Project Description
In the heart of downtown Tucson, there was a relatively small surface parking lot historically filled with visitors to the iconic Chase Bank building, which was built in 1929 and dubbed “Tucson’s first skyscraper.” With the explosion of activity downtown, a need for additional real estate square footage became essential to the continued success of the downtown resurgence. With support from the City of Tucson both in favorable overlay criteria and financial incentives, 1 East Broadway was a dream of its ownership group brought to life. Coordination with the various utility owners and the City of Tucson Department of Transportation was required to ensure this new midrise building in downtown Tucson could be made possible logistically. During construction, our team was heavily involved in various, expected site-related adjustments that became necessary when disturbing the surface of one of Tucson’s oldest intersections.
