Site History

The City of Tucson purchased Westmoreland Lots in 1995 and used the then-existing six residential units for public housing until 2005. These units were demolished in 2006. In 2008, the property was conveyed to a non-profit organization for the development of 11 affordable and three market-rate home ownership units; however, that project never came to fruition and the lot has been vacant since. In 2009, Pima County General Obligation Bonds supported the installation of underground utilities.

Current Project

Given the history of the site as public housing, high demand and low supply of affordable housing units, and the public funding already invested in the infrastructure, the City of Tucson is pursuing affordable housing at the site that is compatible with the history and character of Menlo Park. FSL was selected as the co-developer and are working through pre-development tasks.
