707 17th Street, formerly known as the MCI Building and Arco Tower, and now known as the Jacobs Building is a
Denver, Colorado. The building was completed in 1981, and rises 42 floors and 522 feet (159 m) in height.[2] The building stands as the seventh-tallest building in Denver as of 2018[update]. It also stood as the tallest building in the city at the time of its 1981 completion, and held that distinction for two years until it was surpassed by the 709-foot (216 m) 1801 California Street in 1983.[3]
707 17th Street was known as MCI Plaza until 2005;
Jacobs Engineering Group[6]) signed a deal to lease 86,000 square feet (8,000 m2) of office space.[5] This deal was one of the largest office transactions in Denver in 2006.[5]
Jacobs has merged with CH2M Hill and has since merged into their headquarters in south Denver and no longer have their signage on the building.
While the upper 22 floors of the building contain office space, the lowest 20 floors of 707 17th Street contain a hotel that was originally known as the Denver Marriott City Center, but was renamed the Hilton Denver City Center on December 1, 2017.[7] The hotel contains 613 guest rooms and suites.[2][8] As the building consists of both commercial and hotel space, it is classified as a mixed use skyscraper.[1]
707 17th Street has a somewhat unusual "setfront" design, rather than the usual
international-style "black box" architecture.[1]
