Businesses popping up on Tucson’s south-side have been eagerly received by a long-underserved, multigenerational and growing population.
The Bridges, at Park Avenue and Interstate 10, quickly grew its offering once Costco and Walmart anchored there.
As did Tucson Spectrum, on Irvington Road and Interstate 19, with anchors such as Home Depot and Harkins Theatres.
Immediately north of Spectrum, the mixed-use center The Landing, continues to add more.
Five years after local developer Bourn Cos. cut the first ribbon at the 65-acre site, there are now 28 businesses open or under construction.
The mix includes food, retail, medical tenants and a gym.
A Sprouts grocery store opened this weekend and construction is underway on a bowling, arcade and entertainment venue for families, a hotel and an apartment complex, among other things.
