Thanks for the picture. It does look a bit different than some of the proposals images. Maybe they realized its mass and added the different colors and some different geometrical shapes. But you are correct...it is massive. Would have been nice if they could have broken it up into 2 buildings or maybe balconies would help with that prison feel. But at least we have more housing.

Looks like a new restaurant will replace the old Boys and Girls Club downtown.

Just an update: The project at 471 W Congress St. bringing 338 new units to the SE corner of I-10/Congress st. have been applying for permits with Tucson water. So, looks like things are still moving along hopefully.

It looks like there have been plans submitted to CoT in January for the student housing that is set to replace the old TUSD HQ's enormous parking lot.

Looks like a pretty enormous concept in terms of beds. They've submitted two plans to the city, both look like the TUSD headquarters will stay in place. Maybe they'll remodel if and use it as a common area?

One plan is two multi story buildings, one on the parking lot and the other adjacent to the main HQ structure. They'll be connected by a 3rd floor sky bridge over 10th st.

The other is a slightly taller building that is entirely on the parking lot and use the other space as a park.

I wonder how it'll affect operations at The Rock.
