Work continues on clearing the area next to One South Church, the tallest building in downtown Tucson on Jan 9, 2019. The six-story retail and residential complex planned for the site has been named RendezVous Urban Flats. It is expected to have 100 units with one to two bedrooms with units ranging in size from 660 square feet to 1,100 square feet. It is expected to have a ground-level plaza with public and private areas. The One South Church tower was built in 1986 with intentions of having a twin tower adjacent to it but it never materialized. A.E. Araiza / Arizona Daily Star
