A new mixed-use development including office and hotel towers is being planned for the site of the historic Tempe train depot that was built in 1924.
E&R Holdings, LLC, a company affiliated with mixed-use developer, RED Development, is requesting a Planned Area Development Overlay, a use permit for tandem parking and a Development Plan Review for the project, known as Tempe Depot.
Tempe Depot will be located on a 2.52-acre site at 300 South Ash Avenue, the site of the current Macayo’s Depot Cantina and historic train depot. The developer is proposing to preserve and rehabilitate the 3.7KSF train depot structure along the western portion of the site for restaurant and retail use, and build a large commercial project including a Class A office tower, a five-star full-service hotel, parking structure and amenity deck and street-level uses according to the project documents.
