I used to work in a building 2 blocks from here and can confirm 100% its in Love Field's flight path. This building would be downhill from that building (3131 McKinney), so I suspect it could be maybe 25 stories at the most. Still, this is actually pretty tall for that part of Carlisle, which is mostly 4 story apartment and office and some townhomes and low-rise condos. The proximity to the Katy Trail though calls for that density. I used to complain that while Dallas has been booming, it hasn't had much height. But I like the way things are slowly building upward as the density increases. The last few buildings in Uptown mostly seem to be pretty tall compared to the 4-5 story fare that we got used to. The opposite of Las Colinas, which started tall and is filling in with shorter residentials.
