I would say in each of these cases HDRC was a non-factor. None had proposals that were abandoned. It was more the overall nature of doing business in San Antonio and downtown.
Perhaps, and perhaps the prospect of dealing with HDRC meant no proposal for DT was ever in the working.

Where is that Joske's tower again? How did the Grand Hyatt end up with the design it has, when nearly everyone on this board favored a previous design proposal? How many times has Cattleman's Square had to go back to them?
Not to mention the perpetual beige DT we all lament.
Not saying everything they do is bad, or that we are the only city to go through this, but to say they are not a factor at all is plain foolishness.
