It used to be called The Cosmopolitan or Cosmo.

All I know is I'm completely sick of Phoenix using the below reason for why Tempe can't build taller, come up with another reason already, like "we are jealous that you have more hi-rise projects than us", or "we have more dirt lots in our downtown than yours so if we block your projects then you can build in our downtown."
Overused Excuse:
"Sky Harbor International Airport and US Airways officials have already voiced complaints about the proposed height, saying it would conflict with existing "one-engine inoperative" emergency take-off procedures. Changes to those emergency plans would be detrimental because higher buildings would mean airplanes would have to take off at steeper angles, requiring them to carry lighter loads in the form of passengers or cargo, according to airport officials."
