Height
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 3rd-tallest building in Dallas' Arts District, behind Fountain Place and the Trammell Crow Center.
