Not new development, but not every day that you see an 18,000 SF building moved.

Anyone heard anything on this project lately? The developer is someone to be taken seriously, so I'm wondering if it had managed to be financed before the outbreak, or if it will be postponed for a while.

The Summit at Cairns projectis supposed to start construction this year. At least that is what it says on the Raddon Development website. I really hope this project gets completed. I live just like three blocks away from there.

There hasn't been any significant developments in West Jordan for awhile. However, I heard that ground will be broken on Copper Rim this quarter. Copper Rim is supposed to have some pretty good sized MFR and some nice commercial space. Also, I saw some renderings on BVD, Inc. of the next phase of the Jordan Valley Station Develpoment. The plans call for some 5+ story office buildings, and the whole development looks like it will be surprisingly dense for anywhere outside of Downtown SL or Sandy. I dont know if anyone else has been following that develpoment, but it is actually a pretty well developed project. It is going to be very walkable, with ground floor retail space, as well as mixed use commercial and office buildings. Also in West Jordan, the Wood Family, which owns a large ranch on the west end of the city, has proposed a large mixed use development that will span over 500 acres. There will be mixes of reseidential developments, as well as office, retail and commercial. The majority of the project looks mostly suburban, but it will include several "urban village" centers that will have high density housing and other uses. In the document they submitted to the city, they said pedestrian friendliness would be a very important factor. In those mixed use zones, there would be a maximum setback of 10 feet from the street, and all buildings in those zones would require there to be street interaction. I think the most interesting factor in this project is the fact that they will be setting aside land along railway right-of-ways for the future development of light rail. They specifically said that they wanted there to be development along rail lines. With this and projects like Copper Rim and Olympia Hills, it looks like there might actually be some fairly well designed high density centers in the western portion of the county. Fingers Crossed. I live in the western half of the county, and I'd really like to see some more high density development over here.

I know that most of us dont comment on this thread very often, so it might be a few days before I come back on. If any of you guys have any information regarding projects inWest Jordan, could you post it? I know West Jordan is pretty much the most suburban city in SL county, so there usually isn't much going on, but if you guys hear about anyhtiong, let me know. I'd really like a reason to keep living here, but there isn't much as of yet to keep me, if you know what I mean.

Sounds very promising. I think the West and South Jordan areas are going to become a very attractive area over the next ten years. Just need to keep the transportation needs up to speed with the hyper development.
I guess this is the area your describing at Jordan Station being developed by Boulder Ventures Development. I see that these are the same people who did some pretty cool work in Sugar House.
It took me a visit to their website to remember who they are. It's been a while since we've talked about them.

There are backhoes excavating on the site of the Boyer Office Building proposal on State street and roughly 2150 South (immediately to the south of the new townhomes and Winco). Anyone know if that's an official start to construction?

SSL - Boyer Site
 

No new construction yet. From what I've heard, current work is environmental remediation; the backhoes are removing old underground tanks.

That is a very uh....optimistic commute time there. :haha:

So I did some digging on this and I found that they did get an approval from the Sandy City Council back in April 2019. However, I don't think they've presented anything to the Sandy Planning Commission yet, which I think means they can't start construction right now.

In addition to the Summit, here are some renderings from a Sandy Planning Commission meeting back in May 2019 of the nearby Centennial Towers project. The planned development has three (!) towers: a 12-story residential tower, a 15-story office tower, and a 17-story hotel tower, as well as a big parking garage and a block of townhomes. This preliminary site plan was approved.

Here are the renderings from the video:


Right now, I think its safe to say that Sandy is making the strongest play to have the "second downtown" of the Salt Lake Valley.

Sandy has proposed major projects and skyscrapers before and delivered exactly never. So I'll believe it when I see it.

Prison Site Redevelopment - Point of Mountain
 

I just stumbled upon this...someone please post the images.

Wow, full on impressed with their lack of imagination and density. With the push for Trax and FrontRunner, you would expect that there would be more transit orientation and less focus on personal vehicles.

I'm actually quite impressed. I think they have really tried to emphasize the transit here. I also like how they are not showing any highrises and no single family homes. It's walkable and well-connected.

Magna MasterPlan
 

Here's another masterplan I stumbled upon today:

https://smartech.gatech.edu/bitstrea...=1&isAllowed=y

https://304ljw4amcep3ali496xph6b-wpe...lan-2-1900.jpg

From this image, the purple area is the best transit area. This is good but my problem with this is that this route is primarily residential with only minimal mixed use areas. The area on the east side, between the Orange and I-15 is the high intensity commercial area.

I think it would be better to swap or at least intermingle this in the area between the purple and orange areas. This would reduce the need for so many parking garages which could then be utilized as green space or as additional development areas.

I do like the plan better than some others that I have heard about but I do think that they should work to increase the density and intensity along the Purple section and lessen it in other areas if they are worried about the total overall amounts.

I'm honestly not looking forward to the Point of the Mountain sapping development potential from downtown. I've seen rhetoric about it helping to "shift the center of mass southward" and "being the new downtown," and that sort of rubs me the wrong way. It could end up being a "rising tide lifts all boats" type of deal but I'm not so sure that will be the case. Utah still doesn't really have a lot of national recognition, although that seems to be changing slowly.

The plan itself looks fine but it's nothing groundbreaking, IMO. There is a metric ton of parking lots/garages in the plan and, while those ground-level renderings are made to look very cosmopolitan, inter-modal, and urban the aerial renders scream "large suburban office park" to me. Come to think of it, the ground-level renderings seem to have entirely different designs/heights compared to the aerial ones. They look like different iterations of the plan to me.
