If the coronavirus has kept you confined to home sweet home, you can expect to see lots of progress on downtown Tucson construction projects once you do venture out.
The projects that were initiated pre-COVID-19 include apartment and hotel buildings.
When completed, they will bring hundreds of hotel rooms and apartment units to the area.
As Tucson’s economy works to recover from the coronavirus, which continues to impact the state and country, the number of new hotel projects and renovations will likely decline because of the downturn in tourism.
The recently completed RendezVous Urban Flats, 20 S. Stone Ave., is six stories with an outdoor courtyard, a bicycle storage elevator, co-working space and ground-level retail.
The Tucson Convention Center hotel and parking garage at right are pictured on July 9, 2020. The 170-room DoubleTree by Hilton is on the south parking lot of the TCC, near Cushing Street. The hotel will feature both an entrance from the street and from the TCC, along with 4,000 square feet of meeting/event space, a mesquite-themed restaurant and two bars.

Construction continues on The Flin Luxury Apartments, at left, on the site of the former La Placita office complex, 110 S. Church Ave. The six-story building will have 243 apartments.
A 76-room Hampton Inn and a 123-room Home2 Suites is going up on South Stone Avenue between Ochoa and Corral streets, across the street from St. Augustine Cathedral. The six-story structure is pictured on July 9, 2020.
This rendering shows what the Hampton Inn and Home2 Suites building will look like upon completion.
