See downtown Denver as it could have been. This gallery of unbuilt skyscraper projects is the work of countless hours of research, digging through old newspaper archives and contacting architects to obtain renderings. Had the real estate crash not hit Denver in the 1980s, the city's skyline would have been significantly bigger.
 
This tour is a chronoligical photo essay of Denver from the days of its humble beginnings in the 1860s and continuing up to today. The photos are in order of date, so photo after photo you will see Denver evolve into the city it is today.






Not every structure in Denver is a shiny office building. In this special feature, we take a break from the corporate glass towers and show you the true grit and industrial might of the Mile High City. Included are the Conoco refinery, the Coors Brewery, the old Gates Rubber plant and power plants.
 
Yes, we could have included Trango Tower in our "Unbuilt Towers" feature, but we here at DenverSkyscrapers.com are still holding out hope that developer W. Scott Moore's vision for Denver's tallest tower will eventually rise. As far as we know, he is still pushing this project.




When you look at how similar these cities are, you might think they were separated at birth. We take a look at the shocking similarities between Denver and Calgary, Alberta. There is a reason, after all, why Calgary is called "Denver North". Are these cities the true North American "Twin Cities"? *UNDER CONSTRUCTION* Check back soon!
