A local developer is planning an entertainment venue that is expected to make northwest Tucson as big of a draw as the downtown area has become.
Called Uptown, the $500 million project is close to breaking ground at the site of the former Foothills Mall on Ina Road and La Cholla Boulevard.
The 51-acre development by Bourn Cos. will include shops, restaurants that spill out onto patios, an entertainment stage, event lawn and splash pad, video screens, a public market, apartments and hotels.
Demolition of the former indoor mall is underway, and construction of Uptown’s first phase is expected to begin in August and last about two years.
The first phase will include an apartment complex with 157 units ranging in size from studios to three-bedroom models.
Among the amenities will be a pool deck, elevated above the ground floor public space, and a private rooftop deck for residents.
A hotel with up to 300 rooms will also go up at the site. A brand has not yet been announced.
Tucson Premium Outlets
The Tucson Premium Outlets opened on October 1, 2015. This new Tucson outlet mall is off I-10 at Twin Peaks Road. The location provides easy access to 90 outlet retailers when completed.
Shops will include a mix of apparel, fashion, leather goods, home furnishings and shoe outlets. In addition to the retail outlet stores, there will be multiple dining options. Tucson Outlet Mall – MAP
