Fountain Place, Corporate skyscraper in Downtown Dallas, United States
Fountain Place is a glass-clad office tower in downtown Dallas rising 720 feet with 63 floors arranged in a geometric prism shape. The reflective surfaces shift in appearance throughout the day, creating changing patterns across the exterior.
The tower was completed in 1986 during Texas's oil boom period and designed by the architectural firm Pei Cobb Freed & Partners. Its construction marked a peak in Dallas development and corporate investment at that time.
The tower anchors the Dallas Arts District with its glass presence shaping how the surrounding plaza near Klyde Warren Park feels and functions. Local workers and visitors move through the base area to connect cultural venues and green spaces in the neighborhood.
The plaza surrounding the structure is easily accessible and sits near multiple public transit stations that connect to downtown. The ground level is flat and clearly laid out, making navigation straightforward.
The base of the structure houses 172 computer-controlled fountains that create water displays throughout a garden designed by landscape architect Dan Kiley. These water features provide a refreshing contrast to the glass tower above.
