For a couple of years now there has been a lot of talk about a new mall coming to Southeast Tucson near the Vail, AZ area. Since the rumors have persisted, many have come to the logical conclusion that there may be something to this.
There is something to this rumor, but there will NOT be another Mall of America here in Tucson, AZ. Actually, our new shopping and activites attraction will be called Passages of Tucson. It is going to be arranged in Villages which are groupings of buildings devoted to one kind of product or idea. For example, there will be a village that is devoted to Health and Wellness. They will have some traditional doctors as well as holistic medicine available. There will also be a village devoted to residential living and one for office space.
The location of Passages of Tucson is going to be the north side of I-10 just west of the exit to Highway 83. Plans are moving forward, but as with any large project, this is taking some time. My sources indicate that we should start seeing some building within the next year or two.
This is going to be exciting for the Tucson area because it is planned in such a way as to be a tourist attraction. There will be a Taste of Mexico village that will have regional restaurants as well as gift shops and a cultural center. I dare say many of us locals will be visiting for this reason as well.
The Great Outdoors village will not only have shops with sporting equipment, but is scheduled to include a skateboard park as well as a rock climbing wall AND a pond for fishing!
