The Hotel Tucson City Center, a 279-room hotel at 475 N. Granada Avenue, is expected to be transformed into a new 15-building, 364-unit multifamily residential development called CITYcenter.
Lazarus & Silvyn, PC, on behalf of developer, Sterling Real Estate Partners, submitted a request to the City of Tucson, for the rezoning of the 10.37-acre property from I-1 Industrial to C-2 Commercial. Sterling Real Estate Partners is planning an adaptive reuse of the seven-building hotel and new construction of eight additional buildings.
CITYcenter will house a mix of 145 studio, 150 one-, and 69 two-bedroom units. Two hundred and ten units will be located in the adapted hotel buildings while 154 will be located in the new buildings. The eighth building of the hotel, which comprises the existing hotel lobby entrance, will be demolished to make way for the new buildings. The new buildings will vary in height. Six will be three stories and two will be two stories. The project documents show a maximum building height of 38 feet and a density of 35 residential units per acre.
