List of tallest buildings in Fort Worth
Fort Worth, the 5th-most populous city in the U.S. state of Texas, is home to 50 high-rises, 21 of which stand taller than 200 feet (61 m).[1] The tallest building in the city is the 40-story Burnett Plaza, which rises 567 feet (173 m) in Downtown Fort Worth and was completed in 1983.[2] The second-tallest skyscraper in the city is the D.R. Horton Tower, which rises 547 feet (167 m). None of the buildings in Fort Worth are among the ten tallest buildings in Texas.
Fort Worth's history of skyscrapers began with the 1907 completion of the 7-story Flatiron Building in 1907. When built, it was the tallest building in north Texas.[3] The Flatiron Building stood as Fort Worth's tallest structure until 1910, with the construction of the 10-story Baker Building (renamed the Bob R. Simpson Building).[4] Fort Worth went through a major growth in skyscrapers during the 1920s and 1930s, with the 714 Main building emerging as the tallest in the city.[1] 714 Main remained as the tallest building in the city until 1957, when the 30-story Landmark Tower was completed.[5] From the early 1970s to the mid-1980s, Fort Worth went through the largest construction boom in the city's history.[6] In 1983, the 40-floor Burnett Plaza was constructed, surpassing the Landmark Tower. The Burnett Plaza has remained the tallest structure in the city to date.[7]
As of June 2011[update], there are no skyscrapers under construction in Fort Worth. However, 3 buildings have been proposed for construction.[1][8]
