The original architectural elements of the 1963 building will be preserved in the entrance lobby. Some common areas are expected to open in late 2026 and early 2027. Seeing 25 households move into their newly renovated apartments is an important milestone and a testament to the collaboration between HCD and our partners.
The shared spaces are also being updated. Planned amenities include a laundry room, a lounge, a mailroom, a fitness room, a landscaped courtyard, an updated pool and multipurpose rooms for resident services.
We are grateful to the residents who have been patient with construction and who can now live in and enjoy a safe, beautiful home,” Mayor Regina Romero said in a release. “I’ve lived here for four and a half years, and the building really needed this remodel,” said Donald Burrow, 62, who currently works with the construction team. This work is about more than improving a building; it’s about ensuring Tucson House residents have a safe, dignified place to call home. ” “Gorman & Company is thrilled to celebrate the rehabilitation of the 15th floor, the first of 17 floors within the historic Tucson House revitalisation project,” said Sally Schwenn, Arizona Market President for Gorman & Company. “The success of this important milestone will be evidenced by smiles of the first residents moving into their beautiful new homes!”
The 17th-floor gathering space will have a kitchenette, a television and panoramic views of the city. “The old units are still good homes, but they needed the work. The apartments upstairs are beautiful, and Gorman is doing a really good job on the renovation. I just bought a couch, and I’m so excited to move from my studio into a one-bedroom apartment. I go upstairs every day to check out the renovations, and I can’t wait to move in. ” HCD Director Ann Chanecka also reflected on the progress. “Rehabilitating Tucson House has been a complex undertaking, with significant challenges along the way.
