right? thats like what, Houstons 6th biggest skyline? theres definitely quite a difference in the Dallas skyscraper market vs Houstons market.

Here's the larger projects

The Taylor Building



Old Dallas High School Development



There's so many residential housing projects in Uptown/Oak Lawn that I can't keep up with it. There's more condos being built in North Texas than single family houses.

I've seen some pretty big and unbelievable exaggerations from the homers on both sides, but I think this one takes the cake.

Just for the record...This Frost building is being built in the themed masterplanned "Harwood district" the buildings will all look similar to each other when this area is built out...They wanted to keep it in the guidelines of the whole district...not some odd "Tacky" design just to beat Austins Architecture...Our frost building will look fine up against the rest of the Harwood district.

Harwood District - Harwood International

Yeah Austin has us beat but at least it will be better than San Antonio's or Houston's.

thats coming from a Dallas poster. what is such an unbelievable exaggeration about that? Houston is the most diverse big city in the US. we have more theater seats than all but one other city in the US. not to mention Houston is known for its restaurants, so im not sure what part of that statement was false?
