Renaissance Tower is a 886-ft (270 m) 56-story modernist skyscraper in Downtown Dallas, Texas, United States. It was the tallest building in Texas from 1974 until 1982 and the tallest building in Dallas from 1974 until 1985.
The building was constructed from 1972 to 1974 and underwent a remodeling project in 1986, which included a re-glazed exterior and the addition of a broadcast center and 5 decorative towers, the tallest of which is 176 ft (54 m). The original height of the building was 710 ft (220 m) before the addition of these towers. At the base of the building, there is a glass-pyramid structure that houses an underground food court, which connects to other nearby structures with tunnels.
Renaissance Tower had several names prior to its renovation, including First International Building (1974 - 1982), InterFirst Plaza (1982 - 1985), and InterFirst Two (1985 - 1986).
