After being the subject of political fights over redevelopment plans — then serving a brief stint as a refuge for migrants — the Benedictine apartmentcomplex is now home to hundreds of new residents.
The 292-unit complex at 800 N. Country Club Road is already 92% leased, even though final touches are still being done, said owner Ross Rulney.
“We expected it to take longer, but occupancy continues to be very strong in Tucson,” he said.
There are 37 units that were built inside the historic building where the nuns had their sleeping quarters.
The other 255 units in one- and two-bedroom models and lofts are in the new construction around the monastery.
Monthly rents are between $1,500 and $2,300.
