Main & Davis Sites
Background
The City of Tucson plans to develop a multi-family housing project on two historic neighborhood parcels: 450 N Main (in El Presidio neighborhood) and 560 W Davis (in Barrio Anita neighborhood). Together, the two sites will provide high-quality, neighborhood-compatible housing that respects the unique character of some of Tucson’s oldest communities.
At this time, the project anticipates delivering approximately 67 units across two sites located in historic neighborhoods: 17 units at the Main site (0.74 acres) and 50 units at the Davis site (1.73 acres).
The development emphasizes traditional neighborhood character including two-story townhomes with private entrances and possibly three-story flats —with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom units. The City of Tucson and El Pueblo Housing Development are refining the concept through public engagement.
