A 58-acre development in north Tempe will bring office jobs, apartments and a hotel to the area
A north Tempe development could eventually house 550 families and provide office space for 8,000 workers, officials said Monday at a celebration for the Grand at Papago Park Center.
The 58-acre development at Priest Drive and Washington Street is owned by Salt River Project, which runs its real-estate holdings in the area through a subsidiary called Papago Park Center. The Grand development is turning previously vacant land along the Grand Canal, Valley Metro Light Rail and Loop 202 into a multiuse project with offices, apartments and eventually a hotel.
