This Frost won't be our tallest, but hopefully the excitement this one is bringing will have a similar effect with our downtown. We gotta start somewhere. This is a good start.

I grew up in Austin and remember when the Frost Tower went up. There was a lot of excitement at the time about getting such an iconic building. Many people I knew back then were as excited about that building as we are for this one and just like you said, it was the catalyst for what downtown Austin has become.
I have very high (no pun intended) hopes for this Frost tower as well and what it can do for San Antonio.
