Summary edit

Description
English: Denver's second tallest skyscraper was completed in 1983 and serves as the world headquarters for Qwest Communications. The 709 ft, 53-story tower is a collision of two octagonal towers of varying heights, with numerous horizontal and vertical setbacks providing an impressive sculptural form on the Denver skyline. Recently occupied by US West, the former regional phone company for the western United States, the building changed hands and corporate logos when a Denver telecommunications company known as Qwest swallowed up US West in a landmark merger. In a style befitting of the high-flying dot-com economy of the 90s, the three new Qwest logos became the most illuminous objects in downtown Denver, instantly achieving landmark status on the Denver skyline.
