It would give a nice touch to see the mountains parapet illuminated, as it would give it a definitive look at night that would draw your attention to it. BTW, does anyone know how tall the YMCA Tower will be?

i've been trying to find the final height of the YMCA building but haven't had any luck. i know the final design is 14 floors, so i'd guess it'd be in the 160-170 foot range.

i know construction is underway.

This one doesn't reach over 300 ft but it comes close to it! It's official height seems to be 290 ft.

The title is wrong: the building is 290ft tall. Plus, Boise already has a 300+ footer called the 8th and Main, commonly known as the Zion's Bank building.

Spokane's Metro is also smaller than Boise's (465,000 vs. ~800,000)

Zion's Bank here:

The name and floor count are also wrong, the project is now called The Arthur and has 26 floors.

I wish the first 20-story tower went through, as it would have been really nice to see a building break the 61-foot height difference of the One Capital and US Bank, and another building at 400 ± 20ft to break our 300ft plateau.

photo from the Idaho Statesman... exterior is pretty much complete, except for a few replacement windows. leasing is now available and the building is slated to open after the first of the year.
