Current Development Projects
Redevelopment of the 4.2 acre Ronstadt Transit Center site, located at Congress St. and 6th Ave. This project marks the culmination of a multi year, competitive RFP process that included numerous meetings with stakeholders, Federal Transportation Agency, and final public presentations. The site currently houses the Ronstadt Transit Center and two parking lots. Our plan includes development of mixed use retail, office space, residential, hospitality, public spaces, a public market alongside the new transit mall, and a parking garage.
The City of Tucson issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the restoration, redevelopment, and reuse of the former Tucson Performing Arts Center / Cursillo property at 408 S. Sixth Avenue, SW corner of S. Sixth Ave. and 14th Street. The upstairs is planned to remain a performance and event venue and the basement will be converted to a mixed-use market space.
The historic Rodgers Hospital, located at 123 S. Stone Ave., is currently undergoing extensive renovation, including outdoor seating, which will open up to the newly remodeled Ochoa Street, with upgraded pedestrian thoroughfares, shade structures, and more. Also housed on this property are Perfect Teeth Dentistry, Curley’s Barber Shop, and the Southern Arizona office of the Honorable Senator Kyrsten Sinema.
Peach Properties, Marcel Dabdoub, and Red Lion Group acquired the Chicago Store, a landmark multi-story building in Historic Downtown Tucson at 130 E. Congress. Built in 1918 in the Italianate style of early 20th-century American architecture, it has been the home of the Los Angeles Furniture Store, Tucson’s first JC Penney, and since 1967 the Chicago Music Store (originally the Chicago Store). The most unique attributes of this building include its open floor plan and prominent façade, which underwent a $200,000 facelift in 2013 to fully restore the prismatic glass transom above the storefront windows. The building site, on the southwest corner of Congress St. and 6th Ave., ranks among the highest in both pedestrian and vehicular traffic. In addition to being located across from a streetcar stop on the route connecting downtown Tucson to the University of Arizona. The partnership has developed a mixed use commercial space with uses including co-share offices, bar, restaurant, coffee shop and other retail uses.
In the city of South Tucson, Peach Properties is redeveloping and revitalizing the former Beach Furniture and Appliance building, orginally constructed in 1953, located at the corner of South 6th Avenue and 32nd Street. Currently leasing, the mixed-use project features 11,000+ SF of commercial space and 7 remodeled live/work studios.
Developers Ron Schwabe and Marcel Dabdoub are partnering to remodel the buildings at 98 (former Wig-o-Rama), 100 (former Grill) and 110 E. Congress St. into over 9,000 square feet of space for dining and retail. Each space will rejuvenate the original brick façade to its original splendor.

One of Peach Properties’ most recent restoration projects is the King Warehouse, located at 510 N. 7th Ave. in Tucson’s historic Warehouse Arts District. The building, which was formerly the location of Star Auto Parts in the 1940’s and 50’s, has been transformed into 16,000 square feet of urban commercial loft spaces.

Brings is located at the heart of Downtown Tucson, close to TEP and the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Tenants have easy access to the streetcar, other professional buildings, cafes, and restaurants.
