Looks barely taller than the Bank of America Plaza. Near Super tall? IDK if its the perspective, but if this could just make it to 300m, a historic time for Dallas.

Looks like the crown might do just that.

Counting four floors per segment, with 15 office segments and four atrium segments, that's 76 floors worth of height.

At 910', Foster's Oceanwide Center has 75 floors.

Hopefully this will be a record-setter for Dallas.

Seems like the top portion of the cylinder is empty, which would add height. So ...

Counted for.

Wow! Fantastic. Foster is probably my favorite. Those skygardens look incredible. Has a Chinese supertall look to it. Really exciting.

Great news! If Perot is going that high, he should make it Texas tallest.

Nice tower Dallas!! This is a Tall thin version of the Bow in Calgary!

Very nice tower for Dallas! Looks maybe 950 feet tall? Hopefully it's taller so we can get another US Supertall

Dale · #69 Posted **Mar 25, 2017, 5:41 PM**

All they have to do is go 922 for a new tallest. Can't imagine they wouldn't try.

That would be awesome but consider me a happy camper just by it surpassing our current tallest at 922 like Dale said.

Damn, that's a fine looking tower.

Perhaps a new tallest in city? Or even state?

Foster rarely disappoints.

Top notch tower. I love the atriums and huge crown.

canucklehead2 · #73 Posted **Mar 26, 2017, 5:13 PM**

Very Tour Sans Fins meets Bow. Hope it hits the 1000' mark as it's a great design and what could be a new icon for Dallas!

Love it!

I love it! Foster definitely loves diamonds.

Terrific and unique add to Big D!

A "Skinny" version of the Bow tower in Calgary. Only the Bow is a half a cylinder!

Aside from lattice and a curved facade, they bear zero resemblance.

Forgive me for not knowing, but what's the status on this baby? Checking up on new tallest projects outside of Austin....this one happens to be one of my favorites.
