How Tall is Houston? Let's Settle This Once and For All
Hey there, fellow skyscraper enthusiasts! Ever gazed up at a towering building and wondered, "Just how high does that bad boy go?" Well, if you're in Houston, Texas, and that building you're eyeballing happens to be a fancy high-rise, there's a good chance you're looking at the tallest building in H-Town.
But how many floors are we talking about here? Buckle up, because we're about to take a deep dive into the fascinating world of Houston's architectural giants!
The King of the Houston Skyline: The JPMorgan Chase Tower
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
There's a reason they call it the JPMorgan Chase Tower, folks. This skyscraper isn't just playing around - it's the undisputed heavyweight champion of Houston's skyline, towering over its competition at a whopping 75 floors. That's right, 75! Imagine the view from the top - you could probably see all the way to Galveston on a clear day (if you ignore the curvature of the earth, that is).
Tip: Jot down one takeaway from this post.

Fun Fact: Almost an 80-Floor Giant!

Believe it or not, the JPMorgan Chase Tower was originally designed to be even taller, with a planned 80 floors. Can you imagine? Apparently, those pesky folks at the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) had a word about that, worried planes might get a little too close for comfort. So, the architects went back to the drawing board and chopped off those extra five floors. Still pretty darn impressive, though!
Tip: Don’t skip — flow matters.
So How Many Floors Do You Need Anyway?
QuickTip: Use posts like this as quick references.
Let's be honest, most of us will never need to climb all 75 floors of the JPMorgan Chase Tower. But hey, it's good to know it's there, reaching for the clouds and reminding us that Houston has a whole lot of ambition (and maybe a touch of competition with Dallas).
Next time you're in Houston, take a look up and see if you can spot the JPMorgan Chase Tower. And if you're feeling extra ambitious, maybe you can even count the floors (from a safe distance, of course). Just don't blame us if you get a crick in your neck!
