Phoenix, the capital of the U.S. state of Arizona, has 23 buildings standing at least 295 feet (90 m).[1] The tallest building in Phoenix is the 40-story Chase Tower, completed in 1972 with 38 habitable floors rising to 483 feet (147 m).[2] It is also the tallest building in Arizona. The second-tallest building in the city and the state is the U.S. Bank Center, which rises 407 feet (124 m).[3] Of the 25 tallest buildings in Arizona, 22 are located in Phoenix.[4] However, none of them are among the tallest in the United States.
The history of tall buildings in Phoenix began with the completion in 1924 of the Luhrs Building; the structure rose 138 feet (42 m) and ten floors. The Westward Ho was completed in 1927.[5] This 16-floor, 208-foot (63 m) structure stood as the tallest in Phoenix until 1960.[5] Midtown Phoenix went through a building boom in the early 1960s, resulting in the completion of six high-rises, including the Phoenix Corporate Center and 4000 North Central Avenue. The 1970s brought development back to Downtown Phoenix and saw the completion of five major high-rises, including the two tallest buildings in the city: Chase Tower and the U.S. Bank Center. The next major period of development occurred in both districts and lasted from 1980 to the early 1990s. In this time period, 9 of the city's current 25 tallest buildings were constructed, including Century Link Tower, BMO Tower and Renaissance Square.
While high-rise construction didn’t entirely stop, development slowed considerably until 2007 when Downtown gained five more high-rises within three years, including the 1,000-room Sheraton Grand Phoenix and the 34-story 44 Monroe apartment tower.
Currently, the Downtown Phoenix skyline is growing at a rapid pace with dozens of high-rises under construction, approved or proposed. The most recently completed high-rise is Derby, a residential-use tower that rises 21 stories and 240 feet (73 m).
