Chase Tower, located at 201 North
Central Avenue in Phoenix, is the tallest building in Arizona. It stands 40
stories and 483 feet high. The tower was designed by Welton Becket and
Associates and built in 1972 for Valley National Bank. Its name was later
changed to Bank One Tower, and finally to Chase Tower in 2005, when Chase
acquired Bank One. The building is constructed in Western style architecture
with a steel and brick structure. Its façade is made up largely of glass.
The building does not have a formal lobby entrance on the
first floor. In fact, the plaza surrounding the building is sunken below street
level and surrounded by a concrete wall. The main entrance is to the tower is
through an underground concourse of restaurants and retail shops that opens about
a block away.
