When the town was first designed it was said that no building within Milton Keynes should be taller than the largest tree. However, during the recent expansion programme for the town this guidance was lifted, as members believed that the area needed some landmark buildings, these would mainly be located in the centre of Milton Keynes but there would also be others outside of the centre. This led to the development of buildings like the Hub: MK that stands at 14 storeys high and was built in 2008. Other large-scale buildings include The Pinnacle, which is located along Midsummer Boulevard; this is an office block and is the largest of its kind in the area. There are plans for further development of high-rise buildings in the area.
