Museum Tower is a 42-story, 170 m (560 ft) skyscraper, providing personalized service, in the arts district of Dallas, Texas. Completed in January 2013, the building is the tallest new structure to be built in the city in recent years, and is now the second-tallest all-residential building in Dallas, behind Gables Republic Tower.
Museum Tower is the 15th-tallest structure in Dallas, tied with both the Reunion Tower and Cityplace Center in height. Among all-residential buildings in Dallas it is surpassed in height only by the Republic Center Tower I, with its 184 m (604 ft) spire. However, if measuring by roof height, and thereby excluding the Republic Center Tower I's spire, Museum Tower is taller. It also breaks the record for the highest residence in Dallas, surpassing the 138 m (453 ft) Republic I. The Museum Tower is the 4th-tallest building in Dallas' Arts District, behind Chase Tower, Fountain Place, and the Trammell Crow Center; with being the tallest building in Dallas.
Museum Tower was designed by architect Scott Johnson, a member of the Los Angeles-based Johnson Fain architectural firm. Originally proposed as a 20-story tower, the height was significantly increased to accommodate more residences. The glass-clad tower features an elliptical floorplan. Together with Scott Johnson's remarkable design, is the work of three of Dallas' leading interior designers. Emily Summers of Emily Summers Design, Marco French of Marco French Studio, and Ann Schooler of Kellog & Company provided interior design and fine art consulting.
Situated in the center of the Arts District, Museum Tower is located adjacent to the Nasher Sculpture Center, the Meyerson Symphony Center, the Winspear Opera House and Wyly Theatre. The building consists of 115 residential condominiums, ranging from 1,650 to 8,700 square feet (153 to 808 m2) in area. Each condominium will feature direct-access elevators and private balconies.
