MARANA, Arizona – Primo’s R/E Investments of Mesa (Ernetso Rascon, manager) purchased a 29,294-square-foot padded lot at 4505 West Ina Road in Marana for $445,000 ($15.19 PSF). The buyer plans to build a 5,200-square-foot Mercado El Herradero Carniceria on the site.

The seller, David Lee of Marlee Saguaro, LLC and David Lee Real Estate Company was self-represented, and Juan Teran of Realty Executives Tucson Elite represented the buyer.

The property is located to the west of the former Chuy’s restaurant that sold in September  for redevelopment at a sale price of $1.35 Million. Debbie Heslop, CCIM, with Volk Company represented the buyer of the former Chuy’s.

Ina Road is reaching the completion of $128 million road improvements being overseen by ADOT and funded by the Federal Highway Administration, the Pima Association of Governments and the Regional Transportation Authority. Completion is scheduled for early March.

Before work began, Ina Road crossed under I-10, and drivers frequently had to stop for passing freight trains. After completion, Ina Road will cross over I-10 and the railroad tracks. Both Ina Road and I-10 will have an additional lane in each direction to accommodate increasing traffic, with Ina Road improvements reaching west across the Santa Cruz River to Silverbell Road.

The improvements are designed to keep pace with growth in the Marana area while reducing congestion on Cortaro Road.

For more information, David Lee can be reached at 520.954.8008 and Juan Teran should be contacted at 520.977.5905.

TUCSON, Ariz. – Sundt-Kiewit, a joint venture between Sundt Construction, Inc. (www.sundt.com) and Kiewit Infrastructure West Co. (www.kiewit.com), has broken ground on the Interstate 10/Ina Road Traffic Interchange reconstruction in Tucson, Arizona.

The project aims to reduce traffic delays and increase safety by eliminating the existing at-grade crossing of Ina Road and the Union Pacific Railroad and building an overpass that takes Ina Road over I-10.

Work includes widening I-10 to four lanes in each direction and Ina Road to two lanes in each direction from Silverbell Road to Camino Martin. The team will also build two structures over the Santa Cruz River, and the eastbound and westbound frontage roads will be elevated to intersect with Ina Road’s new vertical alignment.

Expected to be completed in 2019, the project also features water and sewer relocations, grading and asphalt concrete placement, as well as new and expanded concrete box culverts and retaining walls, drainage facilities, traffic signals, signage, pavement markers, lighting, and landscape and irrigation along the interstate, frontage roads and Ina Road.
