Burnett Plaza

This 40 story, 1,024,627 square foot building is the tallest in Fort Worth at 567 feet and is the city's largest office building. it was constructed on the site of the Medical Arts Building, by Wyatt C. Hedrick. It was designed by Sikes, Jennings, & Kelly Architects from Houston, Texas and Geren Associates from Fort Worth. The building has two distinct facades. The eastern side, facing Burnett Park, resembles the Bank of America Building. The western facade features the elevator core of the building as a design element. In order to construct this skyscraper, the Medical Arts Building, an 18 story early Fort Worth landmark skyscraper, was demolished. KDFW-TV (Fox 4) and WFAA- TV (Channel 8, ABC) have cameras located on top of the building to show views of the city during their newscasts.
