The Tallest Skyscraper in Denver is the Republic Plaza, which stands 714 feet and reaches 56 Stories.

Holding the spot for the tallest structure in the western mountain region of the United States, since it was finished in 1984. Product of the ever so propelling force, know as the "energy boom"--which was an abundant time for building as there were 14 skyscrapers added into downtown during this period.
