Well, the Scottsdale thread seems to have vanished so I'll post the following article here:

One Scottsdale construction pushes on
Julie Janovsky, Tribune
Construction for the $1.5 billion One Scottsdale project is under way.
Crews began hauling dirt on Aug. 13, beginning a mass excavation for an underground parking lot, said a spokesman for Scottsdale-based developer DMB Associates.
The dirt haul, running 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sundays through Thursdays, is expected to continue through November.
Commuters looking to stay clear of the construction route should avoid the area along Scottsdale Road, just north of Loop 101.
From there, trucks will proceed west on Loop 101 to 56th Street and head north about 500 yards on the east side of 56th Street before returning to the Thompson Peak Parkway construction entrance.
Eleven structures will be erected during the first phase of the 120-acre development, expected to feature a combination of residential, commercial and retail space. Building designs for these structures are being submitted to the city through the end of this month.
Construction on the new Dial headquarters on the northeast corner of Scottsdale Road and Loop 101 is ongoing. The company is planning a 340,000-square-foot building encompassing four stories of office space above three stories of underground parking. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of next year.
In addition to Dial's plans, designs submitted to the city also include a four-story, triangular-shaped "Flatiron style" building featuring more than 58,000 square feet of office space and a neighboring five-story contemporary style structure with 91,000 square feet of space.
Each will be built over three stories of underground parking.
The first-phase buildings are all located south of the proposed Center Drive, an east/ west road that will bisect One Scottsdale, said Don Hadder, city principal planner.
Grand opening of the development is planned for October 2009.
