Iconic Tucson Office Building Going Strong at 50

5151 E. Broadway Tower, Tucson’s largest commercial office building, will be celebrating its 50^th Anniversary over the next year. Despite its age, the town’s most prominent real estate property announced it has inked nearly 80,000 square feet of new leases and renewals. Since the fourth quarter of last year, the uptick in interest spans multiple categories, including architecture, construction, healthcare and health administration, insurance, first-class executive suites, mortgage lending, and business and home services.

The building has also added some new amenities. Tucson Coffee Cricket moved into the lobby last summer. 5151 recently completed renovations to the fitness facility, which include new equipment and a 40% increase in the workout area.

The building, which is 261,000 square feet and 16 stories high, cost $5 million when it was completed in 1973. Seldin Real Estate is the building owner.
