Phoenix needs high rise homes. If the city continue to spread outward, it will affect untouched land, and the wildlife that lives there. Phoenix is huge now, its about time to start building upwards and no outwards.
But REMEMBER their asking for a TAX BREAK. us tax payers need a fair services in return. It has to serve the public and we need a fair return from investment.
@@jerbwoodyeah put a methadone clinic their like they did in my neighborhood, so instead of a bunch of upper middle class and wealthy people living a “tall” building you have drug addicts roaming the streets and living on your corner and coming into your yard at night… they should shut their mouth and stop complaining cause they don’t realize the city is quietly pushing the drug addicts out of downtown to make it a lot nicer place for living and being able to walk around and feel safe… also a tall building = shade and a lower electricity bill on the summer
@@crowdedveins9210 no one is asking for a methadone clinic. I'm fine with building. I'm not ok with Phoenix trying to be the next NYC or San Francisco. Fuck that. A thousand times, fuck that.
These people are aware they live in the downtown area of the 5th most populated city in the country right? What do they expect the city to do, build a cookie cutter community of homes on prime land?
PLEASE BUILD IT! And while youre at it try adding some more shops in the downtown area, people will need a place to work. If more shops and stores itll attract more people to the downtown area thus creating an econimal boom for our city.
I'll say, the location is actually a bit of a distance from the neighborhoods that already have apartments between them and the proposed location. For being such a huge city and metro area, having only 1.3 square miles of what I'd call a real downtown/walkable city is pathetic. There are so many vacant lots sitting around wasting space. I'll say that across the street from the proposed development is a historic house that has been "preserved" (abandoned, really. It needs alot of tlc if it should keep its historic value) and having the development next to it would be a little strange but I'm still for the development really.
The United States have long been the home of the skyscraper, but in the last decade development has pretty much been restricted to very few cities like New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles, Austin and Miami. Some famous skylines like Houston or Atlanta are quite dead. They hardly changed for a few long time. So I applaud every new skyscraper that is built in a city like Phoenix. And people in Phoenix will be glad about a little more shadow in the city center. The problem of Phoenix are not tall buildings in the center, but the endless dystopian urban sprawl. Of course people love to have their own house - I also live in a single house, but a city of that size should also have a much larger downtown for people who prefer the urban lifestyle which allows them to walk to work. Melbourne, Australia, has a similar size as the Phoenix metropolitan area, but despite also having an huge suburban sprawl, it has an amazing and dense downtown.
It's hard to believe that Phoenix the 5th. most populated city in the US doesn't even have a skyscraper over 500 feet tall. Meanwhile Miami as mentioned has 62 skyscrapers that tall with another two dozen proposed and that city is only a third the size of Phoenix.
Not true. I wouldn't say Houston or Atlanta has barely changed. Houston has built two 700+ foot buildings recently in Downtown. Both Atlanta and Houston have added a ton of infill (high-rises). They have skylines beyond their main downtown skyline that's also getting buildings as well. Their 2nd skyline (Buckhead and Uptown Houston) are still much larger and taller than Phoenix's downtown skyline. Dallas has added a lot of infill as well, especially in Uptown Dallas and it's also now larger than Downtown Phoenix. I think you're focusing too much on signature skyscrapers and not high-rises, which adds to the skyline as well. Most sunbelt city skylines haven't stopped growing.
It needs more tall buildings, it’s growing a lot (although nobody will want to live in the uppermost floors which will be just one power outage away from roasting in the summer)
Lol these people are complaining about a building just cause it’s gonna be like 60 ft taller than the chase building.. there was no complaints about the buildings half it’s size… also I feel no sympathy for them and screw the news channels for covering this when they don’t cover a nice middle class neighborhood having a methadone clinic and halfway houses put into their/our neighborhood and turning the streets into a drug den and making it unsafe for our kids to on walks like we use to do when we were kids… yeah a tall building with most likely wealthy people living in it the issue… I guess those are privileged problems to have.
Oh well… out with the old & in with the new! If you want that hometown feel. There are other parts of AZ for that! We need to build our skyline if we want to be taken seriously as a CITY.
Phoenix needs taller buildings big companies bringing billions of dollars to the city helps! I been around many cities with beautiful downtowns ours looks behind 😢😅
Lmao of course the old fogey who doesn’t like change. I agree that you shouldn’t gut the entire historical district. But Phoenix, Arizona’s biggest problem has always been the endless urban sprawl. Which is the biggest contributing factor to the heat increase. Skyscrapers fit more people in a smaller footprint. Plus more shade in the downtown area which we could desperately need. Very few cities in America, except the large international ones have developments and skyscrapers like this. We should be enthused that finally our huge and amazing city is getting a downtown to represent its size. Much love can’t wait.❤❤❤❤❤
Doubt those apartments will be affordable. Rich ASU students will be occupying the building. But a big tower would be nice for our small downtown. 5th largest city but no tall buildings to show for it.
I would like to live in the new high rise ++ BUT us tax payers need to receive from the tax break is - needs to serve a purpose to the public -tax payers need a very FAIR return on investment (like giving 50% off to rentals and leases)
When I think of construction in the desert... I always think of water. Where's the water coming from? It's not going to last.. focus on water situation and then get to building.. can't build forever with no water.. haha.
@@chris7285 I had friends like you , they use to think moving to a new place would mean their life would be like a movie then they quickly realized all they needed to do was change their life and things and surroundings weren’t the cause of their sucky life.

Did u know us tax payers could get something back in return from investment ? Ofc it gotta be fair
phoniex is a huge city , i think it needs more tall buildings :)
NO! get out of here corporate BOT!

@@jerbwood suburbs are subsidized by local governments, they don’t literally generate as much money as a mixed use development
True but if they’re asking for a TAX BREAK, we tax payers need return on investment

It’s simple, US tax payers need FAIR return on the TAX BREAK investment
F that old Karen🤣 build it, it’s time phoenix gets some taller buildings I hope they go through with it
Lol
BUILD IT!!! IT LOOKS AWESOME
PLEASE BUILD IT! And while youre at it try adding some more shops in the downtown area, people will need a place to work. If more shops and stores itll attract more people to the downtown area thus creating an econimal boom for our city.
And we need FAIR RETURN the on tax break investment😫 like 50% on all new high rises
What I see is old people complaining about change and not thinking about the plus side. STOP URBAN GROWTH AND BUILD UP!!!

Build it up and make it dense. This city needs a real skyline.

@@xoxxobob61 The extreme is a city called "Sunny Isles Beach" near Miami. It has a population below 23,000 and 14 towers over 500 feet.
@@skyscraperfan I know Sunny Isles very well especially when it was full of 2 story beachside Motels instead of Skyscrapers!
@@xoxxobob61 It has more to do with the airport being too close.

The rich get money while the working class pays the bill.
you guys need to stop living in the past and move to the future and development in phoenix
She's old, out with the old, in with the new.
all of this put together brings more jobs that means more money for the economy

Always some haters for no fkn reason. Let the people build da skyscrapers man. Dam. Smh
If it’s not residential apartments don’t build!
For sure, plenty of empty offices since covid
Build it taller. Make it at least 700 feet.
We have to ensure returns to the people
