I know that sometimes good people make honest mistakes. But really. How could anyone possibly think that someone would build a tower with 13 floors of shops and restaurants?

We have a hard enough time making second-floor retail work in Downtown, let alone 13 floors' worth! I don't think you'd see 13 floors of retail even in Manhattan.

How could these reporters possibly think that information is correct? Did CBS repeat what Fox said without verification? Where did they get that information from in the first place? Certainly nothing from Hines says anything about 13 floors of retail, and the Denver Post, the Denver Business Journal, DenverInfill, and BusinessDen all reported it correctly.

Unbelievable.
Isn't the building more like $300 million? Not the $141 million quoted in the Fox story?
