I'm not aware of it being a 2 tower project...although that doesn't mean it isn't. It would make sense of the "Duo" name that has been thrown around on some of the pre-apps. But again, I have no verification of this. If anyone can verify this is a 2 building development, that would be great!

I was curious to see what the towers may appear with the Phoenix skyline, so I did a quick, not-to-scale and poor rendering using Google Maps and the renderings:

Let's hope this project gets a fast-track review at the City of Phoenix and gets built soon! ![Thumbs up](images/smilies/tup.gif)

Love that you did this! I used to make these when there were proposed towers in Cincinnati. I think the perspective is pretty close, but Astra will be a little taller (Astra is shown to be 532'9" in the pre-app). You think you could squeeze X and Aspire in those renderings too?
Edit: With the tower being proposed at 532'9'' + another 8' or so for the mechanical equipment on the roof, I wonder how the FAA is going to weigh in on this? I think the Downtown heights are nearly 100' too short as set by the FAA as it is. I hope they don't have too much of a problem with an additional 15' or so on the height of Astra.
