🏙️ Big news for downtown Albuquerque — and a landmark moment for adaptive reuse in the Southwest.
The former Wells Fargo Tower at 200 Lomas Blvd. is being transformed into Lomas Tower: a $50–$65M mixed-use development with 100 affordable housing units, ground-floor retail, and a projected late 2027 opening.
Here's what makes this deal stand out:
🏦 $35M county revenue bond
🏛️ $10M from NM's 2026 affordable housing budget
🏙️ $5M city contribution
🏠 50 units reserved for households ≤50% AMI | 50 units ≤70% AMI
This is what smart public-private capital looks like in action — turning vacant office space into a community asset.
We're watching this project closely. The adjacent parking lot is already being evaluated for its next phase: hotel, housing, or office. The ripple effects on the downtown corridor are just beginning.
