Jim Click Property Sales Mark End of a Tucson Automotive Legacy
TUCSON, AZ (May 19, 2026) — A series of recorded real estate sales tied to the Jim Click Automotive Team marks one of the largest automotive dealership portfolio transfers in Southern Arizona, with 12 Tucson-area properties selling for a combined $92,911,514.
The transaction also marks the end of a defining chapter in Tucson business history. For more than five decades, the Jim Click name has been closely associated with Southern Arizona’s automotive market, civic life, and philanthropic community. The sale represents a generational transition for one of Tucson’s most recognizable dealership groups and one of the region’s best-known business families.
The properties were sold primarily by CT Properties LLC, c/o Jim Click Family Trust, and Jim Click – JVBM Properties LLC. The buyers were Gee RE Arizona of Milwaukie, Oregon, with Ryan Gee, manager.
The sales coincide with Gee Automotive Companies’ acquisition of 15 dealerships from Jim Click Automotive Team and Tuttle-Click Automotive Group, effective April 28, 2026. Gee Automotive Companies described the acquisition as an expansion of its dealership platform across Southern Arizona and Southern California. The company is headquartered in Spokane, Washington, and was founded in 1983 by George Gee as a single Pontiac dealership.
Public records show 12 property sales recorded in the Southern Arizona portion of the transaction. The broader dealership acquisition includes a total of 15 dealerships: nine in Southern Arizona and six Tuttle-Click dealerships in Southern California. The California dealership operations were not part of the Pima County real estate filings reviewed for this report.
The Jim Click Automotive Team has operated in Tucson since 1971. Over that period, the company became more than a dealership group; it became part of Tucson’s commercial identity, with a long-running presence at the Tucson Auto Mall, along East 22nd Street, on South Wilmot Road and in Green Valley/Sahuarita. Local reporting described Click as moving into his “next chapter,” though it did not characterize the move as retirement.
The 12 real estate transactions include dealerships, service, storage, and commercial land properties at the Tucson Auto Mall, along East 22nd Street, on South Wilmot Road, and in Green Valley/Sahuarita. The portfolio includes roughly 429,054 square feet of building area and approximately 67.03 acres.
