I like Denver's skyline...8/10

I gave it 8.5 because its a beautiful skyline, and its a really nice city. Hope i can go back soon.. :)

cool I'll give 8/10

A nice compact skyline in beautiful surroundings - and FYI where Frontier Airlines has its corporate head office ;) .

8.5

8/10

Denver has a great skyline, kinda boxy but lots of height and very dense. Downtown is also really active with the Pepsi Center, Coors Field, Six Flags, the U.S. Mint, State Capitol, and Mile High Stadium in and around it, plus lots of residential and retail with more going up all the time. I love the Qwest Tower, cool design. 9/10 for a cool skyline with an even better mountain backdrop.

I'm sure Denver is a great city, but I don't like the skyline at all. It looks very bland. 5.0

very bland? u gotta be kidding me :bash: :D

I love the skyline, one of my favorites actually :cool:

not a very special skyline but decent nad neat enough. well done.
7/10

Ok skyline 7.5

I was very impressed with Denver's skyline. It's only bad angle is from I-25 to the west of Downtown. For the size of the city it is one of the best. The natural backdrop of the rockies is really nice too. Could use some new towers. 8/10

Way too boxy and not very dense due to what looks like a lot of surface parking lots. I hate the Wells Fargo Tower. However it does have some height, and I LOVE 1999 Broadway. Somebody post pics of it!

7/10

4

Of course, the location is awesome... but the skyscrapers look like the worst of 1980's architecture. Qwest and the curved Wells Fargo just don't do it for me!

8

I just got back from Denver last week, and to be honest, I was disappointed. The buildings were very bland, and very suburban. The cool place in downtown was where all the older, less then 5-story buildings were. I don't know, it just didn't really stand out to me as being a good skyline.

5.5

hmm the skyline is kind of average looking.. But somehow its not that bad and not that good either (just average).. Score: 7.5/10

I love it!!! The really big picture is both good and bad. It shows how big the skyline really is, but it sure does not look to dense!!! From most angles, Denver is quite dense!

Where are you guys finding these awful pics of skylines. UGGGGG

You give Denver no justice. Denver is a awesome skyline. I give it a 8.

I'd rate it better, but then those aerial made me change.

BUilding are a little bland in feauters
and kinda boxy but there is some height over the density.
WHich I always like
Strong but small skyline with an mountain backdrop.

7.5/10. The first pc is cool :cool:

I think from the ground it looks good. But man, those areials are nasty! 7/10 it looks like one big parking lot

I like the skyline, also the city is beautiful! 8/10

The skyline is kind of good, but some towers are very boxy

8/10

quite modern and very compact buildings
8,5/10

7/10. I like how the skyscrapers are spread out, it feels more open, but a lot of them are boxy and there aren't enough for such a large city. Do any of them have an obsservation deck?

Denver skyline has beautiful and Rocky Mountain helped nice view for Denver background. I gave 8/10 for this city

6.5
I'm not to impressed by the skyline. The color scheme is horribly bland. I don't think there would be any difference in a b/w photo and a color. The mountains and the vibrant nature of the downtown area make up for the lack of interesting architecture. The pedestrian mall seems incredibly successful which over time will hopefully allow for some much needed new construction downtown.

Not bad, quite dense but buildings are boring :sly:
7/10

I like the aerial shots. The different angle of the street grids make this skyline somewhat interesting from the ground. Nice 8.5/10

the skyscrapers looks way too boxy here 4 out of 10

Denver looks good.
7.5/10

8 + 0.5 for this view:
http://www.denvercityscape.50megs.com/downtown4703.jpeg

8.5/10

The towers in Denver ain't what it should be,but the skyline is ok
7.5/10

Mr. Detroit, you should have had me show you around!

Anyways, I agree with a lot of you, our skyline needs a boost, but overall I love Denver. The scenery helps a lot... a couple more towers, and we'll be in another league. There are many many smaller projects going on which help the street life. Now we just need the landmark buildings!

Not bad but needs a taller skyscraper like the NEW FOUR SEASONS Denver

nice skyline but is it me or is it still the same skyline that existed 20 even 25 years ago? i know that denver has been building a lot of fantastic municipal buildings, linear parks and transit facilities but it seems like the business community needs to step up and BUILD SOMETHING

it's very compact:)it's between 8, and 8.5

Wow denver looks a lot like Calgary! With the same kind of buildins and the rockies and the flatness in areas reminds of Calgary a lot.

8/10... What a nice surprise--I never knew Denver had that nice of a skyline.

6.5/10

I love Denver and its sky line. Too bad there are no new photos of it so much has changed in the last 2 years and by the sound of it a lot more will be going on in the next 3 to 5 years YEAH

If some one has a "NEW" photo of the sky line at night taken from I-25 & Colfax that would boost up the rating "I Garin Tee"

It looks alittle "plain" to me, but it's not bad! :)

I have it a 8!

7/10

Ahhh Denver, one of my favourite cities in the States. The skyline's good, the people are nice, and has a high quality of life. An eight out of ten. ;)

A very unique skyline, especially great with the mountain backdrop. I give it a 7.5/10. :okay:

A nice, dense, modern skyline with a mountain backdrop... it doesn't get much better. 9.

7.5/10

The Arial picture reminds me of Los Angeles

Denver's skyline dissapoints because it doesn't have a signature tower. Yes, Quest is the tallest, but can you get anymore dull?? The density is great and teh Rockies add a lot, but overall, so what? Much like Indy (albeit Indy doesn't have as much height), but no architectural stand-out.

I didn't know that Denver had an observation tower. When I was there I never noticed it. How long has it been up?

A couple more pics...

Denver has awesome heightage, pretty good density, and those rocky mountains add nicely to the scenery around there. 8.5/10

Several buildings with similar height which make the skyline consistant.

I just cannot wait until Four Seasons or el jebel start...!!!

Denver has one of my favourite american skyline.. 8.5

7/10

7.5

The city has some height, and appears to have some density too. Aerial shots showing the attack of the parking lots show that there are pockets of density, and then a lot of empty space. Surely a lot of potential for the future there. Buildings themselves are mostly quite old, therefore needs some new infill developments to increase the score.

8/10

7/10

7/10

Impressive skyline and scenery. 8/10

8.5/10

Never been to Denver, but I've always heard nice things. The skyline is extremely boxy with a plethora of flat-topped towers. No real standouts, as previous posters mentioned.

One or two signature buildings 60+ floors would make the skyline sizzle.

7

So many places I'd like to visit, so many cities I'd want to see, and Denver would absolutely be one of them. 10/10

Awsome skyline pic from comoneymaker over at the Interior West SSP forums.

8/10. Underrated skyline, but there's always room for improvement.

6.5/10

Not very good... additional .5 for being "Le Ville de Haut de Mille en l'Etats Unis"

Nice ordered cluster. Reminds me of MN.

Denver has a great cluster and good density, but damn...could the buildings be any more bland and boring? BOXES EVERYWHERE! There needs to be a "signature" tower of sorts.

8/10

Seems not bad to me, at least the skyline got some density.

6.5/10

very cool. 8.5. it looks like my home towns big bro. calgary that is.

8/10

I dunno, Denver's skyline is starting to look a little "old".

8, Denver looks like it has a cool looking skyline.

How I love Denver...always had MANY great times there!! Especially at Red Rocks, seeing lots of hippie bands :laugh:

Even though the sprawl in Denver is huge, including the airport which is in the middle of nowhere (still a very sweet AP) I still love that city.

Call me crazy but isn't Denver much bigger than Calgary. The Albertan city is much more impressive! 5

Call me crazy but isn't Denver much bigger than Calgary. The Albertan city is much more impressive! 5

Yes, but Calgary's skyline is larger and more impressive than most cities 3-5 times its size, no matter what part of the world you're in. Calgary is filthy rich and they're a huge business center.

9!

no very skyline but pretty

Bashing American cities again I see. :|

There is just no way this city should get a 4 looking at that skyline. Maybe Monterrey Mexico should for having less of a skyline. But wait...

the third City of my country has a 10


I say Denver deserves at least an 8.5/10 for having a decent skyline. :)

It looks better in person imo. It's great. And ferguz, just stop posting (on American skylines)...you're embarrasing yourself :ohno:

^ Eh the mods will catch on eventually and just ban his account. If enough of us complain he'll be outta here by tommorow. Ferguz, I guess you didn't like SSC.com that much since you're getting yourself looking to get urself knocked off for good.

Denver's skyline deserves more than a 4/10:

There is just something about the Denver skyline that just does it for me! :)

I love Denver. Its probably because I grew up in Salt Lake. Going to Denver was like going to "the big city" for me. 7.0

I dont understand how the skylines get judged! Very biased opinions on this site to me. I respect others opinions but, who honestly rates this skyline as a 5 or even a 6. Again to each his/her own but being fair is priceless! Also, I notice alot of hate for American cities in general from non- Americans. I gave it a 9!!

Its not really a 9 when NYC and hong kong r 10's.
9's are Shanghai, Sydney, toronto etc.

Welcome to skyscrapercity lol

...seems to be an attitude that the U.S cities are automatically disliked. Whats the criteria here,opinion or is it about number of buildings or design of buildings? Im perplexed to say the least!!! Thanks for the support buddy and the laugh, I thought it was just me. The U.S has no friends in any form anymore.

Nice skyline in what I hear is one of the nicest US cities.
Those pics with the mountains in the background really remind me of Calgary.

Looks like a mini-Calgary.

Calgary is bigger than Denver? I'm pretty sure they're about the same size, at least they are skyscraper wise


Anyway, Denver has a really great skyline I think, 8/10 for a city of it's size.

I'd say that while Calgary is more dense, Denver definitely has more skyscrapers, and much nicer ones.

^^ They're actually about even skyscraper wise

Denver has a pretty decent skyline, even by world standards, but it is small for the USA. But for a city of it's size, I am impressed
