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
