Thank you all. I honestly believe that over the past months, it has been you who has made the difference. Today, we received a total vote of confidence from the board. This forum that Ken has created provides open discussion, honest criticism, and the wishes and dreams of concerned people who love their city. Keep it up–people are listening. I know I did!!!

I truly believe this building will change the way developers view this city going forward. This is the first big step in Denver being architecturally unique
No more shoeboxes turned sideways!!!
Thanks Buzz! You've already made a lasting impact on the future of this city

A great day for Denver architecture and for visionary people like Buzz… Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright were given the chance in Chicago Architecture by developers in that city's development. 100 years from now, Fentress and Geller will hold the same history to Denver's skyline. Thanks Buzz…

Man, I'm proud of your sticktuitiveness, Buzz. I don't know many developers would've stuck this out through the years in the ringer that you've been put through. Thank you, thank you, thank you for caring enough about this great city to keep up your time-consuming and expensive battle. I know it's going to pay off for Denver, and I hope it pays off for you in spades!!

Good news. To be honest, I've been dumbfounded that until recently – more developers haven't taken advantage of the most serene natural resource around – the very few creeks, rivers, and waterways that interlop through the city. People love water because there is a tranquil beauty about being around it, which is why you see everyone gravitate to that area. I would have thought that the prime real estate locations would have sprouted up along these areas, but it's just now catching on.

I'm sure the 35 multimillionaires who will occasionally be there will truly appreciate that tranquility as they jet hear and back from SE Asia (re Westword).
No complaints on the design, height or the idea of something significant going there. I remain utterly baffled by the exclusivity of it on a key corner where both the city and university are seeking to activate the connection between Auraria and LoDo.

Way to go Buzz. It's a beautiful building. Please try to make it as green as you can. It will help the sales as well. See if you can use the Creek… throw some geothermal cables in the bottom of it and use that to heat and cool your building.

This is a really, really inspiring and encouraging example of what drumming up support for a universally beloved cause (developing our downtown core!) by means like the internet can do. I can honestly say this is one of my prouder moments for Denver – the city that I love. Maybe this will help encourage further developments later on to get rid of all of the parking lots in the face of potentially ridiculous bureaucratic processes.
Thanks for not giving up on this Buzz! I can't wait to walk along Auraria and look up at your tower as it welcomes me to our urban core.

SERIOUSLY!?!?! Did someone compare Curt Fentress to Louis Sullivan and Frank Lloyd Wright?!?! You have to have your head checked. Fentress has done some big projects, but I would hardly consider anything they've done on the same level of the worst FLW or Sullivan building. I guess there is no accounting for taste…or intelligence for that matter.
That's exciting news!
