Sam’s Club builders sue Tucson over canceled land sale

The city was poised to sell 22 acres at Interstate 19 and Irvington Road for a Sam's Club, but the plan is on hold because officials overlooked a restriction prohibiting retail development on the site until 2017.

The developers who wanted to build a now-scuttled south-side Sam’s Club have sued the city for reneging on a deal to sell them the land for the project.

Irvington Interstate Partners LLC is seeking unspecified damages over a deal the Tucson City Council scrapped in February.

The council put the 22-acre site on West Irvington Road at Interstate 19 back out for a public rebid after realizing there was a pre-existing restriction on commercial development there, and the Sam’s Club developer determined the planned store couldn’t be built under 100,000 square feet.

The suit accuses the city of misrepresentation, withholding vital information about the property and more.

City Attorney Mike Rankin said the city intends to fight the claims.

Representatives from Irvington Interstate Partners could not be reached for comment.
