Denver is currently experiencing a mid-high rise residential building boom with several large projects under construction throughout the city and more than 20 new projects breaking ground downtown Denver, golden triangle and RINO in 2023.

The 1144 Fifteenth office tower rises just over 600 feet at over 40 stories making it the fifth-tallest building in Denver upon completion early 2018. It now stands as the fourth-tallest building in Denver as well as the city's tallest residential tower. The tallest building recently completed in Denver is the Four Seasons Hotel and Tower, which rises 45 stories and 641 feet (195 m). As of June 2018, there are 201 completed high-rises in the city. Overall, the skyline of Denver is ranked (based upon existing and under construction buildings over 492 feet (150 m) tall) second in the Mountain States (after Las Vegas) and seventeenth in the United States.

The city is the site of eight skyscrapers over 492 feet (150 m) in height, including two which rank among the tallest in the United States. During this time, 21 of the city's 27 tallest buildings were constructed, including Republic Plaza, 1801 California Street, and the Wells Fargo Center. The city went through a large building boom that lasted from the early 1970s to the mid-1980s. The title of the city's "first skyscraper" is usually given to the Daniels & Fisher Tower, which rises 325 feet (99 m) and was completed in 1910. The history of skyscrapers in Denver began with the completion of the Equitable Building in 1892 this building, rising 143 feet (44 m) and nine floors, was the first high-rise in Denver. Twenty-nine of the thirty tallest buildings in Colorado are located in Denver. The second-tallest skyscraper in the city and the state is 1801 California Street, which rises 709 feet (216 m). It stands as the 137th-tallest building in the United States, and the tallest building in the state of Colorado. The tallest building in Denver is the 56- story Republic Plaza, which rises 717 feet (219 m) and was completed in 1984. The latest permits for the 98 Red River property show heavier construction could potentially kick off by mid-May, but there’s no clear date for an official “groundbreaking” at the moment - not that it really needs one, since it’s immediately clear from a visit to the site that there’s already early work taking place here.Skyline of Denver (Use cursor to identify buildings) In a city so famously resistant to change, it’s a pleasure to see such a sizable contingent of Austinites expressing their enthusiasm for downtown’s ongoing growth - but judging by the images above, this city ain’t seen nothing yet. It shows the Travis and Modern Austin towers that have already broken ground as well as the Ritz and 98 Red River supertall that appears to have already broken ground. This was created by Studioinnovatus and was originally posted on Skyscraper Page. With projects including the Travis, 80 Red River, the Modern Austin condos, the River Street Residences, and the 80 Rainey apartment tower all in various stages of realization nearby, it’s difficult to visualize how the supertall will look against the rest of the pack - enter our aforementioned skyscraper enthusiasts, as user Studioinnovatus cooked up a photoshop with the new renderings we saw this weekend to give us a better idea of the future neighborhood: Image: Lincoln Ventures / Pappageorge Haymes / TBG Partners / Wuest Group
