Listing materials identify Tucson architect Timothy F. Robertson as the designer of the contemporary home at 2920 N Old Fort Lowell Ct, built in 2019 as the developer’s personal residence at the rear of a five-home gated enclave. On September 3, it sold for $1.80 million, the leading transaction of the week in the Tucson, Arizona metro area’s real estate market.
The five highest-priced home sales reported across the metro for the week ending September 6, 2026, combined for $6.74 million, and they span Old Fort Lowell, the Tucson Mountains, Vail, Rancho Soldados and the Catalina Foothills. Custom and extensively updated construction runs through the list, from a hilltop build on approximately 10 acres in the Tucson Mountains to a 2024 residence in gated Rancho Soldados.
No. 1 — $1,800,000 · 2920 N Old Fort Lowell Ct, Tucson, Arizona
The Old Fort Lowell property that led the week sits nearly out of sight at the back of its enclave, reached through a weathered metal gate in midtown Tucson. Robertson’s design pairs expansive glass walls and soaring ceilings with scored-concrete floors across a reported 4,691 square feet, organized as a three-bedroom main residence, an attached casita and a basement-level recreation room. The sale closed on September 3, 2026, and ranked No. 1 in RealtyWire’s Tucson Metro Area Top 5 for the week.
An open kitchen, living and dining area anchors the main level, with an oversized island that seats eight, quartz counters, custom cabinetry, a wine refrigerator and a linear fireplace. The primary suite opens through floor-to-ceiling glass directly to the pool and hot tub, and each bedroom in the main house carries its own bath and walk-in closet. Downstairs, the recreation room holds space for a pool table, a bar area and a large-screen media setup.
The casita has its own entrance, a kitchenette, a private terrace and views of the Catalina Mountains, suiting guests or multigenerational living. Outside, shaded terraces with misting systems surround the pool, and a small orchard grows ruby-red grapefruit, navel orange, Meyer lemon and mandarin trees. The home is within walking distance of the River Walk and a short drive from St. Philip’s Plaza and downtown Tucson.

The 2003 house has been fully remodeled by a professional builder. Soaring ceilings and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace meet wide-plank white oak and travertine floors and 8-foot alder doors, and a three-bedroom split plan adds an office. The kitchen holds a 48-inch Thermador dual-fuel range, integrated refrigerator and freezer columns, quartzite counters and backsplash, custom alder cabinetry and a 146-bottle wine cooler.
An infinity Pebble Tec pool and spa sit on a flagstone deck with a gazebo, a commercial misting system and a turf yard, all set against Rincon Mountain views on a lot that adjoins Arizona State Trust Land. The community adds a recreation center, sport courts and trails.
