San Antonio<\/strong>\u2014Weston Urban, KDC and TRT Holdings Inc. are developing Frost Tower in San Antonio, but someone\u2019s got to build the 440,000-square-foot office structure\u2014and that someone has been identified as Clark Construction. Clark won the contract to construct the trophy property, which is already underway.<\/p>\n

Frost Tower in San Antonio<\/p><\/div>\n

News of Clark\u2019s coming aboard the project emerges just two months after TRT came forward to provide joint venture equity<\/a> for the endeavor, and roughly two years after the developers completed a rather complex land transfer<\/a> arrangement with the city, effectively clearing a hurdle to the project\u2019s commencement. It\u2019s a prestigious assignment; Clark is tasked with building what will be the first office structure to rise in downtown San Antonio since 1989.<\/p>\n

Upon completion, the 23-story Frost Tower will feature 20,000 square feet of retail space and a 400,000-square-foot wraparound parking facility at its base. The high-rise\u2019s impending impact on the city\u2019s skyline took on a new sense of reality last year with the release of celebrated architectural firm Pelli Clarke Pelli\u2019s striking design<\/a> of a 400-foot tall building somewhat suggestive of a loose spiral. Frost Tower will add a shock to San Antonio\u2019s downtown architecture, evoking images of an icy glass cylinder appearing as though it could use its fa\u00e7ade of vertical blades and its jagged dome to twist right off the foundation and propel into the stratosphere, leaving behind a blue glow.<\/p>\n

In addition to an ethereal hue, the LEED Silver-certified building will bring highly coveted Class AA office space to the San Antonio market. As JLL, the commercial real estate firm heading up leasing of the property, noted in a 2016 report: \u201cExcitement around the development of Frost Tower indicates that interest in trophy space is strong and downtown San Antonio may be on the verge of the urban renewal wave that has revitalized many urban cores across the country.\u201d Frost Bank has already staked a claim to the anchor position, having pre-leased 250,000 square feet for its corporate headquarters.<\/p>\n

With Clark at the helm, Frost Tower is on track to reach substantial completion in March 2019.<\/p>\n
