Renaissance Tower, Modernist skyscraper in downtown Dallas, Texas

The Renaissance Tower rises 270 meters with 56 floors, featuring a glass-pyramid structure at its base containing a two-story underground food court.

First International Bancshares Tower, built in 1974, underwent modifications in 1986 by Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, adding broadcast towers to reach 886 feet.

The building served as a filming location for the television series Dallas, representing corporate power in numerous establishing shots throughout the show.

The tower connects to neighboring buildings through the Dallas Pedestrian Network, providing protected walkways for visitors and office workers during extreme weather.

In 1981, climber Dan Goodwin scaled the exterior wearing a Spider-Man costume to inspire a child with cystic fibrosis.
