[H2O]

This project really has no more parking than other downtown office buildings. The standard parking ratio for office downtown is 1 space / 1000 sf of office. Since a parking space, plus circulation, equals about 300 sf, most office buildings have about the same square footage of parking as office. A building like Frost Bank, which has most of a block to spread out its parking, does not need as high of a podium. The smaller the site, the less efficient the ratio of parking spot to circulation space, so 1/4 block sites have ever taller podiums. Now that we mostly have mostly 1/2 and 1/4 block sites left, new office buildings will have similar height parking podiums, and will be limited in the amount of office they can accommodate until we either get better transit or autonomous uber cars that do not require parking.
