View Full Version : #288 l Republic Plaza l DENVER l 218m l 56fl
BGT April 28th, 2003, 11:30 PM Republic Plaza
Denver, USA
HEIGHT: 218m/714 feet
FLOORS: 56 floors
COMPLETION: 1984
ARCHITECT: Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill (SOM)
Denver's tallest skyscraper has been standing proud as the tallest building in Colorado and the entire Mountain West region of the United States since its completion in 1984.
Cast of smooth sardinian granite, the 56-story tower was completed in 1984 during Denver's Energy Boom, that famous real estate building frenzy of the 1980s that pushed most of downtown's skyline into the sky.
Republic Plaza contains 1,239,000 square feet of office space, a significant amount of which is leased to TIAA-CREF, law firms and banks.

Boring, almost identical to New Orleans' tallest.
Evergrey April 29th, 2003, 01:43 AM ew... looks like it was build in 1964!

A forgettable building.
DamienK May 1st, 2003, 04:41 PM 6.5/10. Looks better from the narrow side.
TropicalSQ744 May 10th, 2003, 12:45 PM Very boxy and the facade is just boooring!! Blends in with other scrapers well but does not give a deep impression on u.. :)
5.5/10
New Jack City May 11th, 2003, 03:06 AM 7/10...It's ok, the white on black facade and window combo worked well.
X-seed 4000 May 11th, 2003, 04:07 AM It's better than your average box. 5.5/10

huaiwei May 28th, 2003, 11:45 AM Boxes get my lower scores..3.5 for this one...a further penalty for having the same name as the tallest building in Singapore....but not matching up well with its other namesake...:)
james2390 August 11th, 2003, 07:21 PM 7, not much to say about this one
AtlanticaC5 August 21st, 2003, 06:36 PM 4.5/10
Reminds me very much of the Water Tower Place in Chicago.
il fenomeno August 28th, 2003, 12:22 PM another box -1
SUNNI August 29th, 2003, 12:40 PM another box?
4/10
Liz L August 29th, 2003, 09:37 PM 6/10 - Well, there's good contrast between stone and windows, the facade seems to be able to catch the light well *at least sometimes*, and it has some height...
But it is a rather humdrum box, I'm afraid, if not the ugliest I've seen...
airsickpenthousedweller September 3rd, 2003, 12:56 AM It has character and doesn't seem daunting, exhibitionistic or boring.....therefore:
7.5/10
de flatneuroot September 6th, 2003, 08:21 PM 8,5/10 simple but very nice.
Labrador September 7th, 2003, 09:04 PM 6.5/10
This is a very average building, because it has no distinctive features and could easily be mistaken for many other boxes. However, it isn't ugly, and has a good height.
:)
SFtoBoise September 9th, 2003, 12:48 AM 5.5/10
Just like New Orleans' tallest building.
Patrick September 10th, 2003, 02:15 PM 3,5 b'n'b bad and boring
SeeMacau September 11th, 2003, 12:36 PM boxy and looks nice

It's not ugly, it is just not nice.
asian_horizon May 6th, 2004, 05:04 AM 6/10
yeah its kinda boxy. but that is okay but the thing it looks mundane, no special or uniqueness about it.
7 World Trade June 18th, 2004, 03:35 AM wow, never realized that it's actually from the postmodern era! i like how this building's got a reflective facade, even though its excess boxiness is not that good...

biguc July 29th, 2004, 09:28 PM i don't know why they included the narrow black horizontal lines. the building could have been cool and monolithic, but they break up the facade.
Winus August 12th, 2004, 04:38 PM Nice top, nice reflections. 7/10

Monkey November 14th, 2004, 03:25 PM Simple clean facade, and plenty of height.
Needs better lighting at night though.

Medo April 9th, 2005, 01:16 PM Lovely box. 8
Jasonhouse April 12th, 2005, 01:53 AM Another bland box, in a bland, boxy skyline. But this is what you get with SOM in that era. At least the facade wasn't done in one of the popular red, brown or umber hues Denver seems to love adorning its buildings in...At least it is large, powerful and stable looking. It would make a great building for a bank, defense contractor or oil company to be locate offices in. This building was clearly built with one thing in mind: profit.
5.5/10
superskyline May 1st, 2005, 07:17 PM Simple, but it looks great. I like the facade - It keeps the look simple but makes it look very "rich"
8/10
Minneapolitan May 11th, 2005, 05:12 AM A box. Ive been increasingly starting to appreciate boxes more in the last year or so. Probably my fav of the talls in Denver.

We have a very similar building in Minneapolis. Fortunately for us, we have 3 buildings taller than it that are all stunning. Feast your eyes on 33 South Sixth.
