The height of the Frost may still be 400ft in the end. I am hearing that the Arts (Tobin Residences), similar to the Floodgate, may add one more floor due to demand. Clearly, it would seem SA downtown is finally realizing that slump buildings on prime Real estate is not the best financial objective, long term. I am hoping we see more and more and more, and that so our skyline will be compared to many other downtown cores under construction. The difference, when much of our buildings see completed, is that we will finally have one of the most diverse skylines ever. Old with new and new old with ultra modern (Frost Tower, which is a smaller version of the Bank of America NYC tower or One World Trade, it's structure and design and quality of its floor space are of similar comparison).
