Historic Architecture Meets Modern Design

Hawn Plaza sits at the center of Temple’s cultural and economic renaissance.

Whether you’re drawn to historic detail or modern flair, both Hawn Tower and Hawn West offer comfortable, thoughtfully designed floorplans — from efficient studios to spacious one- and two-bedrooms — all in a vibrant urban environment.

Your Business at the Heart of Downtown Temple

With garage parking for customers and staff, and just minutes from Baylor Scott & White Medical Center and I-35, it’s a location built for foot traffic and convenience.

Arcadia Theatre — A Historic Icon Reborn

Just feet from Hawn Plaza is the Arcadia Theatre — a beautifully restored landmark that first opened in 1928 and quickly became Temple’s favorite entertainment destination. Built in an ornate Spanish-Atmospheric style, the Arcadia originally hosted silent films, vaudeville, and live performances from stars like Gene Autry, Roy Rogers, and Robert Mitchum.

After decades of dormancy, the Arcadia has been meticulously renovated and reopened as a multi-purpose event and performance venue, hosting concerts, weddings, community gatherings, and special events — all steps from your front door.

“Once again, the Arcadia stands as a shining symbol of Temple’s history and renewal — where the magic of the past meets the promise of the future.”
