The National is a 52-story, 191 m (627 ft) skyscraper in the Main Street district of downtown Dallas, Texas, adjacent to the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) Akard Station. It is the tenth tallest building in the city. In January 2010 the building was closed due to low occupancy rates.[7][8] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.[6]
In 2020, it reopened, after the most costly building conversion in Dallas' history, totaling $460 million.[9] It contains The luxury Thompson Dallas Hotel, 324 apartments,[10] 37,000 sq ft of office space and 43,000 sq ft of retail space.[11]
