The Infomart is one of the largest buildings in Dallas, Texas (USA), located at 1950 Stemmons Freeway in the Market Center neighborhood between Oak Lawn and Interstate 35E near downtown. The 7-floor, 1.5 million square foot building is one of the most distinctive in the city. It was modeled after The Crystal Palace, a huge iron and glass building, originally erected in Hyde Park in 19th century Britain to house the Great Exhibition of 1851.

The building was constructed in 1985 and sold in 1999 and again in 2006. The building is currently owned by DCI Holdings.
