After all, they're going to own our brains fairly soon, so it would be nice to know if they have benign intentions.
Don't forget there are quite a few tech companies with offices DT which has set the trend over the past few years, though none of them warrant a single large high rise tower on their own. I am guessing Google will be the largest in DT in terms of number of tech workers.

This 4th @ Colorado rendering just gets worse and worse every time I look at it. I just can't get past the parking garage, I can't do it.

If we really have had an influence with getting some developers to alter their final designs with a couple recent buildings as some have theorized, then I hope someone who may be involved with this proposal is monitoring the thread....

It's hideous! Change it!!!
