Built in 1959, Dallas got its first cluster of diversified buildings downtown. It was called Southland Center consisting of the 42-story office tower, the 29-story Sheraton Hotel, a shopping mall, restaurants, clubs, and a large underground parking garage. The 31-story north tower formerly known as Skyway Tower was added in 1981. All three structures are steel with the exterior of curtain wall and pre-cast masonry. The three building complex was recently restored and formerly Adam's Mark Hotel. Sheraton Hotel now occupies the entire complex including a large convention center across Olive Street to the west of the complex. This is the largest hotel in Texas and one of the largest hotels in the Southwest with 1,844 guest rooms.
