Is there some general height limitation covering all of Downtown Phoenix due to the proximity to the airport, or is this dealt with on a case-by-case basis? I'm just wondering if I can ever expect any new towers to break the plateau of the current skyline.
I imagine that if there is a height limit in effect, what we can expect in the future is a still low but broader skyline of many high-rise residential (a la San Diego), and perhaps burgeoning high-rise areas like the Midtown/Central Avenue corridor will see the tallest towers eventually break through. It will certainly give Phoenix a distinctive profile...add the Pin Tower to that and you've got yourself a regonizable American city!
