TUCSON, AZ (January 12, 2026) — Plans are moving forward for a new Costco Wholesale on Tucson’s Southeast side at 9748 E. Old Vail Road, near Houghton Road, on a 22.35-acre vacant site at Rita Ranch Commerce Center.
City documents describe the project as a “destination retail store”, a 158,000-square-foot Costco warehouse, and an associated fueling station. A pre-application filing for the site is already on record in the City of Tucson’s Property Research Online (PRO) system, described as “New Costco coming to the Area.”
Publicly circulated construction timelines indicate work could begin in January 2027 and be completed between June and September 2027…
