MCI Plaza - Denver, CO
159 meters
42 floors
1981

At 522', the MCI Tower was once the tallest building in Denver for a brief period in 1981, a title which lasted for only a few months before 1801 California Street surpassed it at nearly 200 feet taller.

Sporting a unqiue design in which the tower bulges at the top and becomes wider, some have termed the feature a "setfront" because it is the complete opposite of the classic setback. The bottom 15 floors of the building, or the narrower portion of the tower, is home to the Marriott City Center Hotel. The uppper floors contain offices, a significant amount of which are leased to anchor tenant MCI.

I really don't like this one. Even it's interesting shaped can't save it. It's overly bulky, and awkward looking, and, IMO, just a box stacked on top of another box.

8/10 for its one heavier box on top of a lighter box design.

8.5/10. I like boxes, but I don't like the color of the glass. To me, this just looks like a large glass thumb.

Cold and bombastic: 7/10
