The Frost Bank Tower is a 33-story postmodern skyscraper in Austin, Texas, completed in 2003 and standing 515 feet (157 meters) tall. Designed by Duda/Paine Architects and HKS, Inc., it was developed by Cousins Properties as a class A office building containing 525,000 square feet of leasable space. The tower gained historical significance as the first high-rise building constructed in the United States following the 9/11 attacks. Its distinctive silvery-blue glass facade, sourced from the Reuters Building in New York City, is complemented by the Frost Bank logo positioned at 420 feet—the highest corporate logo in the city. The building serves as the Austin headquarters of Frost Bank and houses offices for major financial firms including Morgan Stanley, Ernst & Young, and PIMCO. Officially dedicated in January 2004, the tower ranks as the fifteenth tallest building in Austin.
