UA Tech Park Virtual Tour

Talk a walk in the park, the UA Tech Park, with our virtual 360 tour. Located in one of Arizona’s fast-growing suburban settings on Tucson’s southeast side, the UA Tech Park’s spacious campus encompasses 1,282 acres and has 2 million square feet of developed space for high-tech offices, R&D, and laboratory facilities. With 25 years of success in the books, this significant economic engine houses 75+ tenant companies employing over 6,000 knowledge workers.

Greater Tucson Leadership

Greater Tucson Leadership held their first in-person class day at UA Tech Park earlier this month.

Tenant Spotlight: Vail Academy & High School

We salute Vail Academy & High School, located at the UA Tech Park, and its amazing graduating seniors who endured through quarantine, masks, remote learning, hybrid school, and then finally back to some bit of normalcy.
