That Denver design looks nice, but it is still a smallish office tower built on top of a parking podium that will probably be more visible when the building is completed. What is the deal with the parking podiums on all the new construction? Is it a way for developers to avoid digging deep and expensive garages and still meet minimum parking space requirements for new structures. I am sure this has been discussed here before, but I guess I was not paying attention.
