Well, Houston does have more high rises than Dallas. Most of Dallas' high rises are clustered either in downtown, uptown or along a few of the freeways. I do think Dallas has more high rises clustered in their downtown and uptown, which has really become an extension of the downtown skyline. Houston's downtown is pretty isolated from the other clusters, but the clusters they do have like the Texas Medical Center and Uptown/Galleria are big, tall and dense skylines to themselves. Houston's uptown/galleria area by itself would rank one of the state's biggest skylines, and I think I read once that the medical center has more square footage than Fort Worth's downtown.
Austin may even end up eclipsing Dallas for the number of buildings over 400 feet in the not too distant future, but they still have many more buildings over 500 feet than we do. Most of Austin's gains has been in the 400 foot range.
