Architectural Design
The majority of historical referenced and eclectic architectural buildings of The Junction are oriented along central boulevards with key intersections containing a high level of activity and detail. The commercial, office and retail centers of the development will designed to create a walk-able retail experience, varied storefronts and elevations reference new urbanism with a main street appeal, at the pedestrian scale. Exterior finishes for the buildings in the Commercial/Business District, for example, are to be finished with the following materials, colors as selected from the enclosed color palette:
Brick
Trenwyth Prairie Stone (used predominantly at the Base)
EIFS - (used predominantly on the Upper Stories)
Standing Seam Metal at Roof overbuilds and Canopies
Fiberglass/Metal panel
Glass/Alum. Storefront
Metal frame shading devices (shop-applied paint finish)
The Junction at Midvale also seeks to achieve excellence in the design and implementation of site landscaping. The guidelines describe minimal acceptable standards for site development. Guidelines have been prepared for the three private districts and public rights-of-way within The Junction at Midvale. It is required that landscape plans include the use of plant species that are drought tolerant. Xeriscape principles are to be used in plant selection to create a sustainable landscape that promotes water conservation |
The reclamation area you are talking about is where they are building right now. Rough address is 850 west 7800 so. The residential buildings are 3 stories tall and they are being built on the reclamation site. In total there will be 50 residential buildings with anywhere from 20-30 (all 3 stories) units per building. They are very high end condos. Lots of stone and hardie board siding.
Right now because of the market they are planning on renting them out, but Delloy said the decision can be made overnight to market them as condos. As I said the whole area is Called The Junction ( or Bingham Junction) and the website referenced by leerjet is one component. I have not seen plans for the retail and office, but I have seen the project plat map that shows them.
