On Monday, the Federal Aviation Administration ruled that the three-square block Downtown Phoenix project, CityScape, poses no risk to aircraft that fly in and out of nearby Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Monday’s FAA ruling helps clear the way for one building, with hotel rooms and condos, to rise as high as 510 feet.

“We initially issued a Notice of Presumed Hazard because the structure heights exceeded several FAA obstruction standards,” said FAA spokesman Ian Gregor. After further review, the agency concluded that the projects “punches up” into an airspace buffer, but doesn’t have a negative effect on flights.
