Someone asked about it. Maybe I put up too much info but that's the way I am. Anyways, back to Astra.

Any updates on the delays for construction?

After almost a year, the developer finally gave a huge update. They are indeed going forward with the entire project but it has gotten a major redesign. The taller one has been tweaked a little but the biggest change is for the shorter one and it looks amazing. The final height is 541 feet for tower 1 and 425 feet for tower 2.

Encouraging news! Timeline given ?

Construction should begin early 2024 if everything from now on goes smoothly. Hopefully no more delays.

Fingers crossed, as this project not only would give Phoenix a new tallest, but a 3rd tallest as well. The new design is an improvement, in my opinion. If the old Chase Tower gets refurbished, it'll definitely transform the skyline for the better.

What an improvement from the busy mess of a design!

Heck yea, it's about time Phoenix built an official skyscraper.

The city just gave their final approval and overwhelming support for Astra and construction will begin next year. Everything should be good to go now unless something drastic happens. Phoenix is finally getting a new tallest after 50 years since our current one went up in 1973!

Awesome! It's wild that Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the US and it doesn't really have a skyline which I get with the FAA height limit. But still... it's wild

Great news for Phoenix!

Arro project brings tallest building in Arizona to Downtown Phoenix

Empire Group of Companies, through its luxury urban infill division Aspirant Development, today announced the official rebranding of its highly anticipated Downtown Phoenix high-rise project from its working name, Astra, to Arro – a landmark mixed-use development poised to become the tallest building in Arizona upon completion.

Spanning approximately 1.8 million square feet, Arro will introduce a new level of scale and sophistication to Downtown Phoenix, anchored by a 541-foot tall north tower, set to become the state’s tallest building, and a 425-foot tall south tower. The project is designed to integrate luxury residential, hospitality, office and experiential retail offerings into a cohesive, vertically connected urban destination.

Pretty Decent Concepts is currently developing the 16,000-square-foot, multi-level project envisioned as a defining addition to Downtown Phoenix’s evolving hospitality landscape. The concept will bring together multiple dining and nightlife experiences under one roof, led by the group’s award-winning culinary and beverage team and rooted in immersive, design-driven storytelling.

Arro also will include The Optimist, a 250-key luxury lifestyle hotel concept planned for the north tower. The hotel is expected to be flagged by a major global brand, which will be announced at a later date, further elevating the project’s hospitality offering and positioning it as a destination for both visitors and locals.

The development will feature a 380-unit Class A+ residential tower within the north tower, designed to maximize unobstructed views in every direction, alongside the rooftop restaurant experience and hotel. The south tower will include approximately 150,000 square feet of large-floorplate Class A office space, 30,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and a 275-unit luxury co-living component.

The project is expected to be permit-ready by the end of 2026, with an anticipated three-year construction timeline.
