Cession, a Bistro-style restaurant serving “Southern-themed” foods, will be joining Watermark Tempe, a premier mixed-use development totaling 1.9 million square feet at the Scottsdale Rd & SWC Loop 202 in Tempe, Arizona.

The lakeside space also features expansive outdoor patios overlooking Tempe Town Lake with a one-of-a-kind rooftop experience. An opening is anticipated next February 2023.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Brent Mallonee, Vice President represented the landlord in the transaction. LeDonna Spongberg of Edge Realty Partners represented the tenant.

“We are thrilled to welcome Cession as one of Watermark Tempe’s newest restaurant tenants and destinations for on-site occupants, visitors as well as greater community,” said Brent Mallonee. “This space offers numerous benefits, from its outdoor patio, built-in as well as surrounding customer base, accessibility, and other attractors.”

Mallonee added, “This lease is also further momentum for best-in-class retail and restaurant activity at Watermark Tempe.”
