Frost Bank Tower

Cousins Properties of Texas is developing a 33-story (515’) office building with 525,000 sq. ft. (leasable), including street level retail. Tenants include Jenkins & Gilchrist, Winstead, Sechrest & Minick, and Constructors and Associates.

Architectural Amenities:
This 515-foot tall structure has been sculpted to create a building form that begins at its rectangular base and steps into a square point tower at its crown. The ground floors of the building base are expressed in a honed finish limestone. The office tower will be clad in a low-e glass skin with a spandrel glass to match in color. The column covers and accent mullions will be light in color to unify and enhance the verticality of the structure. The tapered massing of the building will culminate in a translucent glass crown. The layered, folded panes of the building corners gently step back and inward to create the segmented pyramidal form. the luminous volume of glass at the top will provide a clearly recognizable symbol in the skyline of Austin.

Construction began in January 2002 and will be completed in January 2004.

The project is at 401 Congress Avenue, on the east side of Congress Avenue, between 4th St. and the Mexic-Arte Museum at 5th and Congress.
