1001 17th Street Construction Update
As reported back in June, the former Qwest tower at 17th and Arapahoe on Block 096 in Downtown Denver is undergoing a complete renovation, including the reconstruction of a new lobby and retail space along the tower's 17th Street side. The new addition is making progress, with exterior glass now being installed. Here's a photo from this weekend:
The new space will be a welcome addition to the pedestrian environment along 17th Street. The project is being developed by Miller Global Properties, the building's new owner.

Yeow! Talk about a design for a building that's totally incompatible with the one that's next to it....The bigger question, of course, is what's going to go inside it. Maybe Office Depot????

Better that what was there, but still not quite that impressed.

I agree, it doesn't seem to be at all coordinated with the building it's joining. Maybe some sort of connecting theme will become clear when it's finished. Still, I'm happy to see the end of the old menacing dark heavy overhang and plaza that couldn't be seen from the street level, and the arrival of something more light and transparent.
