Yeah, I saw Atlas on the news last night as well. Hopefully - The Rio Grand Project will become a reality.

I think that as soon as the numbers return to a more attractive scenario we'll see something along the line of a hotel/residential.
I'd like to clarify that we don't own this site. I was referring to the Burt Bros. tire location across Broadway from The Worthington. But I agree about the Dakota Pacific site on Regent Street. It's a phenomenal location, and I hope they're able to figure out a way to develop it.

Thanks! In some ways we were trying to keep some of the heat island effect from impacting the outdoor amenity areas that are predominantly on that side of the building. Glass can exacerbate that.

Schmoe, I am a fan of Astra. Love having a new tallest in SLC. I appreciate your insights and ability to keep a pleasant tone with this group.

It likely predicts population loss in many of the older-ring suburbs (such as Millcreek, Murray, Sandy) and growth in Salt Lake City/South Jordan/Herriman etc. That is similar to what the Census Bureau predicted from 2021-2022.

The Kem Gardner Policy Institute does their own predictions and I believe it estimated population growth in Salt Lake County. Whatever the methodology differences between the two is, it's leading to significant differences in population estimates.

On the Wall Street Journal's "WSJ What's News" podcast, yesterday, they said that, post COVID, allot of large cities would be loosing population if not for immigration. Apparently immigrants are moving to large cities while everone else is moving out of them. They specifically mentioned Salt Lake City as one of those. I don't know if they were referring to the city proper or to the MSA.

A good chunk of the US would lose population if it wasn't for immigration.

In fact, our economy probably would not have bounced back nearly as nicely if not for our immigration. International migrants have accounted for 70% of the US' population growth.

It lost another 8 more last November. After my mother passed away who we were living with, my wife and I moved our family to Omaha. As much as I love the Salt Lake City area and Utah in general, my wife and I needed a change to somewhere cheaper to live.

Demolition has begun on the parking structure under the Capitol Plaza.





The Stadler Canteen has made incredible progress.

I suspect all the equipment at 20 S 600 W is just supporting some sort of utility project.
