This older article was posted previously, but I missed this part. I was under the impression that the HDRC would have little to no say on this building.

The new Frost headquarters tower will be constructed on a site that falls within the city’s Military Plaza Historic District. Therefore, according to Lori Houston, director of San Antonio’s Center City Development and Operations Department, the Historic and Design Review Commission will have a key voice in the ultimate design of the new tower. That has some individuals predicting that the final product may be more complementary than contemporary.

I'm sure it'll all work out, but I have to admit I was relieved when I thought the HDRC was out of the picture.
