One of the most visually well-known structures on the northeast side of Tucson is now on the market for around $1.9 million.
Located at 1100 N. Wilmot Road, the Vantage West Credit Union structure goes by the name of the “upside-down building,” due to its unique design, which resembles an inverted pyramid.
Measuring just under 11,400 square feet, the two-story structure, with the credit union occupying space on the ground level, was designed by the Tucson-based Swaim and Associates in the late 1970s.
The structure was originally home to the Western Savings Bank and has been described by the site Waymarking.com as architecturally representing a “transition building into corporate modernism.”
Listed with Cushman & Wakefield/Picor Commercial Real Estate of Tucson, the structure is classified as a Class B office building.
Besides its unusual shape, the building is also known for a sleek design emphasizing wrap-around exterior glass panels. It additionally features a two-bay drive-up also topped with glass panels.
