PCC is requesting Statements of Qualifications for the lease and development of 4.4 acres of College-owned parcels along Drachman Street, Tucson Az 85705.  Through this RFQ, the College is seeking to prequalify a limited number of respondent developers based on financial capacity, relevant experience, and developer capacity. Shortlisted respondents will be invited to present to the College a business plan proposal and upon selection, negotiate a long-term ground lease and development site-plan. Deadline for the submittal of SOQs is Thursday, August 8, 2024 at 3:00 PM MST (Local AZ Time)

PCC’s Downtown Campus has recently undergone major expansion of the campus footprint with the addition of two multi-story, state of the art facilities housing the College’s Center of Excellence for Applied Technology. With these new 150,000+ sq ft facilities, automotive, welding, robotics, CAD and machining programs are expanding, increasing interest in all programs at the Downtown Campus. The Downtown Campus is close to the University of Arizona, Tucson’s bustling and growing Downtown Business District, in the Center of the City’s Thrive in the ‘05 initiative, and is served by several major bus lines including the future bus rapid transit route.  The project site known as the Drachman Properties, is a part of Tucson’s Historic Miracle Mile Strip. This area was formerly used by motels to serve travelers along the northern edge of the city.
