You're right. The renderings are only meant to convey their massing, not their actual design.

If you want to spur this development on, there's only so much you can do. I'd recommend moving to central Phoenix since it's demand for city living that will eventually result in a vertical push. I'm sure north Scottsdale has its charms, which lie very close to the ground. If you love cities, however, you'll want to vote with your feet.

This project is probably dead but there are others (Cielo, CityScape, W Hotel condos, Copperpointe) which are still clinging to life. If you got some spare change, show Phoenix some love.
