Q3 2026 · the quarterly state of the high-rise market, computed from the certified county roll
The quarter in five numbers § 01
528 recorded deed transfers across the 50 county-tracked buildings in the trailing twelve months — led by The Renaissance on Turtle Creek (42), Bleu Ciel (36), and Twenty-One Turtle Creek (34). $350/sf is the median assessed rate across the tracked market, spanning a seven-fold ladder from 1505 Elm ($195/sf) to The Terminal at Katy Trail ($1403/sf). The median building runs a 57% homestead rate — a residents' market by the public record's proxy, though the spread runs 12% to 100%.
What changed this quarter § 02
The registry launched at dallastowers.com; the 2026 certified roll was processed in full (sizes, values, exemptions, and transfer tempo on 50 buildings); ten flagship files entered the V2 intelligence standard; and 19 corrections have been published to date. The combination index — original units versus current tax accounts — remains the market's quiet story: at nearly every pre-1990 tower, owners keep absorbing their neighbors.
