The 72-acre Scottsdale site where Taser maker Axon Enterprise Inc. intends to build a massive mixed-use headquarters campus remains conspicuously quiet nearly a year after receiving zoning approval from the city.
While new developments continue to sprout up throughout Scottsdale, one of the city's most high-profile projects stands out as a stark exception.
Despite the lack of construction activity, a flurry of political and legal maneuvering has surrounded the site since Nov. 19, 2024, when Scottsdale City Council approved Axon’s plans in a 5-2 vote for a $1.3 billion headquarters campus complete with 1,895 residential units, a 435-key hotel and up to seven restaurants, among other features.
Flash forward nearly a year later, and most of the action is in courtrooms and city chambers, rather than at the headquarters site.
