CPS Energy also has plans to build a new iconic tower downtown. San Antonio's Historical review board shot down a 30 plus story hotel because it was to close to the Alamo. The HDRC claimed that it could cause the Alamo and S.A. Missions to lose the chance of becoming a World Heritage Site. There are other high rise structures in the planning stages in various parts of downtown.
