This would really look great – as long as it was taller than Four Seasons – it would fit really well and rise above the other buildings in the area. This would be cool! With The Spire and Four Seasons nearing completion, our construction crews are going to need jobs and this will keep em busy for a while.. Plus, since so many more people will be living downtown there will be greater demand for cetralized office locations. Its coming. Soon. Angled roof or no, you better hold on to your hats.

They got rid of the angled roof! That was the coolest part, it echoed the shape of the mountains and would've made it the most recognizable building in denver, along with philip johnsons' cash register. this is bullshit bean counters trying to save money.

I think the majority of you lack vision and understanding in the complexity of these projects. I also think that this proposed design could still be on of the most interesting towers in the skyline. Not that, that says a lot, but its better than one of two other popular options: a)10 stories with no ground floor retail space, or b)made of stucco and some nasty DTC-esque version of a high rise mixed with a hospital.

Lets take it for what its worth and keep em coming!

Do you think this will EVER happen? Come one. Project in Denver are being canned left and right.

It will never happen. If it were going to it would have started already.

My understanding is roofs now have to have some stylish garnish. Modern skyscapers have too much mechanical stuff up there and all new buildings are glassing them in and incorporating some stylus splash.

Forgive the lack of architectural jargon.

Also, the building is going to LEED Silver or maybe Gold. To a tree-hugger like me, that is exciting. I just want to see this built.

If anybody has seen the final site elevations (on skyscraperpage forums), the building does NOT have a flat roof. It isn't the same as the 2nd set of renderings we all saw, but it does have architectural interest. It is a matter of personal opinion which design is better, but there IS architectural detail on the roof in the final version.

I have a theory:

The design team was flirting with us, and we fell for them! Once the DNC was over, and Denver was no longer in the spotlight, CCP unveiled their REAL plans! It all makes sense now! (kidding)

I couldn't agree more with most of the comments so far – disappointing, bland, zero vision, insulting, recycled, cheap box . . all of these new or planned buildings seem to be suffering from BUFRS (Boring, Unimaginative, Flat Roof Syndrome)

Ken,
What's up with the Denver cityscapes website? Do they have a new URL?
