I like this project a lot and appreciate what the developers did in regards to working with the neighborhood to get majority support and the proper scale.

HOWEVER, this quote is alarming: “We had 19 neighborhood meetings,” Dorman said. “We’re very sensitive and have developed the plan all along with them.” This is what gives the City of Tucson the label and reputation of being non-business and difficult to work with. To expect developers to go through that many neighborhood meetings is insane. Very honorable for this development group to go through that, but 19 is ridiculous. Ten (10) would had given me heartburn, but sheesh, 19.
This one has about 20 meetings, http://tucson.com/news/local/grocery...4e2051030.html .

One of the complaints is the usual 'height' issue.

New apartment projects around Tucson aren't keeping up with demand

...Currently, the Tucson metro has a 94 percent occupancy rate, which is four percent above what the city has ever seen...

Meanwhile, a great number of new job announcements will be filled by employees transferring to Tucson — a workforce that is likely to rent before deciding if and where to buy a home....

Finding land to build multistory complexes is tough because there is often pushback from residents about height.

Now that the grading and foundation has been set, The Mark has been rising at a pretty good rate.

Speaking of student housing, workers are on site at HUB 3.

So here are a few rumors I have heard that are completely unsubstantiated and probably have no basis in truth - but fun none the less

- Texas Instruments has inquired about the lot to the west of the Caterpillar building (the landfill remediation lot) for a new location for their Tucson offices

- Plans are being developed for one 6 story and one 11 story building on the large lot(s) south of Sentinel Plaza, on the northeast corner of Cushing and Linda Ave.

- An announcement on the rumored Amazon Distribution Center is expected soon

Does anyone know how many people TI has in Tucson still? Used to be a ton, but most were transferred several years ago.

On a different note, the webcam for the UA indoor practice facility is live and TIBO has an update of the mixed use project at Speedway and Camino Miramonte.

Tucson Water Files For Permit To Recharge Water Through Downtownby TIBO 1/05/2018 | 9:59 10 Posted in Downtown, Green, Infrastructure, Park, Rio Nuevo, Tourism, West side

It looks like Downtown Tucson may be getting closer to having a living Santa Cruz River running through its west side. Tucson Water recently filed for a permit with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality to discharge treated effluent into the Santa Cruz River at Silverlake Road, just southwest of downtown. A portion of the permit description reads: “The Santa Cruz River Heritage Project is an important planned reclaimed water recharge facility near downtown Tucson that will allow Tucson Water to develop additional recharge capacity for the long-term storage of reclaimed water for future use while enhancing the downtown area with a perennial water feature.”

Pretty sweet. I can’t wait!

Looking forward what will be built around this piece of Santa Cruz.

I'm hoping for several 30+ floor buildings.

Tucson, it's long overdue!

Has anyone heard an update on the Arena Site (NorGen Bid)? Their original timeline had construction starting in 2016 (that was never gonna happen). According to their agreement, they need to spend $10 million on the site by 2020. We are reaching the middle of 2018 and there have been no updates that I know of. With all the other projects moving along, they would have a hard time using the economic climate as an excuse.

Think Rio Nuevo got an update during an executive session a few months back. Selecting Nor-Gen was a mistake from day one, so wouldn't be surprised if this falls apart.

Norville is a local developer. IMO, there is no way any local developer is going to be able to raise $100M + for development on its own. Projects this size require participation from out of town/state developers who can raise the financing required.

In addition to the exec. session discussions, the online Rio Nuevo finances show a payment of $855k from Rio Nuevo to NorGen on April 10 for "Land." So did RN buy back a piece of the Arena site? Still no public announcements as to what's going on with this project.

I'm fairly certain the 855k was paid to cover the drainage improvements that have taken place on that property over the last several months. I remember reading that part of the development agreement was RN would pay for that portion of it.

Peach Property is another one.

I guess we'll have to wait another painstaking 10 years to see at least a two floor 'high rise' with these developers. 10 years of loss potential revenues.

Is this for sure a go? Or still proposed? If the former, this is HUGE for Tucson! Awesome!

My understanding is that they are gauging interest for the next 3-4 months. They are supposed to return with updated specs at end of summer. The building could be anywhere between 12-20 stories.

If they come back at 20, that is great news as it shows demand in Tucson.
