Looks too stubby to be anywhere near 400 feet. I find it hard to believe that is the rendering for this project. It may have been an earlier version but I would surely hope that if there is a new rendering the design looks better than that.

Also if they want to have accurate placement they should get rid of the building next to it that has the same height.

I'm not a fan of the design as is even if it's an early version it leaves little hope an update would be much better. The new DT office buildings and proposals are unimaginative and boring save for 3rd @ Colorado and it's glass is what saves it for me. The IBC building is okay for its location.

Instead of these short buildings which are more parking garage than office I'd rather see a taller tower with a nice design that would make an impact on the skyline. The more 18 to 28 floor office buildings that are proposed and built the less likely we will see a real office tower like the ones in Houston or Dallas. At this rate I seriously doubt we will see an office building over 33 floors for at least 5 years if not longer.
