Were One Mile High and the Reliance Center proposed for the same site, just at different times?

I'm trying to attach a photo I just found of the building model. Anyone know what building, to the right in the model, abutted the proposed atrium. I assume whatever that building was, it's long gone.
Not only do I love Denver (I'm probably more psyched about downtown Denver than anyone else on this forum--just try me...), but I'm researching an alternative history novel. And fiction or not, I want the details of my setting to be as accurate as possible. That's why I'm trying to pinpoint this particular building. It's the only one of the many NeverBuilts that I've found whose exact site and situation isn't clearly evident in the renderings.
Thanks again to all who responded!
Great Guccifer, I can't get the photo URL to upload. It's at gettyimages.com, search: one mile high plaza downtown denver. (I'm really not at blonde as I sound.)
