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.

While it's true that downtown Phoenix's skyline isn't spectacular in comparison to other city skylines, let's not pretend as though not much is going on in the pipeline. Downtown has seen a tremendous difference in the past few years and will continue to moving forward. Tempe has exploded as well.
