Foundation Eyes October Start for $17-Mil Project

TUCSON-Construction will begin in October on a $17-million, mixed-use building in the downtown that may include an adjacent movie complex.

The Marshall Foundation, a charitable organization, will break ground in October on a 115,000-sf, five-story building at the southwest corner of N. Park Avenue and East Second Street, says Thomas Warne, project manager. The building is expected to be completed by December 2002.

The building’s ground floor will be divided into as many as five retail spaces and will be marketed to everything from a hair salon to sit-down restaurant. The foundation will use the four-upper floors for office space.
