Dive summary:
- Arizona was one of the epicenters of the housing-induced economic meltdown during the recession, but it appears that Tucson is coming back, and the University of Arizona and its partner developers think it's time to move ahead with a project called The Bridges.
- The 350-acre site, in South Tucson, will have homes, retail and the university's Arizona Biosciences Park (UA Bio Park), which will accommodate as many as 30 tenants on 3 million square feet.
- The rest of The Bridges is being built out by Tucson Retail LLC and KB Home, US Homes and Lennar Homes, which will handle the million-square-foot Tucson Marketplace at The Bridges and 700 to 750 single-family homes.
