This sort of mindset assumes that anything that you personally consider overbuilding shouldn't be built.

As far as I can tell, this project is going to be entirely privately funded. As I said earlier, I'll believe it when shovels hit the dirt, but if they raise the money, I'm all for it. Why can't they take the risk?

No, that point was reached many years ago.

You're saying you feel Denver is already overbuilt? That's laughable. If it were we wouldn't have record low vacancy.

Denver isn't even close to overbuilt. The people who think we are overbuilt are the ones who still miss our cow town image. We are finally catching up

Yes, I do. As long as you think endless expansion and population growth is good, then you will think it is underbuilt.

Not true. I think the definition of underbuilt is not having enough space to accommodate the people here/moving here.

Over built as of today, or overbuilt as in 4-5 years?

There are a lot of projects in the pipeline. It isn't really unreasonable to question the future since population growth is slowing down, and the building keeps increasing. We are currently catching up on the lack of development from years past, but eventually we will level off. I'm more concerned about a possible recession. It would suck to be hit by a bad one while this thing was in the middle of being constructed...sitting vacant for a few years.

Denver needs to stop eliminating parking. It's becoming a huge problem.
