I don't know -- the link provided says that maximum build out would be 425,663 sq. ft. with a far of 17:1 - not tall at all even if you throw in 6/8 stories of parking. Not sure how you're ever going to have an affordable (or even somewhat affordable) city to live in with FARs like those in the core.

Yeah your right 425,663 isn't all that much for a supertall and its kinda sad that another wasted opportunity could be at hand although its good another parking lot could be on its way out (I think I could count on one hand the surface parking lots that zoning allows a possible supertall on-other than that you would have to demo something historically significant which would lead to bigtime legal challenges).
As for a new Denver tallest-my gut feeling is that it might not be much over 800 or 850 mostly because of what the market dictates (Denver getting a 1000 footer is about as much a given as Sacramento getting a Ford or General Motors high-tech electric car/light truck plant-yes Sacramento and the state is courting Ford, GM and even Chrysler with big $$$ insentives although I believe that those plants are likely to go to sites near the new Tesla plant near Reno NV).

Looks like I picked the right day to start sniffing glue---I mean, start following skyscraperpage. Oh, the things I've imagined for this forlorn patch of asphalt. Same for the one just up the street.

Yes I think the site your talking about is where the old Kenmark Hotel once stood just across the ally from the Denver Club Building...
