Sleek and gorgeous, the Frost Bank Tower, along with the Capitol, is the most identifiable mark on the new Austin skyline, and the tower is Austin's first world-class skyscraper. Adding a fresh, stylish element to our cityscape, this 515-foot monolith, designed by Duda/Paine Architects, has a silvery-blue glass used nowhere else except NYC's 3 Times Square building. Among many firsts, it is now Austin's tallest building, and at the time of its ground-breaking, was the tallest to be built post-9/11. The 600-foot crane used to construct it is the highest crane ever used in Austin.
