Hardhats never looked cooler than when Team Turner helped the Four Seasons Private Residences Denver top off its new 45-story building yesterday morning.

Denver city officials, local media, the building’s developers and a healthy dose of Turner were present at the topping ceremony that saw the Four Seasons’ 75-foot “mast” get lifted slowly from the ground to the top of the building.

The sight itself would have been enough for most people, but the Four Seasons took it a step further by inviting all attendees to sign the mast itself. Permanent markers were passed around and after a few minutes of giddy scrawling, the freshly autographed mast was ready to be borne away.

We retreated across the street for a better look while others sought a view from a higher perch. Passersby saw the assembly of people and watched as well. I’d like to think that everyone in Denver stopped typing/eating/jaywalking to watch the mast get lifted in the air – but I’m a silly romantic.
