Utah Valley Projects report.........
Ok this past saturday Building gurl and i met up with Wasatch_one to check out some of the on going projects that are going on or about to happen real soon. here is our report....
1. Orem Midtown Village PRoject. (8-stoires)
As you can see the south wing is coming alone now that it's all topped out and is now starting to get walls put up. Work on the north wing hasn't started yet. it's still just hole in the ground that more work on the underground parking still needs to be done.
2 UVSC Library (five-stories)
We didn't get to drive by this project, but for what we are told the site is cleared out and ground breaking will start soon. But here is a pic of what it will look like.
3.Huntington (4-stories)
Right in the heart of downtown provo this 4-story condo project is about to break ground. the site has been cleared out and work should start soon.
4.Northgate Village. (up to 8-stories)
For what we know about this project is that it's going to be a mix use right off of I-15 and 800 North in Orem. The site use to be warehouses but the site has been cleared off and work should begine soon. Sorry i didn't get any pics of this project. But there will be condos, office space and retail. Kind of like midtown village. One of the buildings could be as tall as 8-stories. Also there is alot of road work on 800 north. looks like the road is adding two new lines making 800 north 6 lines total.
5.P.G.'s Hotel and Convention center (12-story hotel)
PLEASANT GROVE will be getting a 12-story hotel and a convention center. Ground breaking could start next spring. Right new the site is just a field.
Now the rest are projects that are in the planning stages still and we hope to hear more about soon. Since wasatch (Nic) is from the prove/Orem he gave us a tour of the downtown provo area and around orem. He told us some of the following projects that are in the works....
Downtown provo
1. Zion bank building.
Just like the wells fargo buildng Zion wants to built their own builidng right in the heart of downtown. We don't know of any plans as of yet, but their could be around 8-10 stories tall.
2.Well Fargo Phase II
The wells fargo center in downtown provo is almost two years old new and all it's space has been lease out. Word is their are getting ready for a phase II of the center to be built just behind their first building that could be around 8-stoires also. (Both zions and well fargo will be across the street from one another)
3.Provo Convention Center
Downtown provo could be getting their own convention center here soon, since P.G. will be building one with a 12-story hotel tower. this was a wake up call for provo and now the city is moving with their own plans. not sure when this project will start.
So there is our report of some of the major projects that are happening or soon to start here in happy valley.
