What Downtown Salt Lake City needs most on State, Main, and W. Temple is more residential foot traffic generated by multiple Kensingston size residential towers. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that both Kensington and Pantages will soon
become a reality, and both will be successful enough to generate more demand for tall residential towers downtown. Also Hopefully, the new CCH will generate more future boutique hotels such as The Regent, with a luxe-residential use mixed in.
I think projects like a Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton, etc. mixed-use could do really well in Salt Lake City. I don't know that the market for for-sale units would yet be brisk enough, but there is definitely a strong demand for luxury rental. They
can always convert to for-sale when the market demands.

I guess one of the sons has established himself here and they're about to make some major moves on the Salt Lake City area, particularly Central 9th. Looks like another quality developer from outside the local market will be bringing
some interesting residential projects to SLC in the near future.
Row Seventeen - A collection of 32 townhome-style residences in the Ballpark Neighborhood of Salt Lake City. Apparantly these for sale units either sold out or were under contract before they even
finished the project

The Slate and The Sydney - I remember this development being covered by BuildingSaltLake. Taylor Anderson covered it this time a year ago...LINK - https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/con...s-central-9th/ .
Everyone will remember it because of the site being contaminated by the former Henries drycleaners. They still seem to be intent on developing the property. The Slate and The Sydney are meant to be developed side by side. I hope
this project is proceeding as it would have a major impact for the entire area. Perhaps UTPlanner or one of you knows of any current progress they've made. Last we heard 'Alfandre' wanted to take the project taller, not wanting to dig
into the property for subterranean parking. Instead, they would place a barrier underneath to mitigate any contamination, and place the parking at the base floors, surrounded by commercial and residential. Nimby's are against that
because they feel the scale of the neighborhood would be lost. Problem is, any project whatever it is will never pencil out unless they are either allowed to go higher or the government pays for the cost of removing the contamination.
