Fountain Place, located at 1445 Ross Avenue in the Arts District of Downtown Dallas , Texas is a 62-story Modern -styled Skyscraper . Standing at a structural height of 220 M (720 Ft ), it is the fifth tallest Skyscraper in Dallas. (If one were to exclude antennas and spires, Fountain Place is currently the fourth tallest building in Dallas.) It is also the 15th Tallest building in Texas . The original plans for Fountain Place called for a twin tower, rotated 90 degrees from the original, to be built on an adjacent block. Due to the collapse of the Texas oil, banking and real estate industry in the early eighties the development was never completed. The building was designed by the award winning architects I.M. Pei and Partners and was completed in 1986 . The building is known for its unique architecture—it was designed as a large, multi-faceted prism. Its various slanted sides cause the building to have a completely different profile from all directions. The building gets its name from the wide array of fountains built in a large plaza at its base. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
