# List of tallest buildings in Fort Worth

Fort Worth, the 5th-most populous city in the U.S. state of Texas, is home to 50 high-rises, 21 of which stand taller than 200 feet (61 m). The tallest building in the city is the 40-story Burnett Plaza, which rises 567 feet (173 m) in Downtown Fort Worth and was completed in 1983. The second-tallest skyscraper in the city is the Bank of America Tower (known until 2017 as the D.R. Horton Tower), which rises 547 feet (167 m). None of the buildings in Fort Worth are among the 30 tallest buildings in Texas.
Fort Worth's history of skyscrapers began with the completion of the 7-story Flatiron Building in 1907. When built, it was the tallest building in North Texas. The Flatiron Building stood as Fort Worth's tallest structure until 1910, with the construction of the 10-story Baker Building (since renamed the Bob R. Simpson Building). Fort Worth went through a major growth in skyscrapers during the 1920s and 1930s, with the Farmers and Mechanics National Bank building (since renamed 714 Main) emerging as the tallest in the city. The Farmers and Mechanics building remained the tallest in the city until 1957, when the 30-story Landmark Tower was completed. From the early 1970s to the mid-1980s, Fort Worth went through the largest construction boom in the city's history. In 1983, the 40-floor Burnett Plaza was constructed, surpassing the Landmark Tower. The Burnett Plaza has remained the tallest structure in the city to date.
