Tucson office building sold for nearly $2M

The Sun Building in Tucson, located at 2030 East Speedway Blvd just off of Campbell Ave, has found a new owner as the new year begins.

The building, which Loopnet has described as having "long been known as an example of one of Tucson's premier mid-century modern office buildings in the highly coveted Sam Hughes neighborhood," was bought by a self represented group of California investors, Thorinson, LLC, for $1.9M. The seller, HFG Properties, was represented by Alain Hartmann of Hartmann Commercial. As of the time of the sale, the building remained fully occupied.

Erected in 1960, the Sun Building includes various rock and stone facades, as well as an atrium and waterfall that feeds into a koi pond in the lobby.

The Sun Building also has a bit of historical significance because of its famous, trail blazing architect. The building was designed by local architect Anne Rysdale, a graduate of Tucson High School and the University of Arizona and a pioneer in the architectural world. Rysdale was one of the first registered practicing female architects in the west, and at one point early in her architectural career, Rysdale was the only registered female architect in the state of Arizona.
