I don't think anybody is really suggesting that they don't care or are unaware about that issue. I wish for nothing more than the government to step up and do their job, but they've long since proven that they couldn't care less about the working class, and the overall handling of the pandemic has been botched so disastrously, the rest of the developed world is looking at us just glad that at least they're not the U.S.

I am not worried about some of the 2nd Phase for the West Quarter (Block 67). This is mostly because it was always planned to be done minor phases if needed.

The first portion will be the 26 story apartment tower. Next would be determined by demand either the 20+ story Commercial tower or the 13 -15 story hotel. All 3 buildings will share a podium.

I think that The Cascade can be dropped from the list for the 2020's. There are at few more that could be added to this list:

30+ story apartment NE corner 3rd South 2nd East where the Tavernacle is located.
20+ story apartment approximately 625s Main
15+ story apartment NW corner 3rd South 2nd East
12+ story apartment NW corner 1st South 2nd East
10 story offce - 655 S West Temple (2nd phase Patrinely project)
10 story office/mixed use - North Temple 5th West (Salt Development)
12+ story UTA office - Central Station

I have heard of a few others as well. Primarily residential towers and at least 2 purely commercial.

I think that SLC has stepped up a level from its history and do think we will eclipse the boom of the 1980's. I don't think we will see all of the proposed projects built though but it is nice to dream.

I feel the sale is extremely healthy for the local economy. The Millers just owned too many things in Utah. Diversification is good.

[Boz]

A Jazz championship?

Laugh my effing ass off.

Haven't been paying much attention to world news, huh? Europe is in much the same boat as the States. The countries that are doing well are either islands or authoritarian states. Not defending the US handling of the virus, just pointing out that we're far from alone in this. Just a couple articles showing as much:

I hadn't previously realized how much of a boom there was in the 80s. Those aren't really tall buildings by today's standard but filling in the CBD with those 10-20 story buildings set a ground work for the 20-30+ buildings we are seeing now. Hopefully we look back on our current time a catalyst for even taller buildings in the future.

Their case counts are still far lower than ours. Not to mention those countries are actually helping their people financially. I'm not saying other countries aren't struggling as well, but most of those countries are doing far more to help their people and small businesses than we are - not to mention they have the appropriate social services to keep their population afloat.

We could go down the rabbit hole on this topic forever so we don't have to continue that conversation. Let's just say I'm hoping for some big changes on Tuesday.

This is absolutely NOT the place for this conversation and the last place people want to continue hearing about this haha. Unless we are talking about how it’s directly affecting Urban planning, architecture, Landscape architecture, environmental design, etc.

I love how you make strong political statements and then say we shouldn't discuss them. Case counts and infection rates are not the same thing. Cases are defined as positive tests. The US tests much more than Brazil or India, so our CASE count is higher, but we don't really know about the INFECTION count. Common sense would suggest they are much higher in many other countries given that they have huge cities with dense populations and a lack of testing.

And is 2 trillion dollars not "helping financially?" Yes, some went to large corporations, but those corporations do employ vast numbers of people. Maybe it would have been more expedient to give more directly to individuals, but most people got checks and many small business got forgivable loans, so long as they didn't lay people off. The company I work for is one of them, and it absolutely helped us through a couple bad months. There will always be a debate on the proper roll of government, but to say the US government hasn't done anything to help the populace is just plain false, and everything done has to be paid for somehow eventually. Driving the nation deeper in debt has consequences too.

Keep up that hope for big changes on Tuesday, but unless a third party is elected, you won't get them. Both parties pay lip service to their constituency while consolidating power for themselves and their circles. One party may help you individually more than the other, but Washington is a shell game; "keep your eye on the ball! This is what's important!".

Apologies. I'm done, regardless of any other posts.

As a side note, I'm not going through the whole rigmarole of posting pics on this site, but the new ARUP building is virtually complete, and good progress is being made on the new Myriad building, to give a Research Park update. There has been fairly continuous construction there for several years now with the Biofire building being the last large addition.

What are these buildings? I don't think any of us are familiar with them?

I just snapped a pic but again, I'm not on any photo hosting sites, so I don't think I can just post a pic directly from my desktop to this website, can I?

Here is Myriad's: It has been a while since I drove by it, but I think the foundation work is done at this point, and maybe it's a bit further along than that.

This is potentially unsubstantiated but I heard that Salt Development (the ones that did Hardware Village and 4th West) is involved in a multifamily project just south of Trolley Square. Not sure if this is the same project that we have seen renderings for long ago.

Just look up free image hosting websites, and there are a bunch of them. Upload your saved image to the site, and it will give you a web address or link to post in forums like this. Here is one site that I use:

Hi everybody, I just recently discovered this community, and am excited that there is shared interest seeing how SLC develops into an ever growing urban center.

I can't promise I'll post often, but I was inspired to take a tour around downtown a couple afternoons ago and take pictures of the various projects going on. Hope you all enjoy!
