Phoenix is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Arizona. The tallest building in Phoenix is the 483 feet (147 m), 40-story Chase Tower, which was completed in 1972.[1] It is also the tallest building in Arizona. With 63 completed high-rises taller than 200 feet (61 m) as of 2026, 19 of which have a height greater than 300 ft (91 m), Phoenix has the largest skyline in the core Southwestern United States. Despite this, Phoenix has a considerably small and short skyline for its population; it is the largest city in the United States without a skyscraper taller than 492 feet (150 m), while its metropolitan area has the lowest number of 300 ft (91 m) buildings per capita of any U.S. metro with more than 5 million people.

The history of tall buildings in Phoenix began with the completion of the ten-story Luhrs Building in 1924. The Westward Ho, opening as a hotel in 1927,[2] stood as Phoenix's tallest building at 208 ft (63 m) for over 30 years. Since the addition of its 280 ft (85 m) steel tower and antenna in 1949, it remains the city's tallest structure today. Midtown Phoenix went through a building boom in the early 1960s. The 1970s brought development back to Downtown Phoenix and saw the completion of five high-rises greater than 200 ft (61 m), including Chase Tower and 101 North, then the city's second tallest building. High-rise construction in both districts continued until the early 1990s, after which development slowed considerably until the mid-2000s.

Between 2007 and 2010, the 1,000-room Sheraton Phoenix Downtown, the 34-story 44 Monroe apartment tower, and the CityScape development were added to the downtown skyline. Since 2016, there has been a surge in residential high-rises in Downtown Phoenix,[3] many of which are north of Van Buren Street. This has been attributed to a population boom downtown.[4][5] Between 1990 to 2025, Phoenix has nearly doubled the number of buildings taller than 200 ft (61 m), from 32 to 63. The proposed Astra Tower is expected to become the tallest building in Phoenix and the city’s first skyscraper to surpass 492 ft (150 m), should it reach its planned height of 541 feet (165 m). Construction is scheduled to begin in 2026, with completion anticipated in 2028.

The majority of Phoenix's tallest buildings are located downtown, south of the Papago Freeway. From downtown, Central Avenue extends northwards into Midtown, where it becomes known as the Central Avenue Corridor. Office and residential towers line both sides of the street, forming a linear row of high-rises. The Phoenix skyline is often pictured alongside its surrounding mountains, such as the Phoenix Mountains and South Mountains. The rest of Phoenix and its metropolitan area is mainly characterized by low-density sprawl.[6] One exception is Tempe, where a number of high-rises have been erected downtown since the 2000s, near the main campus of Arizona State University.[7]
