Overview
Reunion Tower is a 561-foot observation tower in Dallas, topped by a geodesic sphere lit with LED lights at night. It is one of the most recognizable parts of the Dallas skyline.
History
Designed by Welton Becket & Associates, the tower was completed in February 1978 and opened to the public that April, together with the Hyatt Regency Dallas, in a redevelopment that also restored nearby Union Station. The Reunion district takes its name from La Réunion, a short-lived utopian colony founded by French settlers near Dallas in the 1850s. The tower stands about 1,000 feet from Dealey Plaza.
Today
The tower's GeO-Deck observation level offers views across the city, and a restaurant operates in the sphere. Its 259 LED light nodes show programmed displays for holidays, sports wins and city events.
