Fashion Place Mall Renderings
Not sure if these have been posted yet or not. But they look new to me. Fashion Place Renderings. http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/8...lace2ndlk9.jpg http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/7...lace3rdpx2.jpg http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/7...lace4thbt1.jpg http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/3...lace355cn7.jpg Renderings from www.mulvannyg2.com What I think... These renderings dose make the mall look more updated with design and fashion. However it's still just a indoor mall. I don't think I would even call it a redevelopment. It's more of a remodel. There will be a new Nordstrom that is now getting built on the North end. Just like the old Nordstrom the new store will be windowless with grant walls going all the way around. :( The old Nordstrom building will stay as part of the lifestyle and mall expansion. One thing I do like is that there will be a parking deck/garage on the North/east end just behind where the new Dillard's will go. Over all this project isn't as great as the Cottonwood project or CCC. But it's still a improvement to what it is now. What do you guys think? |
East I-15
I know this a side topic but I have to say that I really do love how so many projects with noticeable hieght are being developed on the east side. I say this from a visual point of view, not to bring up cultural demographics. I was driving east bound on I-80 to go north bound on I-15. When i arrived at the top of the S. Bowl I could see all the east side from north to south. Starting from Downtown, then imagining what market station would look like, down to the IHC Hostpital then to the Jordan Commons Biulding thus imagining what those three proposed towers in sandy would add to the image. I am excited for the development taking place along the east and the density that will come with it.

You would have been on 201, not I-80. Just a minor detail. :frog: |
your right. 201.

Your right Timesaltlake. That will be a awesome view in a few years with all those new towers.

Family, mountains inspire Sandy complex architect
http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1...245727,00.html http://www.deseretnews.com/photos/midres/5727932.jpg The proposed Proscenium real-estate development includes a hotel, spa condominiums, a school and a Broadway-style theater. (Bts. Investments) SANDY — Architect Russell Platt's designs for the Proscenium theater complex were inspired by his art-loving family and his daily runs in the mountains of the Wasatch Front. The undulating curves of the proposed three glass towers are a tribute to the majesty of water-carved granite found in Utah's peaks, he said. And "green" elements such as walkability, high density, a garden atop one roof and wind-powered turbines disguised as sculptural elements will help ensure those mountains can be enjoyed for years to come. The modernistic structures will achieve a timeless look with the curves, and use of space and materials, Platt said. The first building is expected to house a 2,400-seat Broadway roadhouse theater, a performing-arts high school, offices, a spa and hotel and high-end condominiums. A ritzy private club providing panoramas of the valley from 40 stories up could top off the project. . |

40-stories? |
lol!!!! Utah's tallest would be in Sandy?
That sounds like such a "Sandy" thing to do. |
The part of the article that bothers me is that they state that they don't want the project in downtown SLC because of a light issue.
If that was the real reason, why wouldn't they just work with the city to build closer to I-15? Not much there to block the light. I honestly don't see the buildings being built at 30 stories let alone 40. The people are complaining that 30 is to high. Of course, if they do break ground for 30+ stories, I would expect a quick release and construction timetable to beat Sandy. Nothing against Sandy but the project is just to big for them at this time. Scale down by 50% and I think it would fit a lot better. |

I agree with you Makid. Going from one 10 story building in Sandy to having 3 40 story towers is a huge jump for any city, quadrupaling the height and doing it 3 times. I don't think the demand is there right now. I would think something like a two 20-25 story buildings in the initial phase with the infastructure to support a third or maybe even a forth tower down the road, maybe a 30+ and a 40+ in 5-20 years when the demand is there. The quadrupaling of the height 3 times would be like a developer suddenly building 3 104 story towers in DT SLC. Ok since Jordan Commons in on the hill we'll only triple the actual elevation. So that would be like DT SLC getting three 78 story building. Somebody call Earl, tell him we think he should do it :tup: |

Could be in Sandy, It could be in Lehi. Come on Salt Lake City let's see a new tallest. :whip: |
who's kidding who? fools dreaming?
40 story towers in Sandy? Towers evoking families and mountains? huh????
Yah, right? :jester: :jester: :jester: It's not so much about the design concept of mountains and families(I think all of that is somewhat made up), it's the ridiculous thinking that there is demand for that or that Sandy should have these kinds of towers. Someone please kick Tom Dolan out of office! He's an arrogant, ignorant, selfish, brat who doen't like to play fair with other kids his own age. I think this should be thrown away as a fool's dream. :jester: :jester: :jester: These guys are dreaming!!!! MARK MY WORDS: THIS WILL BE SCALED DOWN TO 10 STORIES, MAYBE, IF ANY GET BUILT AT ALL! The reason these guys aren't proposing this in Salt Lake is because Salt Lake is too smart to believe in naieve little inexperienced developers who actually think their development is going to be be at this scale! |

Orlando, it seems that you and I finally agree on something. :tup: |
I agree. At the very MOST this thing will be scaled back to a couple 10 story towers. I suspect, however, that this thing never sees the light of day.
|
I think the nail in the Proscenium coffin will be when SLC inks a deal for a theater in downtown. Sorry TOM! :( :lmao:

Ugly!!!

I thought you out of all people would have more of a open mind towards the "Proscenium project" Am I the only one who thinks this project will be a good thing for the South end of the valley? I do agree that I can't see this project getting three 40-story towers. But I do see it at least 20 stories. Sure this project could get scaled down a bit. But I believe with the growth on the South end of the valley that there is a enough of a demand to help support this kind of a project. I would like to see Sandy break the 10-story limit and get a few highrises. I don't think the Towers will look that bad. Can't be any worst then some of the new class condo towers getting built in Vegas. :yes: But I guess time will tell. :rolleyes: |
