The seven silos, each 10 stories tall, would be preserved to house a restaurant, host events and for education purposes, with developers eyeing a museum. Preliminary plans show developers want to build up to 27,000-square-feet of new development spread out across six new buildings up to two stories tall.
One building, along Mill Avenue, would be anchored by a restaurant and a larger building along Rio Salado Parkway could see multiple dining and office tenants. Venue Projects and Sunbelt Holdings said the new buildings are “secondary, subordinate in scale” to the mill and silos to ensure the historic buildings continue being the focal point of the property, according to the bid. Plans call for improvements to pedestrian crossings to better connect the property to Tempe Town Lake and the surrounding area as well as improved walking paths. There also are plans to restore the landscape along the periphery of the project that was damaged by historic industrial use. Historic markers and interpretive elements highlighting the history and significance of the mill and butte would be installed throughout the property. The team said their vision for the project was inspired by the restoration of industrial sites like the American Tobacco Campus in Durham, North Carolina, and Magnolia Silos in Waco, Texas, into mixed-use spaces. The Tempe property will be redeveloped in two to three phases with the first phase anticipated to be completed in the next three-and-a-half years, according to the proposal.
