A nearly 60-year-old, 152-unit apartment complex near the gateway to the University of Arizona main campus in Tucson would make way for a residential/hospitality/retail mixed-use development under a proposal currently before the city Zoning Examiner.
Property International submitted the request on behalf of property owners Shenkarow Realty Advisors and Palm Shadows Joint Venture to rezone the 2.5-acre site at the NWC of Campbell Avenue and Speedway Boulevard from R-3 & C1 to Planned Area Development. Located near UA, Arizona Health Sciences Center and Banner University Medical Center, the apartments and under-utilized site would be replaced by, “a mixed-use activity center with retail, grocery, hospitality and/or multifamily residential and professional or medical office for a total square footage ranging from 360KSF-420KSF,” according to city documents.
