List of tallest buildings in Phoenix
Phoenix, the capital of the U.S. state of Arizona, has 58 completed high-rises taller than 200 ft. The tallest building in Phoenix is the 40-story Chase Tower, completed in 1972 with 38 habitable floors rising to 483 ft. 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 ft. Of the 25 tallest buildings in Arizona, 22 are located in Phoenix. 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 ft and ten floors. The Westward Ho was completed in 1927. This 16-floor, 208 ft structure stood as the tallest in Phoenix until 1960. 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 ft.
