Orlando, there is more than just the police station and 9 story building. There are apartments, hotel, and Granger Medical buildings in the area too.

I'm aware of the apartments and hotel, and I knew there were plans for more. Can you go get us some pics?

Sage Valley Apartments starting to be built on Redwood Rd and 4100 S in WVC by Rimrock Construction. 7 level, multi-building development with 449 total units. Excited that the old Kmart was demolished to make way for this development. From my experience, this is a high crime area mostly taking place in the apartment complexes to the North. I've seen drug deals done in broad daylight in the Smiths Parking lot across the street. There was also a drive-by shooting there too, so hopefully that won't scare any prospective tenants. Land owner originally wanted to build a storage unit facility so super stoked they decided to go with multi family housing.

I've been wondering what was going up there, thanks for that.

There are some big complexes of units going up on Redwood between about 2700 S and 4100 S, including two other ones on the east side of Redwood. One completely new, the other Lofts on Redwood has been growing for a while now.

Still single level (but multistory), and architecturally more interesting than some of the other suburban apartment complexes.

The same developer (Truong Properties) is doing Twenty-One Lofts in Sugarhouse on 2100 South, and those are nearing completion.

Pluralsight
 

It's a cool design, but it's too bad that Pluralsight didn't have the Foresight to build in downtown rather than in Sprawlville.
Same old stuff but in a newer wrap.

RADISSON HOTEL GROUP SIGNS A RADISSON BLU OVERLOOKING THE MOUNTAINS NEAR SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH

Radisson Hotel Group today announced the signing of Radisson Blu Sandy - Salt Lake City. The hotel, which will be managed by Radisson Hotel Group, will be part of a multi-phased, mixed-use development project with Raddon Development, called The Summit at the Cairns, designed by Beecher Walker Architects. The first phase of the project, comprised of a 13-story building, will feature conference facilities, a variety of guest rooms, a rooftop restaurant and bar, pool deck, full-service spa, fitness center, top level condominiums and parking structure.

“I am proud to be announcing the signing of this phenomenal hotel that will give guests a one-of-a-kind experience in the beautiful state of Utah,” said Phil Hugh, chief development officer, Americas, Radisson Hotel Group. “It has been incredible working alongside Raddon Development as they bring this exceptional development project to life, while creating a true destination for our guests with a variety of culinary options, shopping and activities for outdoor enthusiasts in this urban gem. The signing of this hotel displays our rapid growth of Radisson Blu in the recent months as we will be nearly doubling the brand’s portfolio in the Americas with four key hotel openings in Q4 of this year.”

Radisson Blu Sandy – Salt Lake City will offer 235 spacious and elegant guest rooms and suites. The hotel’s rooftop will feature FireLake Grill House & Cocktail Bar, a signature concept of Radisson Blu properties in the U.S., centered around live fire cooking and farm-to-table dining. Hosting a corporate function or special event will be an option within the hotel’s approximately 22,000 square feet of meeting space. The Amenity Deck is guaranteed to amaze guests with its state-of-the-art fitness center and both an indoor and outdoor pool and spa overlooking the stunning Wasatch Mountains. The hotel is anticipated to begin construction in Q4 2021.

“A full-service conference hotel has long been an important objective for the downtown Cairns area, but to have the added bonus of that hotel being an upscale global brand is a real jewel for the city,” said Mayor Kurt Bradburn of Sandy City. “Radisson Blu’s remarkable facilities and service along with their international presence is a perfect fit for our city and the valley as a whole.”

“We are thrilled to have Radisson Hotel Group and Sandy City as our partners on this highly anticipated new development,” said Ron Raddon, chairman, Raddon Development.

Looks like a similar design as before but they cut out the office section and made it 5 floors shorter. At 13 stories it will still be close to becoming the tallest building in Utah outside of SLC.

I skimmed through the Murray PC agenda today (warning: large pdf file) and there are some big things on the docket. First, there's a request by the property owners of the entire shopping center at 5300S and State for a rezone from General Commercial to Mixed Use, and it's mentioned that they are interested in developing a large mixed-use center there. Here's the property in question, where there is currently a Barnes & Noble, Best Buy, Zupa's, Mimi's Cafe, etc.

https://i.imgur.com/3nlr6Xl.png

Also, there's a new general plan being discussed called "Fashion Place West" that is intended to serve as a guideline for development of the areas of Murray around the junction of I-15 and I-215. Here's a map of the proposed zoning changes:

https://i.imgur.com/fvILBCJ.png

On top of this there are design guidelines and the like, as well as a few "Catalytic Developments" suggested in the appendix, such as this vision for the area immediately west of Fashion Place:

https://i.imgur.com/AHWXlhf.png

And one interesting one was the idea of building a commercial development across Winchester Bridge, kind of a Ponte Vecchio type thing over 215:

https://i.imgur.com/xnvCRTs.png

I think all of those ideas are great, especially for all those parking lots around downtown Murray. There's so much mixed-use potential in the Murray/South Salt Lake Corridor from I-15 to State Street. I am doubtful about that Winchester Bridge concept, just because that would require more bridgework, and the funding for that and the different agencies needing approval for that.

I wish that Costco would move and that corner would all be mixed-use retail & residential. There are some examples of mixed-use developments with big box retail under it in Vancouver.

Where exactly will the Radison be located at?

I love that bridge idea, though like Orlando I have serious doubts about whether it would actually happen. I'll believe it when it does. That said, if it does happen, that would be one of the coolest and most unique developments to happen in this city (county?) and hopefully it would spur similar creative ideas to reimagine the freeway overpasses in this city.

If it's in the same location as the previous "Summit" proposal, and given that the design is almost identical except it's been scaled back, then it's here.

And I take back my previous comment about it pushing for tallest in Utah outside of SLC. This thing will be 180 ft at the most. The IHC Sorenson tower is at least 210 ft. It'll probably be taller than the Mountain America building though.

This is an awesome idea. I commute through here often on my bike, and it is impressive how intimidating it is going from nice neighborhood street to being on a narrow lane over a roaring freeway. In some ways, below-grade freeways can be even more disruptive than above-ground freeways, since at least underpasses can be wide and don't have all the noise you get when you are suspended over traffic.
I think these sorts of things should get built all over that stretch of I-215. The one caveat is that I also want there to be a TRAX line in the median of I-215 between the Winchester Street bridge and the Big Cottonwood Road interchange:
https://i.imgur.com/IkQkIcp.png
(The line will terminate with a planned parking structure/transit hub to be constructed on the gravel pit site, where buses will go up the Cottonwood Canyons.)

So maybe an arrangement can be made, where one of the buildings built over the freeway is a nice entrance building for the TRAX station (elevators/escalators down to freeway level). That would be awesome! :D

I went there a few times. It was fun, but pretty small. My favorite slide was the tube one that started at the magic spicket that didn't have a feed source. lol

I'm all for decking portions the SE part of 215, on some of the cross streets as the north of south side. Maybe decking the north or south side could accommodate Trax running to the mouth of the canyons, it could always cross sides at some point. I think it would depend on which area on which side would be more amenable to some increased density along the line. I think some decking could also be accommodated on some of the bridges, even if it didn't include buildings, but maybe a 10' wide area on each side with some landscaping, bike lanes and sidewalks.

5400s & I-15 I assume.

The steel on this is already finished and I would imagine the skin of the building should be going up now. I drive past this when I head to WinCo.

Also, Millcreek looks to be moving on its city center master plan fairly soon. A document on this page mentions that the new "Millcreek Common" is going to be breaking ground "early 2021." There's really a ton of information on this website, if you're looking to go down that rabbit hole. Here's some highlights:

That's awesome to see. I've been impressed with Millcreek's downtown master plan. I think it's the most interesting and ambitious of all of the suburban downtown plans I've seen. Good to see that they're still moving forward with it!

Fashion Place Mall is one of the most well attended and successful malls in the country. Still, I've always felt it was very underdeveloped, even after all of its most recent upgrades and additions. There's a lot that can still be done with the immediate area surrounding the Mall, even the immediate on-site parking at the north, south and west areas. Parking structures need to be added and a connected sizable hotel given the central location and easy access to the ski resorts and mass transit.

Delts, I was thinking the same thing recently about Fashion Place. Across the country suburban shopping malls are seeing a transformation into a more mixed-use destination where parking lots are being built on with more urban type of housing and hotel with some retail at the ground floor. I think Fashion Place, Valley Fair, and Southtown are all ripe for this. University Mall is already doing this. Provo Center Mall should start to do this.

We're seeing the industrial corridor stretching parallel along I-15 from SLC to Sandy being transformed, and it's fantastic. Add the density and housing in these under-utilized & neglected areas. (I thought that area was actually in Murray or Midvale)

I like Millcreeks proposal. They realize they can create a downtown for themselves, but they also realize they aren't the core city in the region, and trying to be bigger and taller than SLC, or even Ogden or Provo for that matter. They are working within the boundaries they have and, if it happens as proposed, could be a great addition to the valley. I could also see it spurring a possible redevelopment of Brickyard into something much more urban as opposed to its current suburban nature.

I hope it actually pans out as they are proposing, that the NIMBY's don't come in and fight the residential component of it, like the ones that did in Holladay's core on Holladay Blvd

I think the NIMBY element in that park of Millcreek is significantly less prominent than in Holladay, as far as I can tell. Some residential construction is already underway.

I drove down 3300 South today and could see the location of Millcreek Common being dug up, as well as the apartment building location near the old Villa Theater. It's really happening.

If locals are grouching over a single-family development — really nice expensive houses. for that matter.

I mean, can't exactly blame them for packing up and moving the entire project, right? :shrug:

(Narrator: Erda would later regret their opposition when, in 2026 a Kohl's and an Exxon were built on that site.)

There's a crane in Brickyard, here's some info

The Stack at Brickyard

https://www.zwickconstruction.com/post/the-stack

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/6...62f4e~mv2.webp

This project looks nice. It's good to see infill coming to the Brickyard area, and with the Millcreek Downtown plan next door, this area could look radically different and denser in the next 5-10 years.

This is a great opportunity to really push for extending the S-line to Brickyard. And maybe this will encourage the owners of Brickyard to retrofit it to be more pedestrian-oriented.

I like that new Brickyard project, very nice. I am positive that over the next 20-plus years Highland Dr. between Sugar House and the old Cottonwood Mall property will emerge as a denser major upscale vibrant mixed-use corridor. A street filled with attractive apartments, condos, and village-type main street commercial nodes. It reminds me of what stretches of Ventura Blvd. have become here in L.A., particularly through areas like Studio City, Sherman Oaks, and Encino.

Question, does anyone on here know what the plan is with the old K-Mart on 900 E and almost to VanWinkle right across from the Walmart? They have that whole parking lot all fenced off, including the building that used to be a tire shop. It's been within the last couple days that I have seen fencing going up and all the semis that park in the parking lot are now starting to park on the outside of the fenced off area? I would love to see something like a WinCo over there (wishful thinking) because every time they put a WinCo it seems to help the area directly around it in a very positive way. Either way I've been curious and am probably looking in the wrong places but couldn't find anything on that.

I did some digging and found out that this property was rezoned to mixed-use back in 2018 and a developer submitted plans to Murray city for a development called "Van Winkle Crossing." This project was approved by the Murray Planning Commission on December 5, 2019 and consists of 421 multi-family units and 21,000 square feet of retail and commercial space. I can't find any renderings or plans, unfortunately. The agenda packet for that particular meeting isn't linked on the Murray PC page.

Some more info from here.

Along those lines, does anyone know if there are plans for the abandoned strip mall on 5400 South on the west side of Bangerter Hwy? I heard, a few years ago, that someone had big plans for that area but nothing seems to have materialized.

Thanks Atlas, that sounds like some good potential for that area in particular, if it is done well. The retail hopefully will be a boost for the shops that are right over there already to the south. And hopefully it will be designed with good planning for that area of 900 E, it already can get so congested over there during good chunks of the day, but I'm sure that with the right planning that can be overcome and make it a great addition to the area over there, certainly better than the vacant buildings sitting there now. Thanks for digging and finding that info for me.

Alan Matheson, executive director of Point of the Mountain Land Authority shares goals

.

I don't know if this was shared here but the Point of the Mountain authority released its survey results back in October. The big winners, from what I can tell on a glance, are open space and transit. People seem to be opposed to turning it into Lehi 2.0 and many people want a regional park (myself included) instead of a big office complex.

Also, it looks like they've selected SOM to master plan the area. HOK did the previous master plan in 2018.

EDIT: I watched SOM's presentation in this recent video and was actually impressed. I'm very surprised this wasn't covered in the local news. Here are some screenshots from their early visioning (not exhaustive) and I highly recommend watching it yourself:

And you'd win that bet.

No problem. I actually used to live right by there and I'm glad to see that vacant store and parking lot turned into something useful.

Also, I came across a site plan for the development today:

...But, when the Wasatch Ranch Club opens its ski terrain in Utah next December, as Ski Area Management (SAM) magazine is reporting, it plans to attack your wallet with gusto and all bets are off.

The Ranch Club will be larger than luxurious Deer Valley and will have only half the number of member/residents who are part of the Yellowstone Club, the other exclusive enclave in Montana. “This is a resort being built for the 1 percent of the richest 1 percent,” Utah’s KPOA radio opined as it interviewed Ranch President Bob Weaton.

Recognize the name? Weaton was Chief Operating Officer for Deer Valley for about 20 years, leading it to regularly being chosen as the best ski resort in America by magazine and website polls. There are reportedly 10 owner/investors in the ranch from across the globe, one of those being Lessing Stern, son of Deer Valley founder Edgar Stern. The ranch property was originally listed for a sale price of $42 million.

Pay dearly to play

Club membership pricing hasn’t been publicly released yet, but it will most likely top that of the Yellowstone Club which currently demands an upfront fee of $300,000, owning a condo ($4 million-plus) or private home ($5 million-plus), along with an annual “season pass” or dues topping $30,000.

But, if you’ve got the juice, the Wasatch Ranch Club will deliver mind-boggling excitement for skiers (anglers, hikers, golfers, and whatever else attracts you to pristine wilderness) as it builds out over the next 10-15 years.

First there’s the location. The ranch is only 35 minutes from Salt Lake City and, if you still need a ski fix after all that sliding, Snowbasin (where the price tag is significantly more doable) is only 10 minutes away. Ogden Airport is 15 minutes should you have your own private jet. Few Morgan County residents will be able to afford membership, so it will be mostly a community of second homes.

Heated seats and bubbles

The club’s total playground rolls over 12,750 acres and that includes some 3,000 skiable acres with a 3,600 foot vertical. Leitner-Poma of America plans to begin construction this spring on the first two chairlifts — both high speed quads. Members will be pampered with high-speed quads, planned with carriers that feature heated seats and bubbles.

The two new chairlifts together will provide access to 1,650 acres of terrain, with a top elevation of about 9,500 feet. One lift will be 8,000 feet long, so those bubbles will be welcome. Nine lifts are planned by buildout.

.

This apartment building in Draper (I-15 & 12300 So area) was announced so long ago I thought I imagined it, but it’s finally being built.

I’ve been meaning to take a photo for a while.

https://i.ibb.co/6n6SR8J/C557-D96-C-...365-ADFB67.jpg

Is the slaughterhouse still north of this site? I imagine the "Draper Vapor" could be interesting for these future residents...

**UPDATE** I just looked at the county assessor site and "Triview Apartment Associates" owns the whole strip of land to 12300 south. I guess I haven't paid enough attention there.

The developer of the Radisson Blu in Sandy has updated their website. There are some new details and renderings of the rooftop amenities. Looks like Sandy will be getting that killer rooftop dining experience before SLC proper (unless the CCH has a rooftop restaurant, which I'm unsure about). Luckily, SLC does have a few projects with potential highrise restaurant spaces like this on the horizon (West Quarter, Main Street Apartments, maybe Worthington Tower).

https://www.raddondevelopment.com/wp..._FINAL_001.jpg

https://www.raddondevelopment.com/wp..._FINAL_001.jpg

I wouldn't hold my breath on Worthington. Rooftop commercial poses a lot of challenges for multifamily buildings as it can be detrimental to resident experience. The alternative is a dedicated entrance and elevator, but that cost can quickly erode the ROI on that type of space.

This would be possible for a project like Regent Street that has a hotel and condo component, but I still view that as unlikely. While the CCH isn't as tall as other projects, a hotel is a good place for public rooftop space.

Here's another view of the Triview Apartments next to I-15. This complex will have 448 units! Just doing a brief surf of complexes going up in the Salt Lake Valley it seems like we're not even scratching the surface of covering their construction progress. The numbers are amazing. There has got to be a lot of labor coming in from out of state. I can't imagine that the local Wasatch Front contractors could even begin to handle the numbers currently going up. It will be interesting to see the incoming migration and how they transfer from apartments to houses. All of these new residents wanting a home are having to rent apartments until builders are able to fill their single-family residential orders. Daybreak must be getting pretty sizable by now. Has that new pre-planned city out on the far west side (ugh, can't remember the name) worked out its infrastructure challenges with the locals?

https://scontent.fymy1-2.fna.fbcdn.n...d2&oe=60563BCD
Making a mark in Draper is the Tri View Apartments. It will be a home for many with 500,717 Sq. Ft. and 448 units.
Instead of separate buildings it’s one large complex with five levels of residential space over two levels of concrete parking structure.
