This reminds me so much of the current movement in Great Britain away from suburban shopping malls, and towards dynamic indoor/outdoor retail/commercial and living complexes in renovated or closed-to-vehicular-traffic streets in the centers of cities. City Creek Center, to me, is such a cutting-edge, modern development and will be a boon to downtown Salt Lake City. In addition, it will really put this city on the map as a model for future urban developments in cities elsewhere in the nation and the world.

:tup: Two thumbs up SLC! :tup:

:tup: Two thumbs up SLC! :tup:

I hope you're right! And I agree for the most part. It still has a bit of that 'mall' feel, especially by having 2 floors of retail and all, but of course it's open and centered right in the middle of downtown, and works well with its surroundings. It's a huge step up from suburban malls, and especially suburban indoor malls that are built downtown.

The developers spent a lot of time working with the city, urban developers, and the public to put this together. It originally was going to be much different. I'm glad they took the advice into consideration.

[philvia]

so it's a regular mall without a main roof

[TonyAnderson]

Kind of. Actually it will have a retractable roof. The other main difference is its plunked right in the middle of two, already developed, downtown blocks, and there will be some apartments above the retail. They're also building 4 condo towers, office space, and a grocery store with it.

Speaking of which:

Harmons breaks ground on downtown grocery store
July 8th, 2010 @ 6:50pm, By Richard Piatt

http://www.ksl.com/emedia/slc/2202/220255/22025565.jpg?filter=ksl/pgallery

http://www.ksl.com/emedia/slc/2201/220176/22017610.jpg

SALT LAKE CITY -- A key component of Salt Lake City's downtown City Creek project broke ground Thursday. It's the first step toward a full-service grocery store in the downtown core, something that's been missing for more than a quarter century.

A crew broke ground on the new Harmons store at 100 South and 200 East. There are a lot of people who are excited over a grocery store coming in here, but it's not just any grocery store. The folks at Harmons traveled around the world to get ideas about what would work in the downtown spot.

The first shovel of dirt for the new Harmons is the last groundbreaking of the entire City Creek project. By next fall, a full-service Harmons will occupy the spot -- a key part of the City Creek Project.

I love this project...it will completely change downtown Salt Lake City. With this downtown will be much more of a hotspot and place to be. So going off of what I read on here Macy's and Nordstrom will be the main anchors? When might they release other tenants? I would think very upscale stores would do quite well there!

[TonyAnderson]

Yes, those will be the two anchors. And the Macy's entrance will be VERY sleek, a la NYC's Apple store: (to the right of the building)

http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4042/4312930604_c97e49c04f_b.jpg

They've been pretty mum on the rest of the tenants, except to say they haven't been having problems finding them. They've recently announced a national brand gym is about to be leased.

Very nice I love it. So that entire building to the left of the entrance will be the new Macy's? Looks like a massive flagship store...I like it! Great news about the national brand gym too...that will be a great addition!

[TonyAnderson]

No, that is an office building being built as part of the project. The Macy's is the entrance, and it opens up a bit behind the building, which you can't really see from this angle.

Those are some great pictures.

[NYC2ATX]

I constantly cannot believe the amount of detail going into this project. This is really going to set up a downtown that you Salt Lakers will be able to take great pride in.

[evanmack]

I cannot really tell from the pictures so percentage wise how far done is the city creek center. The video and renderings are very beautiful.

[TonyAnderson]

Well the entirety of it should be open by 2012, so there's still a bit less than 2 years left. Some things are already open, such as a couple of condo buildings and a food court. The condo towers, apartments, and grocery store will be open by 2011.

[Obey]

This is such gorgeous huge project that I am very happy about. I cannot believe this went unnoticed to me. I think might just visit Salt Lake City just for this.

[TonyAnderson]

Obey, it's very impressive in person :tup:

[Marv95]

I'm thoroughly impressed as well with all the thought and input that is going into this development. It could have just been another mall.


Regent high-rise on track to open up in mid-2011

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700065001/Regent-high-rise-on-track-to-open-up-in-mid-2011.html

...After two years of steady progress, in less than a year from now, knock on steel, The Regent should be home to downtown dwellers in 150 condo units, providing they sell them all, which is looking more and more probable...

http://www.deseretnews.com/photos/midres/3728217.jpg
Steve Bennett, Jacobsen Construction's site superintendent, gives a tour of one of the Regent at City Creek condominiums in downtown Salt Lake City. (Michael Brandy, Deseret News)

...Dale Bills, a City Creek spokesperson and one of the men wearing a hard hat in the penthouse, reports that The Regent already has 90 reservations for its 150 units — and that's not just talk. Those reservations include $7,500 deposits. The deposits are fully refundable, it's true, but, still, 90 customers are serious enough about living at The Regent that they've tied up $7,500 during an economic downturn when the project is nearly a year out.

Through the block, at the just-completed 90-unit Richards Court condos, Bills reports that 14 units have closed and 13 more are under contract — almost 30 percent capacity.

And next to that, the 185-unit, 30-story Promontory Tower hasn't even started taking reservations, and already people have put their names on what Bills terms an "interest list."

You never know, once the condos are finished, they could be as busy as when they were being built...

The Regent condominiums are scheduled to be completed in mid-2011 and will include 150 housing units. Ninety are already reserved by potential residents. (Michael Brandy, Deseret News)

I usually cant stand anything the LDS church does but since they funded this project and take pride in their downtown, well, I guess I can respect them a little for that. This project is absolutely amazing, and is way way better than the crap it replaced. I havent been to SLC since 2000, its completely changed for the better. I cant believe that its 20 acres and the level of detail in some of the construction is above anything you see in more American cities today. Absolutely fascinating.

I understand that the building with the columns was the historic Neiman Marcus or something like that of which they torn down and are now putting back together the historic facade. Were there any other historic buildings torn down for this project?

I was trying to find what stood at this site but couldnt find much except this.

The old historical facade that is being installed over the front of the new City Creek Center Macy's entrance on Main Street is a historical monument to America's first department store, ZCMI.

Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zions_Cooperative_Mercantile_Institution

Zions Cooperative Mercantile Institution was founded in 1868, by Brigham Young and was one of the earliest department stores in the United States. For many years, it used the slogan, "America's First Department Store".

Even though the Latter-day Saints had lived in the Salt Lake area for some 20 years by that time, they were despised by the surrounding community, as Young had disparaged non-Mormon merchants and encouraged these businesses to be boycotted in 1866.[1] Price gouging was commonplace as non-Mormons raised prices on necessary goods for Mormon patrons. Even Mormon business owners found themselves being charged higher prices by wholesalers who discovered they were dealing with Mormons. Partly because of the impending completion of the railroad, and partly to create a more fair business atmosphere, it was Brigham Young's idea to encourage Mormon businesses to band together under one roof. By pooling their resources, they were able to make larger orders to sell materials and goods exclusively (at the time) to fellow LDS members. Even wholesalers who disliked the idea of doing business with Mormons could see a good thing; larger orders meant bigger profits and making their prices competitive allowed the Mormon businessmen to increase the size and frequency of their orders. Although it was always called Zions Cooperative Mercantile Institution, it was the passing of time that finally caused all those independent businesses to meld into what truly became, "America's First Department Store".

ZCMI became a formidable business force, eventually manufacturing its own line of boots and shoes, and a line of work clothes. It also sold everything from housing needs, lumber, nails, and the like, to household needs such as fabric, needles, thread, food preservation products, furniture, and draperies, even some beauty products; nearly everything the pioneers needed to survive and thrive.[2]

Based in Salt Lake City, Utah, it quickly became a household name in the community. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was a significant influence in the company, retaining a majority interest in ZCMI until its eventual sale. The store was established by a vote from the Council of Fifty, an early organization in the LDS church.

In December 1999, as a result of negative profit results for two consecutive years along with mounting economic and social pressures, ZCMI was sold to the May Department Stores Company (now Macy's, Inc.). ZCMI operated under its original name as a part of May's Portland, Oregon-based Meier & Frank division until April 2002, when the stores adopted the Meier & Frank name. In addition to the name change, the stores in Logan, St. George, Idaho Falls, and Pocatello were sold to Dillard's. By August 2002, the stores were further consolidated within May into the company's Los Angeles, California division, Robinsons-May, though retaining the Meier & Frank nameplate.

The front facade of the ZCMI is being prepared to be reincorporated into the new City Creek Center as of May 2010, retaining the original ZCMI nameplate as a front for Macy's.

Here is a rendering of how it will look when finished in the new City Creek Center development.
http://www.deseretnews.com/photos/midres/5597483.jpg

Though, it now looks like the facade will end up in a more ornate green and cream color combination with gold colored accents judging by some of the images posted by John Martin. Both the brown and the green color schemes look equally stunning to me.

Well...the building being demolished in that video is what stood there. Unless you meant somewhere else? The only other historic building that was really torn down for this project was the 'Inn at Temple Square': (and you can also see the white key bank building that you asked about just behind it in the first picture)

The rest was basically just the old suburban-ish mall

Man, this project has made quite a bit of progress since I last checked. That center circular court is quite amazing.

SALT LAKE CITY — About 30 of the condo units in Promontory Tower, a high rise residential building that's part of the City Creek development, have been sold since being put on the market about two months ago.

Mark Gibbons, president of City Creek Reserve, said a third of the units in the Richards Court development have sold, and another 90 of 150 units in a building under construction have "reservation agreements" in place.

This reminds me a bit of the Sony Center in Berlin.

Great updates and I'm sorry about that CONCACAF final and then that Portland loss.

[TonyAnderson]

Your condolences are appreciated. Though the CONCACAF loss hurt much deeper. It was a home game and we only needed a draw, and this was after drawing against them in Mexico.

Yeah, I was really surprised. I thought Salt Lake would crush Monterrey at home. And now Morales is hurt. Tough season for you guys.
