Once upon a time, the Texas Capitol towered over Austin — but from the city's ever-loftier C-suites it increasingly looks like a plaything. Driving the news: Austin is expected to grab the title of tallest Texas city by 2026, per a new study by Texas Real Estate Source. Zoom in: Combined, Austin's skyscrapers measure 23,582 feet — second in the state to Houston's 30,498 feet of high-rises.
