One North Fifth:
Tucson's First and Only New Downtown Apartment Rentals
(Moderately) Full-Speed Ahead!
The One North Fifth renovation, which began in November, is scheduled for move-in August 1st. Realistically, I expect move-in to occur a week to two after that. Inspections and permitting are in progress. On the street level, there will be a large, new lobby, an exercise center, and a multi-purpose room; the southern face of ONF will have a variety of retail shops. On levels one through six, the amount of light coming into each completely remodeled apartment has been dramatically increased by expanding the patio door openings to 6'x8', along with east light entering through three 8"x16" openings. New applicances will include automatic dishwashers.
On the roof of ONF, a deck on the southeastern corner of the building will give tenants stunning views of the Catalinas to the north, and of Tucson and the Santa Ritas to the south. A rooftop terrace is planned on the eastern side of the building, and construction has begun on a 300-space underground parking garage on the north side of ONF. Across the street, Tooleys Cafe on Congress will be opening soon, and galleries, restaurants, shops, banks, the Main Library, professional buildings, and the Rialto and Fox Theatres are all within short walking distance.
Furnished model apartments are currently not viewable due to City of Tucson intervention; we hope to have tours back up and running by appointment by July 22nd. Check our updated website for details: www.onenorthfifth.com

Forward to the Past
If you walk on Congress Street in downtown Tucson near the historic Hotel Congress, you can see tracks being installed in every direction: Far down Toole Avenue, up and down numbered avenues, eventually running to the University of Arizona. The following article sheds light on mass transit's rise and fall in Tucson and other American cities. For a planned route, visit the following website: http://dot.tucsonaz.gov/hottopics/pdfs/StreetcarBrochure.pdf ---------------------- We are truly headed forward, full-speed, to the past. As you can see from the accompanying photo, back in this Arizona Historical Society photo circa 1901, workmen were laying tracks for Tucson's trolley cars on Congress Street. Donovan Durband, of Downtown Tucson Partnership, writes: "This shot looks east from the middle of Congress, from in front of where Enoteca is today . . . The onion-domed building was called the Ivancovich Building, and it was located in the middle of the block between Stone and Scott, by where the Old Pueblo Garage is today."  (Courtesy of the Arizona Historical Society/Tucson)Inspections are ongoing and move-in, scheduled for August 1st, will probably take place a week later. Please check our website for updates at www.onenorthfifth.com as I will post all updates immediately when I know them!

One North Fifth Updates
To all of our One North Fifth clients/applicants/curious inquirers/downtown revitalization enthusiasts/kibbitzers/etc.:
Construction is on schedule . . . the furnished fifth-floor model apartments can be viewed at www.youtube.com and real, live tours will re-commence soon as well--hopefully by July 22nd. (We are currently haggling with the City of Tucson over safety issues during final renovation.) We've pre-leased approximately one-quarter of the ninety-six apartments; people who've been up to see them love the bright, airy spaces; the sunlight; the amazing views; the location; the proximity to everything downtown Tucson has to offer (cafés, nightclubs, Hotel Congress, museums, restaurants, 4th Avenue, galleries, and more); and last but not least, the location.
With 8'10" ceilings, laundry rooms on each floor, all brand-new appliances including dishwashers, bright colors, construction of underground parking behind the building and a rooftop terrace, an athletic room, and walls and floors and doors that block out most of downtown Tucson's sound when you need some peace, One North Fifth looks to be a great place for people who want to be near all the action of downtown and the Univeristy of Arizona, yet able to retreat into their urban oasis. We have a mix of students, retirees, workers from all professions, managers, salespeople, young and old; all of them people who are excited to see downtown revitalization and streetcars finally coming to Tucson, and who want to be able to walk to work, transportation, theaters, and more.
I welcome you to the third edition of News From One North Fifth, and I invite you to visit all of the links below for more information, and to call me anytime with questions or for more information, as well as with suggestions and comments.
Sincerely,
Justin Cohen
