A sky park 12 floors above street level will be part of downtown's Capitol Tower when it opens in 2019. Skanska, which is developing the 35-story office building with Bank of America as the lead tenant, revealed the green roof as a sustainability feature. The 24,000-square-foot park, which represents the size of about half a city block, will provide views of Pennzoil Place, 712 Main and Esperson. Winding paths bordered by native plants and grasses and shaded by arbors and roofs, will provide a spot for tenants and private corporate events. "It will be very transparent to look out over the edge," said Matt Damborsky, executive vice president for Skanska Commercial Development.
