Dallas leaders are confronting a tough question about one of the city’s most recognizable landmarks - whether to repair, relocate, or rebuild City Hall.
The debate begins tonight as officials weigh the costs of maintaining the 1970s-era building, where repair needs are now estimated to exceed $345 million.
The massive concrete structure, designed by famed architect I.M. Pei and opened in 1978, has long faced problems with leaks, aging systems, and structural wear.
City engineers have identified critical issues with plumbing, electrical, and HVAC systems, adding to concerns about long-term safety and efficiency.
The discussion marks the first step in what could become one of Dallas’ biggest civic decisions in decades. City leaders say they’ll explore whether to invest in renovations, move operations to another site, or construct a new facility entirely - all while preserving the legacy of one of downtown’s most distinctive architectural landmarks.
