Initial comments
An interesting article, generally, at GA-level. I normally leave the WP:Lead until last, but in this case I'm going to do it first.


 * The WP:Lead is intended to both Introduce the article and summarise the main points of the article; and whilst it does provide an introduction its not a very good summary.
 * I would suggest that it needs to be doubled in size; and, for instance, it does not mention the original two-phase build, the addition of the central tower, originally planed but not built; and the almost demolition.


 * Referencing is generally good, but there are problems with some of the web links. The City of Scottsdale, Arizona. Historic Zoning, pdf links are either down or have changed.

These should not take too long to fix, so I'm putting the review On Hold. After that, the article should make GA. Pyrotec (talk) 10:42, 25 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, the lead is expanded to cover major article points, and the dead references have either been relocated and revived, or deleted as unnecessary. I added some colorful bits from Chicago sports reporter Dave Hoekstra because I ran into his article during the rewrite. Binksternet (talk) 16:57, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

 * No problems, it was interesting. I was going to send you note when I'd sorted the bureaucracy out; but I don't need to now - you were watching. Pyrotec (talk) 18:25, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
