Hello Marc-Antoine,
I don't have a Theta, but do have a 24mm. Here's a few photos of the surrounding areas.
1) From across the street (17th Street) looking North. The center tower is where the Pentax offices are. The partial building on the left (West) is the Marriott Hotel.
Behind the tower is the Downtown Hyatt Hotel, can't see it in this view.
2) Here I walked West down 17th and shot back towards 633 17th, so we're looking East. See the 'California Street' sign? That's where I took the next two from, standing right under that sign. This is a wide-angle shot from the same location I posted earlier on this thread, that one used a 100mm.
3) From 633 17th Street, looking West, towards the mountains.
4) From 633 17th Street, looking East. The silver tower, near-center, is on Broadway + 17th, 6 blocks East.
17th Street, as you can see, is the financial center of Denver. Nearly every bank that has a Western office is represented here. One block South is the main East-West street, 16th. That's the infamous '16th Street Mall', an all-commercial pedestrian and (free) shuttle bus shopping and dining area, over a mile long.
So the Pentax Admin offices are very centrally located in Downtown and easily accessible from any direction. There's connections by light rail, city bus, auto and the mall shuttle. If you find an overhead view or map of Denver, just count 6 block West from Broadway on 17th, North/East corner. That's it!
Hope this helps,
Ron
