Can anyone identify Denver's skyscrapers very well?  I visited in June and have a few photos I'm trying to tag and identify...most of these can be seen from the lower 16th Street Mall, meaning they're probably on 17th, 18th, or Broadway.

 

Here are the pics.  Thanks!

The GHOST is back!!!

 

Anyway...

Seen the building a million times; dunno what it's called.

Middle one is One Tabor Center.

Bottom one is 1600 Glenarm Place.

I deserve that.  I am a freaking ghost.

 

Who do we know who lives in Denver...or knows Denver?  I mean, this is approaching the civic district of Denver...next thread will have a Puerto Rican Day spread from Denver's Civic Center Park.  But just outside of it, all of the urban renewal towers built between 1968 and 1983 (right?).

 

All I can say is that I always fly over Denver from the SE to the NW, usually around evening, and it looks amazing from the plane.

I know "old" Denver enough (pre-2000s) but the "new" Denver not so much.  Stopped paying attention to the yuppie boxes being built.

I was in Denver for a work trip last month. Endless new construction, almost all of which looked like The Banks. I'm jealous of the quantity of urban infill, but the quality, not so much. Downtown felt far too "70s and 80s urban renewal" for my liking but it definitely had some great elements like the light rail (jealous) and the density of infill.

From what I understand, dozens of blocks were being leveled in the 1960s-1980s for urban renewal.  That's why Larimer Square and a lot of LoDo is so important.
