Actually, I've not been a fan of Pelli's designs for a while now. Too many of their buildings look the same. Many of them are octagonal or some similar geometric shape. This building, though, is a little bit different since its shape is a legit nod to the Frost Bank logo. It's not merely another non-square and quasi-roundish tower.
Of course, Pelli does have some wonderful towers. I mean, holy smokes. The Petronas Towers, Bank of America Corporate Center, Key Tower, 777 Tower, and my favorite, Wells Fargo Center (Minneapolis).
Anyway, be happy with what you guys are getting. This is San Antonio's first office tower in 30 years. There are probably people here not old enough to remember the last time a major office tower went up in San Antonio.
