The Frost Tower is an iconic and well recognized building. The reason why I say this is due to several factors. One I believe it was either Law and Order or NCIS though ill have to double check. In the most recent episode, the scene has some detectives walking into an office high up in a tower with a view of the New York skyline through the windows. The camera angle changes facing the detectives and wouldn't you know, on the wall in clear full view was a framed picture of none other than the Frost Bank Tower. Now of all the buildings they could have had in a picture on the wall, why do you think it was Frost? TV sets are set up with specific decor, they don't just throw in any old thing (unless it was low budget maybe and even then there needs to be a cohesive and complementing set.) The fact that the picture was clearly visible means they want the audience to notice it. Anyone who knows anything about Austin would immediately recognize that building. As far as I know there is no other building in the country exactly like it.

I play a mobile game called Metropolis which is kinda like Sim City. They use a lot of iconic buildings from around the world and guess what. There is a building that is exactly like Frost Bank. The only building ive seen that is definitely Austin's.

Frost is an icon of the city and it is a beautiful tower. Ive heard people comment from other cities that Frost is their favorite high rise. It was the best thing that could have ever happened because it broke the ceiling for future taller highrises.

As far as the latest design of Waller Creek Center, I will hold off on my opinion. To be honest I have not decided yet. As others have said I do think the design program that was used plays apart on how it is looking and as also mentioned, I wouldn't be suprised to see an updated final rendering. These renderings don't seem cleaned up just yet.
