Same 1 bedroom floor plan, one floor higher: about $5 more a month. Floor 5 to floor 20 adds up to about $75.
18 available homes from floor 5 to 20, each against the middle of its own floor plan, from −$66 to +$55.

What each side looks at, how much sun it gets and what it costs.
One of the two long sides. You look across Uptown's mid rise blocks toward the downtown skyline.
The other long side. You look over McKinney Avenue's shops and restaurants toward the trees along Turtle Creek.
A short end. You look over Uptown streets toward the Katy Trail and the State Thomas area.
A short end. You look across Uptown toward Oak Lawn.
From the property's floor plans, read October 30, 2026. North is up.
The hours direct sun can reach each side of the tower on a summer day and a winter day.
Southeast: 7.0 hours of direct sun in July, 6.0 in January. Northwest: 6.0 hours of direct sun in July, 2.5 in January. Northeast: 5.0 hours of direct sun in July, none in January. Southwest: 7.0 hours of direct sun in July, 8.5 in January.
Calculated from the sun's path over Dallas on July 15 and January 15 and the direction each wall faces. A taller neighbor can block part of it.
Height here doesn't set the price as much as you'd expect. The same plan can cost more on a lower floor than a higher one, so compare homes, not plans.
31 available homes, November 4, 2026. Lowest rent on a 12 to 15 month lease, before the special.
Whitney Uptown is the cheapest way into a high rise on McKinney Avenue. On October 31, 2026 its lowest listed one bedroom was $1,485, about $500 under the next cheapest of the six McKinney Avenue towers we track. It has renovated homes, views and restaurants on every side. The building itself is the problem. Through 2025 and 2026, residents wrote about only one of three elevators working for weeks at a time, plus floods, pests and broken doors. The site says a full elevator upgrade is underway.
Every written review we found on two sites.
“The apartment is in an amazing location at a very good rent price.”
“only one elevator works 99% of the time”
“I recommend this place to those who want to live in a high-rise on a budget and are prepared for things to break.”

Residents wrote of weeks with one of three elevators running in 2025 and 2026. The property says an elevator upgrade is underway.
Reviews from 2025 and 2026 report flooding in homes and the garage, a day without water in October 2026, AC out for weeks, mold and roaches.
Dallas 311 logged 167 code compliance requests at the address since November 2020, 33 of them in February and March 2026. The city's open data doesn't say what they were about.
The owner listed the tower with Institutional Property Advisors in March 2026. A sale could bring a new manager mid lease.
The street scores 71 out of 100 (higher is quieter), mostly from traffic. McKinney Avenue's bars and the trolley line are right outside, and a 2026 resident wrote that the windows let in rain, construction and airplane noise.
FEMA puts this address outside its high risk flood area. Renters insurance doesn't cover floods, cars in the garage included.

Not reliably, by residents' accounts. Reviews describe one of three elevators running for weeks in February and March 2025. A July 2026 review says only one had worked since October 2025, and all three were down in August 2026. The site says a full elevator upgrade is underway but gives no end date. We ask how many cars are running before your tour, and until the upgrade is finished we'd look at floors 6 to 9 here and walk the stairwell on the tour.

An affiliate of The Kor Group has owned it since Gables Residential sold it in July 2021. Lincoln managed it at first, and Avenue5 Residential took over in December 2023. Institutional Property Advisors listed the tower for sale in March 2026, so a new owner may come.
