The history of skyscrapers in San Antonio began with the construction of the Tower Life Building (originally the Smith-Young Tower) in 1928, which is often regarded as the first skyscraper in the city. Proposed towers in the central city are Villita Tower a 32-story residential tower,[1] Canopy by Hilton, a 24-story tower on the Riverwalk[2] and the 21-story Thompson Hotels & Residences.[3] In early October 2017, notice of a 900 ft/274m Ferris wheel/observation wheel was given to the FAA for an area south of Downtown San Antonio.
