An east-side office complex could one day become a residential property.
Tucson developer Larsen Baker, through its affiliate Dorado Opportunity Group LLC, bought the nine-building El Dorado Square office campus at 1200 N. El Dorado Place, near Wilmot Road and Speedway, for $3.5 million.
The gated office campus has nine separately parceled office buildings near El Dorado Hospital with Spanish Mediterranean architecture in a garden setting.
Larsen Baker is exploring several options including selling each building separately to owner users looking to own their own office building or redevelop the property into senior housing or a multifamily community.
The buyer was self-represented by its broker Isaac Figueroa and the seller, El Dorado Ventures LLC, was represented by Dave Volk, of Volk Co. and Jim Fijan, with Transwestern.
