DENVER | The Quincy (1776 Curtis St) | 315 FT / 96 M | 29 FLOORS

999 17th Street is a recent office proposal set to be built on a surface parking lot at 17th and Curtis streets in downtown Denver. The tower was announced by Shea Properties in mid-April of this year and they have since began with the application process, starting with LEED Certification. If built, this tower will help complete the urban canyon of 17th Street in Denver's financial district, or "The Wall Street of the West". The building will contain 350,000 feet of office space and 24 stories. Additionally, a lighted, glass crown will help push this tower to the total height of 390 feet.

Additionally as part of the project, a mixed-use hotel and condo tower will be built on the 18th and Curtis side of the block. This tower will be 31 stories and also 390 feet tall. However, both towers will be joined by an above ground base which will include ground-floor retail and a parking garage, thus making it a single project and structure.

Here is a massing of the whole structure:


Although the project is not yet finalized, it would appear that the towers' heights are unlikely to change drastically. If such a revision is to occur, they will be noted and updated in this thread. Hopefully a construction date is not too far off however; a 12 month window is probably an appropriate time frame.
