The '''Phoenix Towers''' were designed by [Ralph C. Harris](/source/Ralph_C._Harris) and built by [Del E. Webb](/source/Del_E._Webb) in [Modern Movement](/source/Modern_Movement_architecture) style.
The buildings, completed in 1957, are located a mile and a half north of downtown [Phoenix](/source/Phoenix%2C_Arizona) at the corner of Central Avenue and Monte Vista Road. The main building is 14 stories with four wings forming an X.  "Towers" may be misleading, as there is only one high-rise building, but 2 of the wings are much larger than the other two, giving an appearance of separate buildings.  The other building included in the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) site is a low-rise pool house. The projecting concrete ledges on the towers serve as both balconies and as awnings for the apartments below.<ref>[http://www.phoenixtowers.org/ Phoenix Towers History], accessed September 12, 2012.</ref>

The property borders the [Heard Museum](/source/Heard_Museum), which is just east on Monte Vista Road.<ref>[https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=33.473541,-112.073694&spn=0.01,0.01&t=m&q=33.473541,-112.073694 Google Maps]</ref>

The buildings were listed on the [National Register of Historic Places](/source/National_Register_of_Historic_Places) in 2008.<ref name=nris/><ref>[http://www.phoenixtowers.org/PT_Nomination_Form.pdf NRHP Nomination Form], accessed September 12, 2012.</ref>
