FOR NEWPORT PARTNERS

Newport at the Rodeo responds directly to the urgent need for high-quality, affordable housing in Tucson and Pima County. With a density of 27 units per acre, the development balances economy, livability, and thoughtful urban design. The project provides 77 units of workforce family housing located on a 2.88-acre site on Tucson’s south side. The development was completed in collaboration with Newport Partners Development and Tofel-Dent Construction and was funded in part through Low-Income Housing Tax Credits administered by the Arizona Department of Housing.

Through smart planning the project offers a compelling model for dense yet livable affordable housing, reflecting PMM’s commitment to practical innovation and community impact. The buildings employ an efficient layout of centralized exterior stairwells serving clusters of apartments. This arrangement reduces circulation costs while maintaining privacy and ease of access. The design also relies on proven construction techniques and modest materials to keep cost in check while utilizing articulated facades, varied massing, color, and detail to add visual depth and texture. The result is a series of large-scale buildings that feel grounded and welcoming and work together to create usable outdoor public spaces.
