Two articles about developments from the
Arizona Builder's Exchange website. The second we knew about, the first seems new.
Tucson Developer Planning Big Mixed-Use
A developer is seeking approval for a Planned Area Development to encompass 63 acres of vacant land at Irvington Road and Interstate 19 (three miles south of Interstate 10) in Tucson. If approved, the proposal will create a massive, multi-phase, mixed-use commercial center to be called Irvington Commercial Center.
Commercial Real Estate Developer Bourn Companies proposes to transform the undeveloped desert land at the NWC of Irvington Road and I-19 into a, “… vibrant commercial development to serve the immediate neighborhood along with visitors and the rest of the region driving along our major interstate system,” according to the submitted documents.
The development will be divided into five areas:
Development Area 1 encompasses about 11 acres and will be developed with smaller commercial pads with high visibility along the I-19 frontage and access provided by a pair of driveways at existing, signalized intersections, as well as a third driveway.
Development Area 2 (8 acres) will be located near the SWC of the site and will serve as an extension of Area 1 uses, but without direct roadway frontage.
Development Area 3 (21 acres) lies at the center of the PAD and will be tied to the other four areas by vehicle and pedestrian circulation routes.
Development Area 4 (12 acres) lies near the center of the site, south of the proposed spine roadway.
Development Area 5 (11 acres) is on the far north of the property.
Actual phasing of the five development areas – including the order and boundaries of those development phases – will depend on market conditions and demands. Site improvements will be completed as needed. The Arizona Department of Transportation will be making improvements to the frontage on the east side of the property, as well as providing a sound wall between the site and a residential area to the north, as part of the agency’s Interstate 19 Improvement Project.
The proposed spine road will include an eight-foot pathway to provide vehicle, pedestrian and bike access to the whole property, providing at least two connections to the Santa Cruz Riverpark. The developer will also provide a bus pullout shelter on the westbound side of Irvington Road.

New Tucson Transitional, Acute Care Facility
An Indiana-based developer of healthcare projects is seeking to rezone 8.5 acres of land from education uses to medical services uses. If approved, Mainstreet Property Group will build the Mainstreet Health and Wellness Suites at the NEC of East Pima Street and North Rosemont Boulevard in Tucson.
The new building will encompass 68KSF of space, to create a transitional care center to provide therapy and post-acute care for patients following surgery or injury. Lot 1 will include the 47.3KSF transitional care center, providing extended services to 70 beds.
The Lot 1 building will feature a 20’-6” parapet and a 28’ tower feature. At the corners of the building will be landscaped rainwater harvesting basins. Inset into the outside of the north and south elevations, large courtyards will create beautiful areas for a building entryway, rehab area, dining area and a putting green. The building will be encircled by a ring road with outdoor parking and access drives along both East Pima and North Rosemont.
A future construction phase will include Lot 2 (14KSF) and Lot 3 (15KSF), which will house outpatient medical services. No GC or timeline information was provided with the submittal.
