Downtown Tucson Prospers
Many families are attracted to The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain because of its secluded location within peaceful Tucson foothills. The city of Tucson has been taking on several construction projects lately to improve the streets of the city. Additionally, new businesses have discovered the charm of Tucson and opened their doors to its residents. This increase in upscale business is expected to result in significant property value appreciation for Luxury Tucson Homes.
According to Inside Tucson Business, Scott Stiteler, a Tucson resident and business owner, has formulated a plan to construct a new arts and entertainment district covering three acres at Sixth and Toole avenues. Under a non-profit group named Downtown Tucson Development Company (DTDC), Stiteler and others are trying to work with Museum of Contemporary Art to renovate the building at 197 East Toole and turn it into an artist-in-residence site. Additionally, they want to work with the youth center, Skrappy’s, to modernize the building at 191 East Toole.
Stiteler would also like to work with the city of Tucson to build a park. Finally, he plans to work closely with Warehouse Arts Management Organization on a new three story building. The building would include commercial space for art galleries and cafes on the first level and residential space on the second and third floors. Stiteler has a planned appearance before the city council May 12 to propose his projects.
Nationally acclaimed chef Janos Wilder has announced his return to downtown Tucson after an 11-year absence. His Janos and J-Bar restaurants have been thriving in his absence at the Westin La Paloma Resort and Spa. In addition to these places, Wilder plans to lease a 2,500 square-foot area in the 200 block of East Congress Street for a few new businesses. The first; his still-unnamed restaurant that will be open for lunch and dinner. Second will be a bar to complement the restaurant and third will be a demonstration kitchen and cooking school.
Tucson residents can expect to see some big changes in the years to come with these projects underway. Smaller-scale changes are currently being made in and around Tucson as well.
