Great vision from the city of Tuscon: building a parking garage that can later be transformed to house retail at ground level and residences up above. Would be perfect for the Qwest Center parking lots at some point.The site, which is just under 2½ acres and is immediately east of the Rialto Theatre, is being designed as a mixed-use development incorporating 150 apartments targeted for student housing, 40,000 square feet of commercial space, including a restaurant, bars and a parking garage. It could also include a music venue. Under an agreement he’s proposing to the City Council at its study session Tuesday (May 12), the first item would be the construction of a parking garage.
