Wake Up to the Skyline in This Luxe Museum Tower Residence

Some views are so perfectly framed that even a passing cloud seems intentional.
“It’s like somebody painted it there,” laughed Allie Beth Allman & Associates agent Joseph Flores, watching one settle neatly between some downtown high-rises.
It was hard to imagine a better introduction to Museum Tower Residence 704 at 1918 Olive St.
A private elevator opens directly into the newly listed seventh-floor residence, where gallery walls are designed to showcase art. Beyond them, floor-to-ceiling windows draw the eye to the downtown skyline. Klyde Warren Park unfolds below, Dallas’ premier arts venues are at your doorstep, and Reunion Tower rises in the distance.
“It’s one of the only high-rises that can command a view like this while placing you right in the middle of everything,” Flores said of the two-bedroom, two-bath home.
Perspective, as well as the view, sets this 2,436-square-foot unit apart
The protected northwest exposure remains open and unobstructed, while the residence’s elevation places the treetops almost at eye level. Rather than looking down on the city, you’re immersed in it. By day, the park becomes part of the view. At night, illuminated fountains, downtown lights, and the energy of the Arts District create an entirely different backdrop.
Celebrated interior designer Jennifer Welch reimagined the original floor plan to include an expansive primary bedroom with a spacious corner study. The redesign creates a gracious, gallery-inspired entry while preserving the flexibility to restore the second bedroom. Flores called it “your own gallery hall” — a space to display favorite works of art. Light wood floors, clean architectural lines, and carefully considered finishes give the residence a contemporary, timeless feel.
Outside, the sweeping terrace follows the gentle curve of the building before transitioning into a more intimate seating area — a favorite spot for watching the skyline shift from afternoon into evening. Porcelanosa custom cabinetry, a dramatic XTONE waterfall island, Miele appliances, and built-in refrigeration bring a designer’s sensibility to the kitchen.
Artful details appear throughout the residence, from Andy Warhol’s Muhammad Ali covering the wall in the guest bath to the Miró-inspired mural in the primary suite. Mirrored closets reflect both the natural light and the view, while the spa-like bath features travertine finishes, dual vanities, a soaking tub, a separate shower, and extensive custom storage.
One thing can’t be captured in photographs — and it has nothing to do with the finishes
“The dynamic of living is what doesn’t convey,” said Flores. “You don’t know how well you’re taken care of and pampered until you move in.”
People quickly discover why owners describe Museum Tower less as a building and more as a lifestyle. Staff can arrange grocery deliveries, walk the dog, and handle special requests. A 24-hour concierge and valet streamline daily living, while two Escalade house cars are available for trips to nearby destinations. Luxury guest suites, an 80-foot resort-style pool, fitness center, saunas, and a private dog park make everyday life as effortless as it is indulgent.
Museum Tower also occupies one of the rare places in Dallas where culture isn’t a destination — it’s the neighborhood. A walk through Klyde Warren Park can lead to an afternoon at the Dallas Museum of Art, while an evening at the Winspear often begins with dinner at one of the city’s most sought-after restaurants.

“The view, the amenities, and the location may be the selling points,” said Flores. “But at some point, it just becomes home.”
