TUCSON, AZ (April 10, 2026) — AutoZone Parts Inc. has purchased a 1.12-acre commercial pad at 3901 S. Kinney Road in Tucson for $1.75 million, adding another confirmed retailer at the intersection of Ajo Highway and Kinney Road near Cat Mountain. The sale closed on March 25, 2026, and reflects a land price of approximately $35.71 per square foot.

The buyer was AutoZone Parts Inc., headquartered in Memphis, Tennessee, and the seller was Cat Mountain Equities LLC, c/o Monte Verde LLC / Mansano Trust.

The broader concept is intended to serve continued residential growth and commuter traffic in the area.

Century Complete Adds 34 Finished Lots at Entrada Del Toro in Rancho Sahuarita

 Entrada Del Toro

TUCSON, AZ (April 9, 2026) — Century Complete has expanded its position in Rancho Sahuarita with the purchase of 34 finished single-family lots in the Entrada Del Toro subdivision for $2.856 million, continuing builder demand for shovel-ready inventory in one of Southern Arizona’s most active master-planned communities.

The buyer, WJH Sales of AZ LLC, a Century Complete-related entity, purchased the lots from RSMC VIII LLC, an entity affiliated with Rancho Sahuarita. The March 26 transaction totaled $2.856 million, or $84,000 per lot, for 34 finished single-family lots on 3.82 acres at 892 W Calle Ronda in Sahuarita. The sale also equates to about $746,743 per acre.

Century Complete is the entry-level homebuilding brand of Century Communities and traces its Arizona presence to the former Wade Jurney Homes platform. It is tied to active homebuilding operations rather than a passive land-holding strategy.

Because the parcels are improved as finished lots, the acquisition gives Century Complete a near-term path to additional home construction instead of a longer-term land position. In the current market, finished-lot deals like this remain an important sign of builder confidence, especially in communities where infrastructure is already in place and neighborhood momentum is established.

Rancho Sahuarita continues to attract builder interest because it offers scale, amenities, and a location that appeals to buyers seeking newer housing options in the South submarket. Entrada Del Toro has been one of the active neighborhoods within the master plan, and this latest purchase suggests Century Complete is preparing for continued vertical activity there as builders replenish lot pipelines and work to meet ongoing housing demand in the greater Tucson region.

TUCSON, AZ (April 9, 2026) — A recently sold commercial pad at The Crossing at Sahuarita appears headed for a new Sherwin-Williams store, linking a January land sale along the I-19 corridor to a paint retail project now moving through Town of Sahuarita review.

The Town of Sahuarita’s development reports that the property will be used for a proposed Sherwin-Williams project.
