San Antonio’s New Tower Should Redefine Skyline
Robert Rivard on 13 July, 2014 at 00:48

The new Frost Tower, depending on its orientation and the new buildings that might surround it, probably can rise 40-50 stories.

“It will look iconic on the 10 o’clock news, which is the top 30 feet of the tower,” Smith said, “But equally important to me is that first 30 feet, what we live with on the street, and how it fits with the block, the neighborhood, and life and work downtown. It has to make for a compelling walk down Houston Street and it absolutely has to embody the things that Frost Bank stands for: quintessentially Texan, authenticity, integrity, a proud hometown name and brand.”

The Weston Urban/Frost Bank project timeline goes something like this:

Aug. 18, 2014: 10-day evaluation period by city staff ends. City staff invites competing proposals within 60 days.

Oct. 18, 2014: Deadline for any competing proposals to be submitted to city staff.

First quarter, 2016: Break ground.

First quarter, 2018: Complete building.
