Copper Hill Estates is a picturesque custom home site development, encompassing 100 beautiful acres in Tucson, AZ. Located in the northwestern foothills of the Catalina Mountains, this site offered 61 premium lots ranging from 1.5 acres to 3.4 acres. Stir’s second single family development. We were involved in raising the private equity needed to be able to close on the land. The challenge for this development, that it was a little ahead of itself.

The Varsity, one of our favorite developments that we’ve had the pleasure to work on, was commissioned by an east coast (Maryland) client (VIG). They turned to Stir because of having our corporate HQ’s in the state of Minnesota. Being closer to this project in the midwest was essential and imperative to this client. Stir was chosen to be the construction manager for this student housing project, which would later be called “The Varsity”. Right in the heart of downtown Ann Arbor at the University of Michigan. This signature 156-unit, 13-story project faced numerous challenges, including very tight working site conditions and poor soils. We were still able to hit the budget and not exceed the GMP of $55,000,000.
