The Williams Tower, a 64-story postmodern office skyscraper completed in 1983, rises 274.6 meters in Houston's Uptown District. Designed by Philip Johnson in association with John Burgee Architects and Morris-Aubry Architects, the tower comprises 1.4 million square feet of class A office space. Among Houston's most prominent skyline features, it ranks as the fourth-tallest building in Texas and the fifty-first-tallest in the United States—and holds the distinction of being the tallest skyscraper in America outside of a city's central business district.
