TUCSON, AZ – For office
tenants able to think outside of the big box, Arizona’s lingering retail
vacancies can equate to major opportunity. Such is the case with the recently
completed renovation of the Tucson Galleria – a $16.4 million effort led by the
Phoenix office of JLL that transformed a long-vacant retail mall into a
cutting-edge Western region customer support center for Comcast Cable.

“Comcast was looking for a
well-located building with a great selection of nearby restaurants and
amenities, and a strong public transportation network for its employees,” said Derek Ruterman, Vice President for
JLL’s Project Development Services (PDS) group in Phoenix, and manager of the
Comcast renovation.
“They were able to look
beyond this building’s label as ‘retail’ space to see that the property checked
all of their boxes as a superior location for a new regional support center.”
Located at 4690 N. Oracle
Road in Tucson, the 165,000-square-foot Comcast facility was originally built
in the mid 1980s, initially serving as a multi-tenant retail mall and, later,
as an American Home Furnishings store.
The furniture retailer vacated the space
several years ago, leaving the space empty until Comcast selected the building
for its new support center.
Through a JLL-directed
redesign, this former mall now operates as a flexible and creative corporate
environment that is solely occupied by Comcast. Approximately 1,200 employees
work at the site, providing IT, call center and social media services.
Construction on the
Comcast project began in August 2015 and completed in the the spring of 2016.
The landlord is The Tanager Company, LLC. The project architect was Acquilano
Leslie, Inc. The builder was Jokake Construction.
