Houston’s skyline only looks the same because the typical view from the west is of a part that’s built out and won’t change much. From the south or east it’s now very different. And as a whole it has bulked up a lot since the 1990s. The new Hines 700 footer off Travis will be very front and center so it will stand out.

Dallas is the same. The traditional CBD is frozen in time, and it’s harder to view the forest of midrises popping up to the west. In reality the number of tall buildings there has gone up even if the very dominant skyscrapers haven’t. It’s evident when you see pics from the 80s, Dallas looks like OKC with random very tall skyscrapers and nothing around them.
