A 222-unit apartment development planned for the SWC of Broadway and Rosemont boulevards in Tucson had been scheduled to go before the Tucson City Council this week but has been removed from the agenda and continued to a later date.
Property owner Broadway-Rosemont LLC has requested a rezoning of 6.02 acres of a seven-acre site from Residential and Commercial to Office/Commercial/Residential. According to details in the Tucson Zoning Examiner’s report, “The proposal includes six 40-foot-high buildings, with 43 to 45-foot-high “pop-outs” in some areas, four 26-foot-high buildings, and a two-story-high clubhouse, 29 to 31 feet in height.”
The plan for Broadway/Rosemont Multifamily calls for 222 apartments with 36 studios, 144 one-bedroom, 36 two-bedroom and six carriage house units. Amenities include a pool, a community room and an outdoor garden area, and the site will include solar-ready covered parking spaces and electric vehicle parking stations.
A Tucson-area real estate news site ran a project background article and request for supporton Aug. 16. The piece said, “The proposed housing community is ideal for those looking to live in an urban environment that provides the ability to take advantage of a ‘live, work and play’ lifestyle, all while not needing a car! Within walking distance of 1,500,000 SF of office space and approximately 340,000 SF of retail space, the subject site is .01 miles (52.8 ft.) from the Route 8 bus route which runs every 15 minutes from 5:00 AM to 7:00 PM and every 30 minutes to midnight.”
