Circa 2001-2003. The heliport was deactivated following the acquisition of its owner, Burr-Brown Corporation, by Texas Instruments in late 2000. The associated building was subsequently demolished for redevelopment, with the closure occurring sometime before the construction of a new retail center on the site.
Corporate acquisition and real estate redevelopment. The heliport was a private asset of the Burr-Brown Corporation. After the company was acquired by Texas Instruments, the facility was considered non-essential. The land was sold and completely redeveloped, first as a Home Depot Expo Design Center (which itself later closed) and subsequently as a U-Haul facility, making the heliport's operation permanently obsolete.
The site has been completely redeveloped and bears no resemblance to its former use. It is now the location of a large, modern U-Haul Moving & Storage facility at 4555 W Ina Rd, Tucson, AZ. The entire parcel of land is occupied by the multi-story storage building, a retail center, and customer parking. No physical remnants of the heliport exist.
The Ina Road Heliport (US-10015) was a private-use heliport owned and operated by the Burr-Brown Corporation, a major Tucson-based technology company renowned for its high-performance analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits. The heliport's primary function was for corporate transportation, likely used to fly executives and key personnel between different company locations, to and from Tucson International Airport (TUS), or to other regional destinations, bypassing local traffic. It was an asset reflecting the company's size and importance in the tech industry during its operational years. The heliport was not open to the public and handled no commercial or general aviation traffic.
None. There are no plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. The land is privately owned and fully occupied by a high-value commercial development. Re-establishing an aviation facility at this location would be legally and logistically infeasible due to the current land use and infrastructure.
