707 17th Street, Modern office building in Midtown Central Business District, Denver, United States
707 17th Street is a 42-floor, 522-foot (159 m) skyscraper in downtown Denver, completed in 1981. Its black glass façade follows the International Style, and the tower widens at the 21st floor in a "setfront" design. The lower 20 floors hold the 613-room Hilton Denver City Center; the upper 22 floors contain offices.
The building opened in 1981 as Denver's tallest structure at that time. In 1983, a nearby tower surpassed its height and took the top position in the city.
The hotel in the lower floors opened as the Denver Marriott City Center and was renamed the Hilton Denver City Center on December 1, 2017. The office floors above carried the MCI Plaza name until 2005, when Verizon acquired MCI; the building is now called the Jacobs Building.
The building sits in central Denver and is easily accessible by public transit. Its mixed-use design with hotel and office spaces makes it convenient for both visitors and workers.
The structure features an unusual architectural design where it widens at the 21st floor instead of narrowing. This inverted form sets it apart from conventional skyscraper designs.
