DALLAS | BOA Plaza | 922 FT / 281 M | 72 FLOORS | 1985

Oh yeah!

from http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=135

- Architect(s): JPJ Architects Inc., HLM Design

- This was the phase of an original four tower plan actually completed. A twin tower and other smaller structures were also planned back in the 1980's real estate boom.

- At night the building's outline is accented by green argon lighting. The Bank of America Plaza's lighting has become a Dallas icon.

Now we need some night shots of this bad boy!
One of my favorite Texas skyscrapers, right along with Fountain Place.

It aged very well.
It could have been built a couple of years ago.

Another tower I'm happy that wasn't twinned. I read somewhere that when built it had the highest height to width ratio in the world.

Somebody has to have some sweet night shots of that lovely green argon. All the ones I have are blurry due to technical difficulties with my camera (i.e. beer).
