The Frost Tower is a 23-story skyscraper in San Antonio, Texas, USA. It 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.

Reception[]

The building won the 2019 Best Office/Retail/Mixed-Use Project by Engineering News-Record (ENR Texas & Louisiana)[5] and has been compared to Queen Elsa's ice palace, a drill bit and a can opener.[6]
