Stone & Speedway
Stone & Speedway is Phase IV of the HUD Choice Neighborhoods Implementation (CNI) Housing Strategy. Located at a key intersection across from Pima Community College’s Downtown Campus and directly along Tucson’s planned Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor, the development is adjacent to a proposed BRT stop. It is expected to deliver 120+ units of mixed-income housing near downtown, with at least 20% of units reserved for market-rate tenants, in line with CNI requirements. The phased project will likely include a mix of five story buildings, parking, and non-residential spaces, transitioning to two stories along 9th Avenue to scale down to the adjacent lower-density residential neighborhood. The project will be co-developed by El Pueblo Housing Development and Gorman & Company.

Community Meeting – March 2, 2026
The City of Tucson hosted a community meeting on November 24, 2025 at the Dunbar Pavilion to share information about the project and gather feedback on preliminary draft development concepts. During the meeting, the project team presented updated development concept plans prepared for the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) submission and reviewed design changes made in response to prior community input.
The meeting included an extended Q&A session, followed by an open house–style discussion where participants could review the site layout and updated renderings in greater detail and continue conversations with the project team. Feedback stations were set up to collect input on potential project names and design options for the western portion of the site along 9th Avenue.
