Located on nearly four landscaped acres, El Dorado Lodge is a large, three-story building. The original two-story residence was designed by architect Grosvenor Atterbury and built between 1934 and 1936 by M.M. Sundt Construction Company in the Italian Renaissance Revival style. The entry drive, lined with Italian Cypress trees, complements this architectural style. The building was constructed using local native fieldstone and hand-hewn brick. When the property was converted into a social club in 1949, a partial third story was added. ​ The property includes two additional contributing buildings: the original Bathhouse and the B Building, both added during the conversion to El Dorado Lodge. Alongside the main building, there are 5,928 square feet of terraced patios on the southern and western sides, offering views of the Rincon and Santa Catalina Mountain ranges to the north and east. The property maintains a high level of integrity, reflecting both its original architectural character and its function as an important social venue in Tucson (see Section 8, Statement of Significance). ​ El Dorado Lodge, now the Mountain Oyster Club, is situated on 3.9834 acres on the eastern edge of midtown Tucson, Arizona. It is located at 6400 East El Dorado Circle, one block northeast of the major intersection of Speedway Boulevard and Wilmot Road. Originally set in open desert in the 1930s, the surrounding area has since urbanized. Neighboring properties consist of one-story commercial businesses, two-story residential complexes, and several three-story office buildings, including the El Dorado Health Complex, a small community-based medical facility, all of which were originally part of the historic Stone Ashley parcel. To the south of Speedway Boulevard is the National Register-listed Harold Bell Wright Estates Historic District, a residential neighborhood developed after 1950.

From historic neighborhoods and pristine landscapes in Tucson to residential projects in Phoenix to unique sites in Cottonwood, Sedona and Flagstaff, Miramonte Homes knows Arizona — and Alliance Bank of Arizona knows Miramonte. Thanks to the deep bonds between Miramonte Founder and CEO Chris Kemmerly, Miramonte President Julie Mastriani and Alliance Bank relationship bankers, the two companies have built a longstanding partnership dating back to 2007 and spanning a wide range of project types. Miramonte takes a unique approach to homebuilding, says Mastriani. “We look at things a bit differently. Thanks to the resources we’ve accumulated over the 30-some years that Chris has been in business as a private homebuilder, we have become what you might call a private production homebuilder.” The company’s recent work encompasses semi-custom homes across the state, affordable condominiums in Flagstaff, townhomes in Sedona and a traditional production home community, Miramonte at Mesquite Hills, in Cottonwood. Then there’s Moonlight Canyon at Saguaro Ranch, a prestigious, 43-lot semi-custom/custom home community nestled in the Tortolita Mountains in northwest Tucson, with access via a tunnel that was carved through the mountain by the original Saguaro Ranch developers to reveal a stunning natural landscape dotted with majestic saguaros. “I always say a company’s culture starts with its leadership, and we see that all the way with Alliance Bank,” Kemmerly adds, noting that Alliance Bank of Arizona has financed many Miramonte projects over its 15-plus year relationship with Miramonte. “Being together this long, you don’t really have to tell them a lot – they know everything about you. Sometimes I call [our banker] about stuff even I don’t know! And the access to senior management is unmatched — I have top management’s cell phone number and can call when I need it. You don’t get that anywhere else.” In Alliance Bank of Arizona, Kemmerly sees a parallel to how he has built his company’s outstanding reputation: by taking care with the work they do and honoring their commitments. “It starts with your people — when they are talented and knowledgeable, with the right attitude and approach, you’re able to do pretty cool things.” A proven commitment to clients and their success distinguishes Western Alliance Bank and its brands, including Alliance Bank of Arizona. Our bankers specialize in structuring innovative solutions, including commercial real estate and construction financing that flexes with your projects and meets the needs of builders as they grow.

Miramonte Partners with the City of Missoula on Midtown Commons Redevelopment.   We’re proud to share that the Missoulian recently featured Miramonte Companies and our partnership with the City of Missoula in shaping the vision for Midtown Commons — a new mixed-use community planned for 13 acres near Southgate Mall. Miramonte was selected by the City as the developer for the Midtown Commons property, which will include new single-family and multi-family homes, commercial space, and a 1.5-acre public park designed to serve the surrounding neighborhood. According to the Missoulian, “Miramonte is working directly with the city as a partner to design and build out the area,” aligning the project with the City’s 2023 Midtown Master Plan. Early site concepts show planned roadways, park placement, and housing layouts that will be available for the community to review at an open house hosted by the City and Miramonte.   Miramonte CEO Chris Kemmerly noted that hundreds of homes could eventually be built at Midtown Commons. The first phase is expected to include a section of single-family homes under existing zoning, with work beginning as soon as possible.   The City of Missoula and the Missoula Redevelopment Agency are also exploring infrastructure improvements and the addition of nearby parcels to enhance connections and access to the new community.   To read the full story, visit the Missoulian website: https://missoulian.com/news/local/government-politics/article_e000a701-8788-48d8-be52-4e1285d45c46.html (subscription may be required).

Miramonte Companies Chosen for Development The City of Missoula has announced that Miramonte Companies, led by Chris Kemmerly, will transform the long-vacant Southgate Triangle. This project aims to create a vibrant mixed-use community. It will combine commercial spaces, public areas, and various housing types. This aligns perfectly with the city’s Midtown Master Plan. Miramonte was selected from 30 proposals. Their proven track record in Missoula and ability to deliver a development that meets the city’s goals were key factors. Mayor Andrea Davis stated, “They have a track record in Missoula and some excellent home types that meet the missing middle.” She added, “This property is a high opportunity to repurpose underutilized land for more homes, commercial opportunities, and stronger community connections.” A Promising Future for the Southgate Triangle The 13-acre property was purchased last November for $5.8 million. It has sat vacant for more than 40 years. Initial planning has already begun, with construction potentially starting as early as next summer. The first phase will include approximately 28 single-family homes and townhomes. There will also be options for accessory dwelling units. Future phases will feature multi-story housing, ground-floor retail, and a 1.5-acre park. City officials highlighted that Miramonte’s focus on infill, mixed-use, and walkable communities aligns perfectly with the city’s vision. The Southgate Triangle is bounded by the Bitterroot Branch Trail and a dense employment center. This presents an ideal opportunity to create a connected, thriving Midtown neighborhood. Commitment to the Missing Middle Kemmerly emphasized Miramonte’s commitment to the “missing middle.” They aim to create homes that are attainable for essential workers, such as nurses. This approach maximizes the potential of already-developed infrastructure. This redevelopment represents a significant step forward for Missoula. It will turn decades of underutilized land into a dynamic, livable community. The project aims to balance housing, commerce, and public spaces. Community Impact and Vision The transformation of the Southgate Triangle is not just about building homes. It’s about fostering a sense of community. The mixed-use design will encourage interaction among residents and businesses. This is essential for creating a vibrant neighborhood. The inclusion of public spaces is another crucial aspect. Parks and communal areas will provide residents with places to gather and enjoy outdoor activities. This will enhance the quality of life for everyone in the area. Economic Growth and Opportunities The development will also stimulate economic growth in Missoula. By creating commercial spaces, it opens the door for new businesses. This will generate jobs and provide services to the community. Moreover, the project aligns with the city’s goals for sustainable growth. It promotes the use of existing infrastructure, reducing the need for new developments in undeveloped areas. This is a win-win for both the environment and the local economy. Conclusion: A New Era for Missoula In conclusion, the redevelopment of the Southgate Triangle is an exciting opportunity for Missoula. It promises to bring new life to a long-neglected area. With Miramonte Companies at the helm, the project is set to create a vibrant, mixed-use community that meets the needs of its residents. As the city moves forward with this initiative, it will be interesting to see how it unfolds. The Southgate Triangle could become a model for future developments in Missoula and beyond.
