticeable decrease in height north of Spur 366 that divides downtown from Uptown and Victory Park. High-rise buildings extend further northwards towards Oak Lawn, including in the neighborhood of Turtle Creek. There is a much smaller cluster of towers around the Galleria Dallas, in the city's north, as well as shorter high-rises on both sides of State Highway 75. High-rises are sparse throughout the rest of the city. While not a skyscraper, the 560 ft Reunion Tower is one of the skyline's most iconic landmarks, recognizable for its spherical geodesic dome. The tower's observation deck is a popular photography spot for Dallas' skyline.
