Opening of New Clubhouse and Pool Complex Receives High Praise from Members
A lap pool, rooftop fitness suite, and bocce ball court enhance the member experience at Saguaro Ranch, the exclusive, 1,200-acre gated community 35 minutes north of downtown.
Tucson, Arizona (February 24, 2022) — When designs were first unveiled by Tucson’s Robinette Architects, Inc. for repurposing the community’s iconic McClintock’s Restaurant, the entire Saguaro Ranch team was exuberant. Plans called for a 25-yard lap pool, a fitness space, a seating area with a two-sided fireplace that intended to leverage breathtaking 180-degree desertscape views, a bocce ball court, two pickleball courts, “conversation islands” and firepits.
When construction was completed in December — and the blueprints were transformed into reality — Saguaro Ranch’s development partners Lundberg and Peschel couldn’t have been more ecstatic.
“It was one thing when Ron introduced his vision for the renovation, but to see it come to fruition is amazing,” said Lundberg, President, Saguaro Lot Management, Inc.
Accompanying Robinette Architects, Inc. in the project was a consortium of local firms, including Madan Builders LLC, Marcon Excavating & Construction, Inc, Stone Scapes Design and Landscaping, LLC, and Aqua Design International.
“Water in the desert has a wonderful, soothing effect on people,” explained Dave Acklin, President, Aqua Design International. “The design concept was rendered by Ron and integrates the pool and spa with the amenities of the pool area, which include a swim-up bar in the pool, a jetted spa, and a bocce ball court.”
The award-winning landscape architecture firm has designed some of the most iconic pool complexes in the world, including Utah’s Amangiri, Four Seasons Punta Mita, Four Seasons Anguilla, JW Marriott Starr Pass, Omni Tucson National and Loews Santa Monica Beach Resort.
“We’ve been fortunate to work with Ron on several projects over the years,” added Acklin. “He’s one of the preeminent architects in Arizona and this collaboration assures that members will have the best experience possible at the new Saguaro Ranch Club.”
Saguaro Ranch is a one-of-a-kind community unlike anything in the western United States in that only 20 percent of the land is designated for development and 80 percent of it is preserved as undisturbed desert. Now members, their families, and their guests are enjoying the benefits of the Saguaro Ranch Club.
“A tremendous amount of energy went into creating this special gathering place and we’re so pleased with the comments we’re getting,” Lundberg commented.
