Out of curiosity, why aren't there taller buildings in Phoenix? I've never really thought of it until seeing this project. It's not due to seismic activity, is it?
Edit: I should have clarified that my comment was more for the Phase II building. |
Due to nearby Sky Harbor Airport, there is a height limit of 550'. That's the official reason, but having it's emergence in the post war/suburban era, Phoenix grew out, rather than up. Light rail corridors are changing things rather quickly though.
