More food options are coming to The Landing shopping center on the Tucson’s southwest side.
Land has been cleared for a 2,400-square-foot Pollo Loco restaurant in the shopping center on Irvington Road and Interstate 19.
A $326,000 building permit was issued for the shop being built by local contractor, Barker Contracting, at 4755 S. Landing Way.
Within the same shopping center, Barker is also building a large retail shell building that could accommodate one large retailer or multiple small ones, but no leases have yet been announced.
The Landing, a 58-acre site, is expected to have up to 600,000 square feet of retail space at build-out, which could come as soon as the end of 2020. It’s owned by local developer Bourn Cos. The site was previously owned by the city of Tucson and used by Tucson Water as a facilities yard then rezoned in 2016.
The city had a restriction on the property prohibiting retail development there until March 2017 as an incentive for developers to build out Tucson Spectrum across the street.
