Fort Worth's history of skyscrapers began with the 1907 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 (renamed the Bob R. Simpson Building). Fort Worth went through a major growth in skyscrapers during the 1920s and 1930s, with the 714 Main building emerging as the tallest in the city. 714 Main remained as the tallest building 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.
As of October 2016, River Tower is complete and Frost Tower (formerly known as "Jetta") began construction.
