The history of skyscrapers in Phoenix began with the completion in 1924 of the Luhrs Building, which is regarded as the first high-rise in the city; the structure rose 138 feet (42 m) and ten floors. The Westward Ho, which is considered to be the city's first skyscraper, was completed in 1927. This 16-floor, 208-foot (63 m) structure stood as the tallest in Phoenix until 1960. The city went through a building boom in the early 1960s, during which Phoenix saw the completion of three of its 25 tallest buildings, including the Phoenix Corporate Center and 4000 North Central Avenue. The city then went through another major building boom from 1980 to the early 1990s. In this time period, 13 of the city's 25 tallest buildings were constructed, including Century Link Tower, Viad Tower and Phoenix City Hall. As of August 2015, there are 92 completed high-rises in the city. However, no Phoenix buildings are among the tallest in the United States.
The most recently completed skyscraper in Phoenix is The Hotel Palomar, which rises 295 feet (90 m) and 24 floors. As of August 2015, there are two skyscrapers approved for construction in the city that are expected to rise at least 250 feet (76 m). As of August 2015, there are 5 high-rises under construction, approved for construction, and proposed for construction in the city.
