This article traces the history of Dallas, Texas (USA) during its real estate boom from 1975 to 1985.

From the mid-1980s to 2005, not a single highrise structure was built within the downtown freeway loop. Over-speculating, over-building and the Savings and Loan crisis practically destroyed the city economically. In 1987, Annette Strauss was inaugurated as the first female mayor of Dallas.^[1] In 1989, the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center opened in the Arts District of downtown.
