522 N. 4th Avenue in Tucson.

 

    TUCSON, ARIZONA (August 15, 2017) – Vice President David Blanchette, CCIM, of the NAI Horizon Tucson office negotiated the $1.14 million ($194.08/SF) acquisition of a 5,874-SF retail property at 522 N. 4th Ave., in Tucson.

NAI Horizon represented the seller, Stan S. Katz of Encinitas, Calif., in the transaction. Doug Jones of RE/MAX Alliance Group represented Avtar C. Verma of Paradise Valley, Ariz., the buyer.

“Over the past three years we have seen a steady increasing interest in the 4th Ave. entertainment corridor for investors and local merchants,” Blanchette said. “With the completion of the Light Rail Modern Street Car and the massive infusion of capital to the Downtown Tucson renaissance, 4th Avenue is ready for its own resurgence.

“Successful restaurants and merchants are expanding like Boca Tacos and Lindy’s, and Creations Boutique, which is owned by Mr. Verma. I expect to see 4th Avenue expand its diverse and eclectic mix of restaurants, shops, and clubs to meet the growing downtown population,” Blanchette said.
