Stories: 30
Year: 1974		 The Executive Tower enjoys a location directly across the street from the Denver Performing Arts Complex and close proximity to the Colorado Convention Center. The building, however, has fallen from prominence in Denver and is considered one of the most depressed high-rises in the city.

Fortunately, with the renaissance of the area, thanks in no small part to the expansion of the convention center, the tower will soon undergo a massive renovation that will include removing the building's facade, stripping it down to its shell, and completely remodeling the building inside and out. The latest available renderings of what the new facade will look like are below.

In the 1980s, urban renewal threatened to demolish the tower as it had the adjoining 4-story department store to make way for the Tabor Center. Massive public outcry saved the building, and today the D&F Tower is one of Denver's most treasured landmarks.
