Downtown Tucson is one of the country’s most “happening” city centers. With
its unique combination of world-class entertainment, historic architecture and
vibrant arts and entertainment scenes, it’s a place like no other – and there’s
a lot more on the way as our revitalization plans kick into high gear.
Río Nuevo and several private sector developers are currently collaborating on many exciting projects - from new residential developments to parking
facilities, street improvements and much more. Downtown’s most anticipated
public attractions - the Civic and Cultural Plazas, University of Arizona Science
Center, Tucson Origins Heritage Park, and a proposed new area – are also in
the planning stages and will get underway soon.
Before long, Downtown will be a dynamic mix of historic architecture
integrated with vibrant public spaces, modern cultural attractions and many
exciting housing choices. It’s a goal that’s well worth a little mess and
inconvenience, so please bear with us throughout construction. As always,
we’ll do everything we can to minimize inconvenience and keep you informed
of our plans. You can stay on top of Downtown construction projects – what
