For a long time, Honolulu had some kind of height restriction that limited buildings to 350 feet, so a lot of their buildings from that time are that height. It made for kind of a boring building height list. So, I'm cool with it when they don't hit some magic number. Still, I'm sure TheATX is right, and this one probably will be taller than that height. It's also early in its development, so things could change. I've learned to not take things too seriously or for granted.

This appears to be an expanded image of the first rendering on post #7 in this thread. From the recent ABJ article covering 37 towers downtown.

The site plan was posted to the AULCC page today for this.

The elevations show it to be 510 feet 8 inches to the top of the main roof parapet with 45 floors.

Normally I would say, "Yay! We now have 18 500' plus projects in the pipeline."

500 feet on our skyline is starting to look short.

I have some that I modeled as closely to what I thought their heights would be, but without an actual number from elevations, I don't keep them "turned on" with the rest of the models. That area of downtown is going to be nuts in a few years, assuming all these actually move forward. 7 towers in all including the Tommie Hotel and Block 16 Tower.

If this building and all the others, along with the two ATX Towers and Block 190 tower happens, we'll have more buildings over 500 feet than Dallas does with 21. They have 20 at the moment, including AMLI Fountain Place.

Such a game changer for that stretch of Colorado. It’s going to tower over everything.

That article with the rendering is from March 13. We're slacking on here.

Here is an interesting quote at the end of that article. It makes one wonder what more could be in planning that we aren't aware of.
Quote:
As downtown’s high-rise building boom has seen buildings rise ever taller and become more costly, both to build and to live in, Heimsath previously has remarked: “We are entering into an era where we’re planning projects that would be at home in Dubai or Singapore or London in terms of their scale and expense. It really is astounding.”

Tower portion looks a lot like the other Hanover project. Not bad, but the base had me hoping the rest of the tower would be more interesting, maybe repeat that motif w/ the overlapping brown rectangles (screens?).
