Proposed in the late 60's,would have been an office and possibly some hotel tower and contanied 60 floors.
From Dallassky (http://www.dallassky.com/un-built.htm)
1969-Griffin Square-Dallas Tower 60-stories, a 913-foot high circular office-hotel tower, to contain one million square feet of floor space and cost $30 million. The project's developer was Wesley C. Goyer Jr. and was designed by a Dallas architectural firm. The cylindrical concrete structure, was to be located at Griffin Street near Young Street adjacent to the Dallas Convention Center. Office suites were to occupy the lower floors and a 600-room hotel for the upper 28 floors. Glass-enclosed express elevators on the tower's outer rim were to provide visitors with a breathtaking ride to a revolving restaurant and indoor and outdoor observation areas at the top of the tower. The tower for that era, would have been the world's tallest concrete building and the tallest building in Texas. The project was nearing a ground breaking schedule in 1970, but canceled when the major hotel operator Harvey Hotels withdrew from the project.
