Phoenix, the capital of the U.S. state ofArizona, has 64 completedhigh-rises taller than 200 feet (61 m).[1] The tallest building in Phoenix is the 40-storyChase Tower, completed in 1972 with 38 habitable floors rising to 483 feet (147 m).[2] It is also the tallest building in Arizona. The second-tallest building in the city and the state is101 North, which rises 407 feet (124 m).[3] Of the 25 tallest buildings in Arizona, 22 are located in Phoenix.[4] However, none of them are among thetallest in the United States.
The history of tall buildings in Phoenix began with the completion in 1924 of theLuhrs Building; the structure rose 138 feet (42 m) and ten floors. TheWestward Ho was completed in 1927.[5] This 16-floor, 208-foot (63 m) structure stood as the tallest in Phoenix until 1960.[5] Midtown Phoenix went through a building boom in the early 1960s, resulting in the completion of sixhigh-rises, including thePhoenix Corporate Center and4000 North Central Avenue. The 1970s brought development back toDowntown Phoenix and saw the completion of five major high-rises, including the two tallest buildings in the city: Chase Tower and 101 North. The next major period of development occurred in both districts and lasted from 1980 to the early 1990s. In this time period, 10 of the city's current 25 tallest buildings were constructed, includingU-Haul Tower,Central Arts Plaza andRenaissance Square.
While high-rise construction didn’t entirely stop, development slowed considerably until 2007 when Downtown gained five more high-rises within three years, including the 1,000-roomSheraton Phoenix Downtown and the 34-story44 Monroe apartment tower. Currently, the Downtown Phoenix skyline is growing at a steady pace with multiple high-rises under construction, approved or proposed.
As of 2025, Phoenix is the largest city in theUnited States without any skyscrapers exceeding 492 feet (150 m), the height commonly used by the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat (CTBUH) to define a skyscraper. Several proposals for buildings taller than 492 feet (150 m)—including the Phoenix Tower (516 m), Toll Brothers Project (209 m), Landmark Capitol Tower (202 m), City Centre Tower (171 m), and SWDG Condominiums (152 m)—were never realized due to height restrictions and financial constraints. However, the proposed Astra Tower is expected to become the tallest building in Phoenix and the city’s first skyscraper to surpass 492 feet (150 m). The tower is planned to rise 541 feet (165 m) with 44 floors, with construction scheduled to begin in 2026 and completion anticipated in 2028.
This list ranks buildings in Phoenix that stand at least 200 feet (61 m) tall, based on standard height measurement. This includes spires and architectural details but does not include antenna masts. The "Year" column indicates the year in which a building was completed.
