At the time of its completion, 633 17th Street was known as "First Interstate Tower North" after First Interstate Bancorp, its primary tenant.[5] After First Interstate merged with Wells Fargo in 1996, the building's address became its official name.[5] First Interstate Tower North was built adjacent to the pre-existing First Interstate Tower South, now known as 621 17th Street, which rises 386 feet (118 m) in height.[6] The two buildings together form the First of Denver Plaza.[7]

Exterior shots of the building were used in the opening credits of the television series Dynasty
