Tucson Kent's World

Mercado District - Tucson's Downtown Green Community

Downtown Tucson is experiencing a rebirth.  One of the newest developments is located on the actual birthplace of Tucson itself - with streets following the routes of the first canals in the area.

The Mercado District of Menlo Park is a truly unique community - setting the standard for sustainability and livability in the region.  All of the custom builders in The Mercado use differing Green construction methods to achieve high-performance standards while providing a peaceful environment of privacy within a vibrant community. 

 

 

Live/work opportunities are a part of the unique character of The Mercado - much like the original village that lies preserved beneath it.  The narrow streets are by design to make the area more pedestrian-friendly.  Parking for guests or visitors is plentiful and close, with Tucson's new Modern Streetcar an added bonus - The Mercado District is the western beginning of the route to the heart of Downtown and to the University of Arizona. 

Architecture is a blend of Old Mexico and turn-of-the-century style, with one area, The Paseo, designed to be a walking street of shops, galleries and residences that bring back a simpler way of living.

Soon to come:  a gallery of photos as we watch the first Paseo residences come to life from the ground up!
