Plans for a new hotel in downtown Tucson are in the works for the city’s tallest building, One South Church.
Phoenix investors 1SC Hotel QOZB LLC, managed by Tyler Kent of OpWest Partners, bought five floors of the 23-story tower for a 145-room boutique hotel for $7.5 million.
The hotel will be on floors 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9.
The buyer will also partially redesign the ground floor, with a restaurant and bar, along with local owners Zach Fenton and G.S. Jaggi, of 1SC Partners LLC.
The rest of the tower, named after its address, will remain office space and also be upgraded, Fenton said.
The owners are working with a hotel brand, but a deal has not yet been inked.
