The Frost Tower is a nice building, but it s not the building we were promised. Graham Weston said it would be the tallest in the city (it s 6th) that it would be iconic (maybe if it were taller). When I drive in from Houston, I still only really see the 50 year old Tower of the America s, which frankly isn t exactly beautiful. This could have been a real iconic building, like The Devon Tower in OKC, but Weston allowed Frost to dictate the floor plates so it s height was limited and for reasons that are perplexing, the building has no spire or tapered roof. When I look at Pelli s, Frost Tower, all I see is a real missed opportunity. I guess something is better than nothing, high praise indeed
