Clearwater Homes of Utah and Watt Investment Partners of Santa Monica, CA, will start construction on a 138-unit market-rate apartment project at 360 West 200 South in the heart of Salt Lake City’s warehouse district.

The project aspires to be “iconic, remarkable, and aesthetically enduring” – “a source of pride for the local community” according to the local developer, Clearwater’s Micah Peters.

Peters has developed Paragon Station on the same block, and also is under construction with the Paperbox project with PEG Development just behind the Zephyr Lofts site...

...The name “pays homage to the depot district and the historic Zephyr engine/line that steamed into Salt Lake City on the Union Pacific rails,” Developer Micah Peters told Building Salt Lake.

Infilling surface parking lots between the historic Westgate Lofts on the east and the Dakota Lofts on the West, The Zephyr will rise eight stories to 85 ft. Sitting on D-4 zoning, the developers have entered the design review process in order
to exceed the zone’s nominal 75 ft height maximum.

The Zephyr’s 138 units will be a combination of 70 studio, 55 one-bedroom, and 13 two-bedroom apartments.

It’ll be parked at a 1:1 ratio (140 stalls), with the upper floor of the podium parking incorporating 3 car city parking stackers.

Street frontage will consist of gyms, a leasing office, and a small bar/restaurant space. Clearwater’s Peters says he’s in conversations with a local artisan operator that has several food + beverage businesses in the neighborhood. The retail
space offers 1800 sf and a 20-seat outdoor patio.

It will provide a public walkway from 200 South to the midblock right-of-way that skirts the Paperbox development.

The Zephyr Project's excavation can be seen in the photo below to the right. Salt Lake City and its greater MSA/CSA construction
are firing on all cylinders as its vacancy rate dips to under 2%. This, yet still historic construction levels cannot begin to keep up with ever-increasing demand.
