You know your Sh**
You've got everything nice and concice, but it will take until 2015 to complete this. The 30-story Cowboy Partners Bldg is a "maybe," the "Utah World Trade Center" is a "lets talk this thing up..." Let's hope Salt Lake gets everything that's being talked about.
It sucks about the 600-foot building, the Zion Social Hall(http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=...akecity-ut-usa), The Eagle Gate Plaza (original plans were 39 stories), The Twin 40-Story Towers (to be built by Kashogi), The American Towers (why didn't they just build ONE BIG 52-story Bldg?). And so on and so forth. I do love SLC, I just liken it to the Rodney Dangerfield of cities - No Respect! |
Ok, I updated it. A lot has changed since the original one.
|
Where's the map?
|
As I said in the original post, there is no map. That was from the old project lists and I haven't made one for this updated version.
Anyway, here are construction pics of the HP site: http://blocku.com/images/admin/downtown07_016.jpg http://blocku.com/images/admin/downtown07_026.jpg |

Somethin goin on
It's good to see that there's stuff going on in Salt Lake, as far as the skyline growth goes. But I think that much taller buildings need to be built. Buildings taller than 450 ft. Salt Lake isn't all that impressive compared to a lot of well-known cities in the country. And I think that if Salt Lake wants to become the "heart of the Intermountain Empire," we'll need to start impressing people.
We need a mix of quality AND quantity. |

[IMG] Updates East Bench - Misc. - University of Utah Construction of a new 1,400-car parking garage and the road realignment on North Medical Drive is underway. The garage, located between the IJ & Jeanné Wagner Jewish Community Center and the Kathryn F. Kirk Center for Comprehensive Cancer Care and Women’s Cancers, will feature a lowered roadway entrance and a pedestrian connector to University Hospital so people on foot can avoid the traffic on North Medical Drive. The road realignment will raise North Medical Drive, allowing for better access into the North Medical Garage and the new parking garage. Additionally, two new roundabouts will be added at the entrance to University Hospital and the entrance to the new parking garage to improve traffic flow. June 18, 2023 .[/IMG] |

Hopefully the natural scenery won't be completely obliderated by "urban" development.

The high-traffic corner near Sugar House Park that drew community attention last year over nixed plans for a Kum & Go gas station remains in play for development. A Malad City, Idaho, company applied in November on behalf of the property’s owner to demolish the former Sizzler restaurant that has stood empty for years on the northwest corner of the park at 2111 S. 1300 East. Records show the permit is nearing approval. Fencing has gone up around the 0.82-acre property and rigs are poised to help raze the iconic eatery and haul its guts off to the landfill. The empty building has seen incidents of trespassing, according to a real estate agent representing the owner, a family company in Salt Lake City called Romney Farr Properties. The choice spot by the park just off Interstate 80 is considered one of the more commercially desirable locations in and around Sugar House’s rapidly growing central business district. The site got re-marketed to other potential developers over the summer after the city planning commission vetoed plans in April for a Kum & Go convenience store and gas station there, citing environmental and traffic concerns. Few recent developments in what’s often dubbed Salt Lake City’s second downtown have drawn that much public opposition, with hundreds of residents weighing in. The Iowa-based Kum & Go chain has since been bought by the parent company of Maverik, the Salt Lake City-based convenience store chain, but Kum & Go is still obligated to a 20-year lease it signed on the property adjacent to the popular park, according to broker Kip Paul of Cushman & Wakefield. Maverik is said to have a new developer interested in building a hotel on the property, according to Paul. Attempts to reach officials with FJ Management, Maverik’s parent company, were not immediately successful. The notion of returning the property to some kind of hospitality use has come up before. Past efforts, though, have hit challenges over a lack of available parking space, getting additional building height approved under the property’s existing zoning and the thorny prospect of obtaining a state-authorized liquor license in proximity to park grounds. The planning commission’s 9-1 vote to reject Kum & Go’s application for a conditional use permit there also cited potential impacts on the park, air quality and secondary water supplies in nearby Parleys Creek. Since then, city planners have also drafted a new set of minimum distances that newly built gas stations can be from rivers, streams and other bodies of water, as well as parks and open spaces. The Sugar House Community Council, meanwhile, has seen several ideas for the property since the gas station was turned down, including the prospect of new apartments, but those options are severely limited, according one key member. “You can’t build a luxury apartment building if you don’t have parking,” said Judi Short, chair of the council’s land use and zoning committee. Going underground for parking, she noted, is precluded by a nearby earthen dam. A proposal to preserve the space through a land swap involving property closer to Highland High School fell through, Short said. The city has also sought to purchase the property, without success. For now, the site’s future after the Sizzler goes remains a question mark. . |

No doubt the seismic upgrade and rejuvenation of Salt Lake City's iconic Temple Square Campus is huge by any standard. Tradesmen in the know continue to try and guess as to the cost of such a mammoth project. While no exact dollar amount has been officially released to the general public all agree the sum total is in the multiple billions. Recently, one of Salt Lake's two preeminent newspapers, 'The Salt Lake Tribune' delved into what comes after this latest round of Temple Square redevelopment. Here are excerpts from that article which confirmed many common rumors circulated widely throughout the religious and secular community for many years now. Keep in mind that many of the redevelopment ideas will undergo several reiterations. However, many of the forward-thinking proposals that were presented were a solid foundation upon which Salt Lake City's northern downtown sector will likely undergo a continued major renaissance over the upcoming decade leading up to the 2034 Olympics. Current Temple Square setup. Note in upcoming plans how the structures fronting the Historic Temple at the north and south will be demolished and replaced in different positions in their relationship to the Temple itself. The more modern structures that previously fronted the Temple on both north and south sides will be removed and new structures with a more historic vibe will be constructed and mover further toward the east and west ends of the Temple. This will open up from the main throughfares the architectural beauty of the historic structures approach. Landscaping and water features will also be redeveloped, again affording the historic Temple improved outward embracing site lines. Note, a significant part of the redevelopment is subterranean structures and seismic upgrades. In this aerial below notice the mostly empty 20 acres of parking immediately to the west of the Temple Campus. That is the area that will see most of the major upcoming redevelopment spoken of by the Tribune article as soon as the current focus is completed. Even though loathed in recent years by the community itself those parking lots serve a valuable overflow purpose for the multitude of special events involving the Convention Center, the NBA arena, millions of annual tourist and pilgrim visits, and the L.D.S. Church's myriad of special events. However, if Salt Lake's past and recent history is any indication, the valuable parking space will move underground two or more levels Rendering of sightline improvement views from the street perspective to the north. Compare renderings below to pre-redevelopment blocked street views of the pre-construction photo of Temple Square above. Rendering of sightline improvement views from the street perspective to the south. Street views of the prominent historic Temple itself were formerly blocked by a solid wall and modern-day structural additions. |
