Tucson Tamale Expands Production with New South Tucson Facility

Tucson Tamale Food Processing Plant, 102 W 29th Street, Tucson

TUCSON, ARIZONA (April 29, 2025) – Tucson Tamale Company has significantly expanded its production capabilities by launching a new 14,000-square-foot USDA-certified food processing facility at 102 W. 29th Street in South Tucson. The new plant will allow the company to produce up to 25 million tamales annually, representing a fivefold increase over its previous production capacity.

The facility results from a joint project with Diamond Ventures, which purchased the former Malone Meat & Poultry Co. building in January 2021 for $955,000. Diamond Ventures oversaw the buildout of the space, while Tucson Tamale equipped it with an advanced automated production system. Owners Todd and Sherry Martin have leased the building under a 15-year agreement.

In April 2025, PR & MC Properties acquired the property housing Tucson Tamale Company at 102 and 120 W. 29th Street for $2,395,000 ($178 per square foot). The seller was TT DVI, LLC, an affiliate of Diamond Ventures. The transaction was brokered by Geoffrey Turbow and Anthony DeLorenzo of CBRE Newport Beach along with Tim Healy of CBRE’s Tucson office  representing the seller.

The South Tucson facility supports Tucson Tamale’s expanding national footprint. Products are now available in over 4,000 retail stores nationwide, and a strong e-commerce business ships more than 3,500 orders each December. Locally, the company expects to sell between 25,000 and 30,000 tamales at each Tucson restaurant location during the holiday season.

Production at the new plant operates continuously, with an automated extruder mixing masa and filling tamales before they are hand-wrapped, cooked, frozen, and packaged. This new facility complements Tucson Tamale’s original Dragoon Street production site, which opened in 2015 and continues to produce 5 million tamales annually through a traditional batch system. Together, the company now employs approximately 50 full-time workers across both locations.

PR & MC Properties, LLC is a privately held real estate investment company based in Corona del Mar, California. Established on January 4, 2024, and registered with the Arizona Corporation Commission, the firm is headquartered at 1207 Starboard Way. Steven Paul Lancaster serves as both a member and a manager of the company.

The acquisition of the Tucson Tamale facility aligns with PR & MC Properties’ investment strategy, focused on stable, income-generating assets with long-term tenants. The facility is fully leased through 2036, providing a consistent and reliable revenue stream.
