What is the tallest building in Dallas?
List of tallest buildings in Dallas
The history of skyscrapers in the city began with the construction of the Praetorian Building in 1909. That building, rising 184 feet (56m) and 14 floors,[8] is often regarded as the first skyscraper in Dallas[9] or even the entire Western United States;[10] it was demolished in 2013.[8] Dallas's first building standing more than 492 feet (150m) was the Mercantile National Bank Building, completed in 1943.[11] During the 1980s energy boom, the city saw a significant number of completed projects.[12] There are currently four buildings under construction that are planned to rise at least 350 feet (107m).[13][2][3] Overall, the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat ranks Dallas's skyline (based on existing and under construction buildings over 492 feet (150m) tall) 3rd in the Southern United States (after Miami and Houston) and 9th in the United States.[lower-alpha 1]
