- Estimated cost
- ≈ $600M–1B for an ~245 m mixed-use tower.
- Footprint
- ~3,000 m² footprint on a full CBD block; ~700 ft with a public observation level.
- Who would lead it
- Private developer + institutional capital; CPD for entitlement.
- How it gets financed
- Private + TIF for the affordable-housing and public-realm components.
- Timeline
- ~5–7 years.
- Precedent
- Republic Plaza (current tallest, ~218 m); Salesforce Tower (SF).
- Why here
- A marquee tower with public space signals confidence and adds density where transit already exists.
- The hard parts
- Wind, FAA height near DEN flight paths, and financing a supertall in a soft office market — hence the housing-heavy program.
