Iconic Mid-Century Modern Design
The Boulevard Shops were built in 1957 and reflect the clean lines, open spaces, and forward-looking optimism of mid-century modern design. The building’s long, floating roofline and generous shaded walkway create a striking presence along Tucson Boulevard, offering a timeless architectural backdrop for contemporary businesses.
Light, Transparency, and an Inviting Pedestrian Experience
Floor-to-ceiling glass storefronts fill the façade with natural light and create an open, welcoming atmosphere. The deep covered walkway offers a comfortable, shaded connection between shops and provides excellent visibility for businesses. The combination of glass, mosaic tile, and sculptural concrete creates a dynamic look that stands out while remaining timeless.
Part of the Sunshine Mile Historic District
The Boulevard Shops sit within the Sunshine Mile National Register Historic District, one of Tucson’s premier mid-century commercial corridors. Tenants benefit from the district’s growing visibility, public interest, and active revitalization, while customers enjoy a cohesive, historically significant setting that feels both authentic and vibrant.
A Distinctive Setting for Modern Businesses
The Boulevard Shops are ideal for creative retail, studios, offices, and neighborhood-serving services. The architecture provides a high-quality backdrop for branding, while the building’s pedigree and sculptural elements offer built-in identity and curb appeal. Large storefront windows, shaded outdoor space, and flexible interiors give tenants the opportunity to create dynamic and engaging environments.
