TUCSON, Ariz. - Arizonar -- EBCO General Contractor celebrated a major construction milestone on March 10, 2026, with a topping-out ceremony for the Tempo by Hilton hotel currently under construction in Tucson, Arizona.

The topping-out celebration reflected the collaborative spirit behind the project. Guests enjoyed a large barbecue lunch, tool and prize raffles, and giveaways that included televisions, gift cards, and project swag. A representative from Hilton attended the event and remarked that it was one of the most impressive topping-out celebrations they had participated in, highlighting the energy and excitement shared by the construction team and project partners.
