I'm also surprised that suburban enclaves like Mesa (approaching 500,000), Chandler, Scottsdale, Glendale, and Gilbert, (Approximately 250,000) haven't tried to come up with a semi-rival skyline, kinda like what Evanston, White Plains, Bellevue, and Clayton has successfully done.

Tempe has Phoenix's semi-rival skyline. And that is where most of the urban development in their metro is going. Tempe has the same issues as downtown with regards to height and the airport. I wonder if Midtown has the same restrictions. If not that will probably grow into the supertall skyline if it ever comes to Phoenix.
