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.
The Barrio Anita site is approximately 1.8 acres (with potential expansion to 2.2 acres through right-of-way acquisition) and will host an estimated 46 units at a density of 21 units per acre. The El Presidio site is approximately 0.75 acres with approximately 12 units at a density of 16 units per acre. At this time, the project anticipates delivering approximately 58 dwelling units—primarily two-story townhomes with private entrances—with a mix of one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes. The City of Tucson and El Pueblo Housing Development plan on refining the concept through public engagement.
You’re Invited!
¡Te invitamos!
Saturday, October 11 | 10 - 11 a.m.
Tucson Museum of Art
Community Room, 140 N Main Ave
Join Ward 1 Council Member Lane Santa Cruz and City of Tucson Housing & Community Development for a community update and discussion about the City-owned lots at 450 N Main Ave and 560 W Davis St. In response to Ward 1’s housing shortage, these parcels may be suitable for permanently affordable housing.
City staff will describe how the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program and other funding could be applied, outline possible tenant and community protections under consideration, and summarize anticipated constraints and timelines. (This session explains a possibility and next steps — not a funding guarantee.)
During their campaign, Council Member Lane Santa Cruz committed to building affordable housing on City-owned lots in Ward 1. With support from the City’s Housing & Community Development team, you are invited to learn about a new opportunity to bring permanently affordable housing to our historic barrios.
