Tucson is getting a new center for autism research and support.
Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center bought a 10,628-square-foot office building at 3100 N. Campbell Ave. from Siempre Juntos LLC for $2 million, after a successful capital campaign.
Richard M. Kleiner and Alexis Corona, with Picor, represented the seller.
The Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center (SARRC) recently surpassed its $13 million capital campaign goal to expand autism services across Arizona and open its first new campus outside of Maricopa County.
Southwest Autism Research & Resource Center is set to open next year in Tucson, the group's first location outside of Maricopa County.
The campus will include preschool programming, in-home and community-based therapy services, and research initiative for families who currently face long waiting lists of having to travel to Phoenix for care.

It will be SARRC’s sixth Arizona campus and is expected to open in 2027.
