Sonoran Institute Moves to Downtown Tucson

In June 2011, the Sonoran Institute relocated its headquarters from the East side to downtown Tucson. Working with Fletcher McCusker and Providence Service Corporation, the Institute renovated the third floor of the former Federal Court House Annex at 44 E. Broadway Blvd. to use as its new Westwide headquarters.

“Moving our offices to downtown Tucson celebrates the core mission of our organization, which promotes Main Street and urban revitalization as vital conservation objectives,” said Luther Propst, executive director of the Institute. “This move also makes financial sense for the organization, since it will allow us to consolidate office space and improve the efficiency of our operations as we prepare for future growth.”

The new address for the Institute is:

44 E. Broadway Blvd., Suite 350
Tucson, Arizona 85701

Our main phone number has stayed the same: 520-290-0828.

“This is a win-win for the Institute and for the downtown community.”

“The Sonoran Institute adds new diversity to the growing number of businesses opting to move to the city center.”

- Fletcher McCusker, CEO of Providence Service Corporation.
