    ULI Arizona invites you to hear about a groundbreaking mixed-use project in downtown Tucson. Ten years in the making, it’s a modern office, retail and multi-family development in a historic neighborhood sandwiched between downtown and the University of Arizona, and along the modern streetcar line.  The project went through a complex PAD rezoning process, almost six years of neighborhood meetings, a Historic Preservation Zone Boundary Amendment, and more hearings and meetings than you would have thought possible. The phase 1 office, a beautiful, contemporary design that is compatible with the historic district in which it resides, was completed in late 2019 with one of three floors leased … and then COVID struck.  Phase 2 multi-family is pending.
     
    Please join us as we discuss all the twists and turns encountered during this very interesting project.  
    Hear from Randi Dorman of R+R Develop on the PAD Rezoning and Historic Preservation Zone Boundary Amendment processes; Rob Paulus of Rob Paulus Architects on creating contemporary design that is compatible with a historic district; Toufic Abi-Aad of Bourn Companies on securing a GPLET and financing the project; and Rick Kleiner of Cushman & Wakefield | PICOR on leasing new office space during these challenging times.  Don’t miss the conversation!
