Developers plan to rehabilitate a nearly century old train depot that once housed a popular Mexican restaurant as part of an office and hotel project planned in downtown Tempe.
The historic building, home to Macayo’s Depot Cantina until 2020, will be restored to its original look when it opened in 1924 and stripped of any additions made after.
A 17-story office tower and 18-story Hilton hotel is planned adjacent to the depot on the 2.5-acre site near Ash Avenue and Third Street.
