It's only pseudo-phallic because the building isn't phallic, it's shaped more like that fold in the crotch of a man's pants when he's sitting. In this case, khakis, of that I am certain.

Wow Tech House, I don't know what to say to that. That's an, er, interesting crotch fold analogy. I think this phenomenon occurs only with poverty pants.
But back to the name, I am curious how they came up with it. They could have called it, Sunrise, Rise And Shine, Risen, Riser, Lazerith, All Rise, (from A Few Good Men) which incidentally is what I thought about with that name. Not nearly as imaginative as getting pseudo-phallic crotch fold from the word rise.
