Construction is coming along on the Plaza Centro parking garage in downtown Tucson - the scaffolding is finally coming down and you can really start to see how the building is going to look. The plans to continue with residential development on top of the structure looks promising too! Public art is planned for the corner facing Congress Street, designed by Tucson artist Daniel Martin Diaz, and will feature large rolled steel panels with water jet cut designs. The panels will be mounted onto the corner of the building, surrounded by vines, and will be backlit at night.
We think it will make for a striking piece at the apex of Congress Street and will post pictures of the concept soon.
Here is a picture of the progress, looking east at the garage, from Maynards Market parking lot. Planting around the building is still a little while off, but we'll be sure to get pictures just as soon as they go in the ground!
