Best New Building (Past Five Years)

Frost Bank Tower

Her topping-out ceremony was held in May 2003, and since then, this 515-foot-9-inch-tall beauty has topped this poll while redefining Austin's new-century skyline. With the recent thrust of high-rise rectangles all over our hyperdeveloping Downtown, this might be the Frost's last year as Austin's tallest building, but with her distinct tiara of 45,000 square feet of glass, her majesty will continue to reign above the rest.
