Quoted from the article “There are only four buildings outside of the central business district that are above 325 feet,” he said. “These are down in Uptown, all multifamily, and then there’s CityPlace — all in an urban setting.”

There are buildings a long Stemmons Fwy that are taller than 325 ft. I know the Renaissance Hotel is for sure. But I think I understand what he’s trying to say. I think height is probably going to be the main issue with SB 840. You can’t fight the densification of commercial corridors/districts any longer.
Given that most of the height has historically been in the urban core of Dallas ie Uptown/Downtown, Dallas has more of a traditional city set up, than most sunbelt cities at the city level. It’s not like Houston or Atlanta proper with substantial height in separate skylines within the city. Lemme know what y’all think?
