I know for a fact Norway is not plopping islands down in the middle of lakes. They have reclaimed small bits of land (like a few acres) from the sea to push developments out further, which they've done for decades. |
The Utah Lake island proposal is a disaster in the making that should never see the light of day. It sounded bad when it was first announced and it looks even worse now.

I agree it's unlikely, but I'm not going to underestimate the stupidity and greed of developers and politicians.

Just an FYI, core samples are being taken today for the office building and parking structure for the recently announced project in Sandy.
It is movement but I am still doubtful of it happening but wanted to share. |

I honestly think the developed island thing is more likely to happen than we think. People in the legislature and developers/real estate people who deal in Utah County are serious about a bridge at least, not to mention a lot of residents in Utah County actually want it. I don't get it but it's been talked about a ton and it's a forgone conclusion for many at this point. The question now seems to be not if the bridge will be built but how many bridges. I believe this proposal includes 4 roads across the lake.
Reclamation/dredging has been talked about for years and has a ton of support. But there is no way to pay for it. The current Utah Lake Restoration proposal may not happen as is but there's an experienced team behind it with an ability to gather investment--and that's a concern for anyone who doesn't want this to happen. If failure to get initial investment doesn't stop this thing then only fierce public opposition will. That could happen but I'm not entirely sure it will. They'll make a few adjustments to the proposal as a result of the environmental studies and to try to appease any who might oppose it, but I think they proposed grand developments with the intent of scaling them back at the right time to make it look like a concession. |

15 or 18 story building with the sky bridge over the road to another shorter building and the restaurant in the bridge. I think it was announced in June maybe. Edit: Found a link https://www.ksl.com/article/46530886...story-building |
Hey guys, why are we talking about the Utah Lake proposal in the Salt Lake MSA thread? This should be in the Provo MSA thread.
Makid, The link doesn't work. Is it the Prestige? https://i1.wp.com/www.buildingsaltla...8%2C1024&ssl=1 https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/san...ontinues-boom/ |

To see what Utah and SLC did to the creeks like Red Butte, City Creek, and emigration with the dirt fill and culverts. Such shit. all those culverts if they had been bridges could have been iconic pieces of architecture even if small. I'mm thinking of the area around Miller Park (1500 E 1200 S) in SLC So cool if it had been built as a Art Deco type bridges instead of the shitty culverts. |

New Mixed Use Development - South Salt Lake
Hi All. I've been checking on development in the Salt Lake area via this forum for a LONG time now and thought it was finally time for a first post.
I may have missed a previous post on the development below, but I think it may have flown under the radar, so I'll post a link below(or rather text to copy and paste -- the 'insert link' button on here does some strange things): https://sslc.com/uploads/PC_Staff_Re...ision_Fina.pdf This is located at the SW corner of Utopia Ave. and Main Street and includes a ten story mixed-use residential building and a six story mixed use office building with plans for another. The developer is Dakota Pacific and I think it can add some considerable momentum to the development game in the downtown SSL area. I hope this post works - thanks for reading! :cheers: |
Welcome to the forum!
I saw the proposal for that the other day and I agree it will help a lot in that area. |
Developer plans to make Utah site the first new full-service ski resort in country since 1980 Project underway for Mayflower Resort west of Jordanelle, close to Deer Valley Amy Donaldson - Deseret News - https://www.deseretnews.com/article/...ince-1980.html PARK CITY — For nearly 40 years, no developer has managed to build and open a new, full-service ski resort, but it's not because there wasn't demand for one or a desire to do so. "I know that the mountains are littered with developers who thought they were going to do something and nothing happened," said Gary Barnett, founder and chairman of Extell Development Company, who unveiled plans Monday for a ski resort and village that includes hotels, condominiums and residential housing. "I mean, nothing has really been done in the country in the last 30 years, since Beaver Creek, really. … It's so hard to do."... https://media.deseretdigital.com/fil...c=6&a=e0717f4c Looking east toward Jordanelle Reservoir, Extell Development team members show the area where they plan to build the new Mayflower Mountain Resort near Deer Valley on Monday, Aug. 12, 2019. Photo By Scott G. Winterton, Deseret News So what makes a guy who doesn't even ski think he can do what no one else has managed since 1980? A unique set of circumstances and colleagues with a vision. "I think once again, one of the important things for us was the ability to tap into tax increment financing," he said, referring to the fact that Wasatch County had designated the Mayflower Resort area as a place where Utah's Military Industrial Development Agency could build a recreation hotel, which returns some of the property tax generated from development to developers in exchange for reduced fees for military personnel. "The fact that MIDA is there, supporting it and helping speed up the process, was a very necessary component for me to get involved. I would not have gotten involved otherwise," Barnett said. "The fact that we're on the same mountain as Deer Valley, that's a good starting point," he said. "And the fact that we've done a long term lease with them also helps. But certainly those things convinced me to go ahead and take this gamble... ...The project — Mayflower Mountain Resort — is ambitious in its scope, with plans for 5,600 acres that are just west of U.S. 40 and Jordanelle Reservoir (near Exit 8) and adjacent to Deer Valley that includes 1,520 residential units, 825 hotel rooms and commercial units and 600 skier parking spaces. It will be the first recreation project created to work with the military for the state, said Kurt Krieg, vice president of development. The Military Industrial Development Agency is a state-run economic development entity with a military focus, which in this case, offers ski resort vacation opportunities to military personnel at a fraction of the cost... Among the advantages the new resort will have is its proximity to one of the nation's top rated resorts — Deer Valley. "We have the ability to connect to Deer Valley," Barnett said, noting that Extell just renegotiated a lease of land to Deer Valley that makes the future more predictable for both entities. "Obviously, they'd have to purchase a Deer Valley ticket, but there is that ability to provide skiing. We feel like the access from our side of the mountain is exceptional." The location of Mayflower may offer it some unique advantages that other start-ups don't enjoy, including 35 minutes and no stop lights from the Salt Lake City International Airport to the freeway exit. "There is no other resort of this scale, maybe around the world, that I know of that is 35 minutes from a major, international airport," he said. "It's going to have access to everywhere. … That's the No. 1 thing Utah has going for it is this access. And we have straight highway, no traffic lights. … So we've got everything in our favor to get this thing done." The goal is to have the village and some ski runs open within five years...It also hopes to be supportive, if not involved in, Utah's bid for another Winter Olympics in 2030 or 2034. "We love the idea, and we'd love to be involved in it," he said. "Anything we do would have to be coordinated with Deer Valley and the state of Utah, but we certainly love the idea of playing a very active role. We hope we get it in 2030." https://media.deseretdigital.com/fil...c=6&a=e0717f4c Work on one of three water tanks is underway for the new Mayflower Mountain Resort near Deer Valley on Monday, Aug. 12, 2019. Scott G. Winterton, Deseret News Some of what Barnett and his team envision is similar to what's out there. Some of it is unique. But before they can begin to build anything, they are conducting a voluntary cleanup of the mountain, because the last mining companies left in 1969 without the resources to clean up any contamination. The land has been vacant, even as development occurred around it, in part because of the contamination and in part because it was owned by a foreign trust with a trustee who sought a higher price than anyone was willing to pay. As the trustees re-negotiated representation, the land became available and then it was a matter of cleaning up the contamination in order to develop it in the ways Extell envisions. On Monday, several members of the Extell team and the Military Industrial Development Agency representatives took media on a tour of the picturesque site, pointing out where ski lifts might be, where water tanks will be installed and how cleanup will work. In some places, as much as 18 inches of soil is being removed and it will be taken to a central location and capped, as is standard in these types of cases, according to Krieg, who led the tour. While no other full service resort has opened in the U.S. since 1980, about a half dozen terrain parks or ski resorts without on-site lodging have opened, including Cherry Peak, which is 20 minutes outside Logan, and two hours north of Salt Lake City. But nothing like most of Utah's resorts — and nothing like what Extell has planned for Mayflower Resort. "We have the makings of a really beautiful resort town," he said. "And that's what we're looking at doing." https://media.deseretdigital.com/fil...c=6&a=e0717f4c An artist rendering shows the finished development of the new Mayflower Mountain Resort near Jordanelle Reservoir and Deer Valley Resort on Monday, Aug. 12, 2019.

Continued...Black Rock Mountain Resort Development Condo development on S.R. 248 featuring hockey event center may open by end of 2019 Driving from Park City on S.R. 248 as the road turns southward and Brown’s Canyon opens to the east, there is a giant white-wrapped structure rising on a hill with twin cranes standing sentinel over the roadway. It’s a 250-unit condo/hotel/ice arena concept called the Black Rock Mountain Resort that aims to capitalize on what its developers see as the growing four-season attraction of this one-time winter-only destination. It’s also an example of the regional effects of the Park City area’s growth, with the complex intended to serve as an amenity hub for two other developments at the western end of Brown’s Canyon: Black Rock Ridge and the Deer Vista gated community. Altogether, the three developments are entitled to more than 700 units at the mouth of Brown’s Canyon, with the potential to reshape an area that’s growing faster than almost anywhere in the region and add traffic to a corridor that already suffers from significant rush hour congestion. All three are in Wasatch County and Black Rock Mountain Resort and Black Rock Ridge are being developed by Mark 25 Homes, whose president Justin Griffin said construction of the Black Rock Mountain Resort is progressing smoothly. He’s optimistic the first phase — a 69-unit building visible from S.R. 248 — will be finished and open by the end of this year. https://cdn.parkrecord.com/wp-conten...1-1024x511.jpg The first phase of the Black Rock Mountain Resort may open by the end of this year, its developers say. It features 69 condos and 30,000-square-feet of commercial space, and its envisioned as a future ice hockey events center with as many as three rinks. Photo By Christopher Samuels/Park Record . |
I think the Mayflower Resort is Extell's (Gary Barnett) first development in Utah.
I personally hope it is very successful and it encourages Extell to build something in downtown SLC. I know they develop both Residential and Commercial buildings and both are sorely needed. |

That's massive, but looks to be designed well and in a great location next to the end of the streetcar line and by the interstate and State Street. Bring on the density! Can someone please post the renderings on here? |
