Here's some more positive news that relates to possible future development...

Tucson #3 in Job Growth Cities on Bloomberg’s List

Other than that, have you seen how fast the Banner tower is going up? They're basically up to the 6th floor already...impressive.

Pretty typical speed for steel-frame construction, I think. The next portion, where the elevator shafts should be, will probably go a little slower.

It is pretty sizable, though, even at only two-thirds height.

AC Hotel Top-Out Planned for November 5

Quote:
Developers behind the the AC Hotel Tucson by Marriott—the next landmark to join the expanding downtown community—announces plans to celebrate the completion of vertical construction with a ‘topping-out’ on Saturday, Nov. 5, 2016. The ceremony will include City and County officials, planners, developers, and the general public in a collective celebration downtown...

Construction broke ground in December of 2015, and plans are on schedule to welcome the hotel’s first guests come Summer 2017. The eight story building will include 136 hotel rooms, a rooftop pool and bar, fitness center, 1500 square-feet of meeting space, dining selections, a chic lobby bar, and 4,800 square-feet of street level retail space...

Unlike typical topping-out ceremonies, the event on November 5 will include a ‘block party’-vibe with live music, local food and drink, and downtown festivities open to the public.

At this point, only blueprints are available on PRO, but the Sterling project at Tyndall and First will be 10 floors, with two floors of underground parking and groundfloor retail. The project will take up the entire frontage on Tyndall between 1st and the Arizona Historical Society, leaving Chase with the remaining parking area just to the south of their building.

I told you it would be 10 floors, however it appears that they are proposing 2 mezzanines in addition to the above ground floors.

Here's a very draft rendering, not yet approved:

Not bad looking, but I'll be curious to see the finishing touches. That's been the problem with these complexes so far.

If that gets built and the new Residence Inn happens the Main Gate area will be looking pretty good!

Too many renderings to pick just a few to post.

As far as I know, they're reconfiguring their drive-thru, so it seems like staying is the plan for now.

Streets has been very successful during weekday/lunch hours due to the fact their prices are very affordable AND the food is good. HiFi, World of Beers, Diablo Burger...the establishments on the east-end are overly priced. The landlords and/or business owners need a wake-up call. I love Diablo Burger, but man I leave scratching my head, "Did I just pay $15 for a burger and fries?"

World of Beers! Big surprise. Terrible customer service. So bad, I even emailed their headquarters. No response. Can't feel bad for a place where the staff that can't even attend to customers when things are slow. Even Circle K has figured that customer service is important!

Looked up a couple Gorman & Co section 8 properties and they all get middling to just below average HUD scores for maintenance so I hope the place isn't falling apart in a few years. Couldn't find anything detailed good or bad on the charity doing the onsite services.

Development officials: Caterpillar could haul more companies to Tucson

Since Caterpillar Inc. announced plans in May to locate a major division and bring 600 employees to Tucson, about 10 companies of the same size have expressed interest in also moving here, said Fletcher McCusker, chairman of the Rio Nuevo Board.

"I think by Christmas we will have something," he said, referring to another company relocation announcement.

I hope one of those companies is a bank. Banks like tall buildings (remember Citibank?).

Thanks for that info.
