Scottsdale-based Sterling Real Estate Partners is turning the former Hotel Tucson City Center, at 475 N. Granada Ave., into an apartment complex with the first units expected to be available this summer.
The developer plans to modernize the interior and exterior of the property, which was built in the 1960s, with studio and one-bedroom apartments.
The 10-acre property was formerly a Ramada Inn.
Sterling has been working on the project since January 2021 to change the zoning of the underperforming and functionally obsolete hotel to 212 apartments plus the development of an additional 154 units on excess land.
