Goodbye hole in the ground, hello rising core! Downtown Denver’s largest project is officially out of the ground.

Watching a project like 1144 Fifteenth Street is quite the journey. From the ground-breaking ceremony to watching giant foundation piers go down over 100 feet and needing aerial coverage for peeking in the hole, we can finally see this 40-story, 603-foot tall tower rise from the street.

So what’s next for 1144 Fifteenth Street? The parking structure, which will rise 12-stories. This will be the slowest rising segment due to the concrete framing and structural support that is needed.

How about a couple of bonus photos! Here is one from the good folks over at Hines.
