I don't think Phoenix developers are too worried about Tucson building a new tallest. If the economy of Phoenix can't support a building over 500 feet, Tucson's economy certainly cannot support a building that tall. What's interesting is that Tucson's tallest was actually supposed to be joined by a twin tower several years after the current tower was constructed. The developer ran out of money while during construction, leaving only the foundation of the building. There was mural developed on the foundation that is still there. Off-topic tidbit, but interesting nevertheless.
In any case, Tucson hasn't seen construction of a new highrise office building since at least the early 1990s.
