I just flew down there and checked it out, via Google Earth Pretty cool stuff in the area. Thanks for info.

Not regularly, no.

American Stores used them when it was their headquarters. 2News also used the helipad for their helicopter, when they still had one.

I don't think they are even used any more

Approved. Exciting times for downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, United States of America.

KUTV used to use it when they had their 'Sky 2' Helicopter, which I don't believe they have anymore (due to costs I'm sure).

When we need a helicopter IMMEDIATELY, we can have it land on the helipads at Wells Fargo still, but it's cheaper to go to the heliport in Woods Cross.

The Utah National Guard used the helipad for urban combat training "Desert Ice"

My guess, and I know I'm going out on a limb here... That wasn't his first post.

Small Update: After 5 years of dirt, I'm noticing more and more early site work on the Edison Street lot (former Moda Luxe). I'm imagining construction will start properly in the coming weeks

Info on project

I hope the street engagement for this property is great to make up for a squatty little 5 over 1 in such a great tower lot. If it is, it will still be a net positive for the city.

Thanks for the update"ThePriceWentUp"

That reedition of the Edison St looks like it belongs in Sugarhouse, Granary or South Salt Lake.... not in the middle of the CBD
