A local homebuilder is once again bringing new life to the site of a closed Tucson school.
Pepper Viner is building 71 homes at the former Corbett Elementary School, on 29th Street, west of Wilmot Road.
Corbett Village will have one- and two-story homes, ranging in size from 1,041 to 1,624 square feet with two- and three-bedroom floor plans.
This is the third former school Pepper Viner has redeveloped into a housing community.
The builder also created housing at the former Van Horne Elementary, 7550 E. Pima St., and Wrightstown Elementary, 8920 E. Wrightstown Road.
“On one hand, we were happy to find infill property available for new housing, on the other, a little sad that these neighborhood schools are disappearing,” said CEO Bill Viner. “At each site we incorporated a small remembrance of the former school.”
