Scottsdale is experiencing a surge of new development projects either planned or under construction.


• Work begins on WestWorld upgrades

Among the more high-profile are a $135 million Blue Sky apartments near Scottsdale Fashion Square and the Optima Sonoran Village condominium complex southeast of Camelback and 68th Street. Developers are hoping to construct a total of 5,700 apartment units in at least 18 projects citywide. Nearly two-thirds of the proposed units are downtown and along McDowell Road.
