The Frost Tower is a 23-story skyscraper in San Antonio, Texas, USA. It was opened in 2019 at a cost of $142 million and is the first new office tower built in downtown San Antonio since 1989 when Weston Centre was built.[3][4] Frost Tower replaced the old Frost Bank Tower as the headquarters of the eponymously named Frost Bank when it opened in 2019.[5] In early 2025, the Institute of Texan Cultures will move in due to its original building being demolished.[6]
Reception
[edit]The building won the 2019 Best Office/Retail/Mixed-Use Project by Engineering News-Record (ENR Texas & Louisiana)[7] and has been compared to Queen Elsa's ice palace, a drill bit, and a can opener.[8]
