Is there any way to sneak a few hundred feet of floors under Frost to make it taller? Probably can't happen from an engineering standpoint, but one can dream. What a shame they didn't do more with it.

I thought about that to Drummer. Adding another 100ft to Frost would be great, but unfortunately it's not going to happen anytime soon or if ever. But the good news is that the land where the courthouse was defeated will soon be up for grabs to private developers. We could be looking at a very tall tower, possibly a supertall since there is no height limit in that particular area.
