The last Sunset Limited passenger train rolled out of Phoenix’s Union Station on June 2, 1996. Twenty-six years later, a developer has major plans to transform the vacant building in downtown Phoenix:

PHOENIX — The last Sunset Limited passenger train rolled out of Phoenix’s Union Station, once a bustling hub for people and commerce, on June 2, 1996.

“Aaron is committed to working with the city to keep Union Station,” Mo Stein, principal and director of HKS Architects, the project designer and architect, said. “It’s like our own little modern-day Warner Brothers studio lot … done with some edge and grit while keeping true to Phoenix’s unique storyline,” Klusman said in a statement, “which I absolutely love.”

On the east end of the site, Stein said they are considering a 14-story or more residential building. The new construction would not touch or affect the existing train station.
