Skyline Park's 3.1 acres provide a dramatic foreground for one of Denver's more daring cubist exercises. Three towers, of sixteen, eleven, and seven stories, are united by skylit atriums and many angles, including expansive pedestrian stairs and a mountain-side observation deck. Black anodized aluminum trims large expanses of black-tinted glass for a dramatic contrast to downtown's red brick and gray concrete.
