Really? Demand for a 30 story building in Tucson? What's the vacancy rate of the only "real" high-rise there? 30%? When that baby is 90% leased, then maybe we can talk about demand...

On the plus side, the recent news about Caterpillar is HUGELY important for Tucson and bodes well for (eventually) real commercial growth in DT Tucson.

But I don't see another spec high-rise going up there...EVER. Somebody like Caterpillar would have to want to move there and need 200,000 sq ft before it's even possible.

Do I hope I'm wrong? Of course! I've been dreaming about another high-rise in Tucson since 1987, bro. But the world is different. Downtowns are coming back but Tucson needs a far stronger economic base before another spec tower is coming on the scene.

That said, there's nothing wrong with DENSITY. A nice mass of 10-story buildings is all a 1 million metro should really ever expect in these fractured times...

Dude, there's a proposed 23+ story building downtown. Bro, read several postings back
