It is 698ft high, the third tallest building in Denver. It is shorter than the Republic Plaza building 714ft and the CenturyLink Tower, at 709ft. The building sits on a hill, making its overall elevation higher than the two taller buildings, but its ground-to-roof height is less.

As it was originally designed for a downtown area in Texas, a heated roof is necessary to prevent snow from accumulating and sliding dangerously off the curved crown.
