Simple Forum Guidelines

#1 All posts that are not related to Salt Lake City Proper, but fall into the Official Salt Lake City Metro, i.e Salt Lake, Summit and Tooele Counties, will be posted on the Salt Lake City MSA Thread.

#2 Regarding the creation of individual threads for particular projects, such as 222 South Main,106th South, or Gehry. Until the Projects have broken ground, they should remain in their respective threads. Then, after they have broken ground, we should be respectful enough to get a majority consensus before creating a new thread for that specific project.

Designed by Whitewater West and founded by the Huish brothers, the park will move away from the traditional idea of an all-day park experience in lieu of a compact park meant for 3-4 hours of fun. Because the park's founders are designing this park to be an in-and-out experience, the price point falls close in line at $10-15 for entry.
The structure will stand 70 feet tall and provide the slides, giant water buckets, and lazy rivers expected of the water park experience. See the images below for an idea of how this park is going to shape up.

Proposed Sandy development
A little Broadway, much more gourmet
Theater cheerleaders say the pondered playhouse would attract fine dining


Deseret Morning News

By Derek P. Jensen
lThe Salt Lake Tribune
4/10/2008

Dining districts thrive in downtown Salt Lake City, which may explain why planners are plotting a new "restaurant row" for City Creek Center.
But duplicating that dynamic in Utah's suburbs most often means a meandering trek to a chain restaurant or a strip mall.
Tourists exiting TRAX in the capital can walk to a half-dozen sushi joints. And live-theater fans can cross a single downtown street for the Metropolitan or Bambara - not Applebee's.
Sandy cheerleaders hope to replicate that experience if the suburb lands a $50 million Broadway-class theater near City Hall. The pondered 2,800-seat playhouse, they say, would lure upscale eateries to boost the Broadway experience.
"It's certainly an enticement," says Sandy spokeswoman Trina Duerksen. "Mayor [Tom] Dolan has always said there's hardly anywhere to eat - it's hamburgers or the grocery store. There's always room for more of the upscale restaurants."
But is it realistic?
Salt Lake County Councilman Randy Horiuchi, himself a boisterous theater advocate, says it is. He notes the south valley is primed for gourmet options, especially since the bulk of the valley's population resides south of 4500 South.
"If this facility comes, will that gap be bridged?" he asks. "I think it can."
Horiuchi says Sandy, a suburb of 95,000 people and Utah's fifth most populous city, easily could support a steakhouse like Ruth's Chris or Morton's.
Indeed, Duerksen says, Sandy aggressively courted The Cheesecake Factory before the popular eatery opted to go to Murray instead. And each year, Sandy sends a delegation to Las Vegas to court restaurants and retailers at the International Council of Shopping Centers convention.
But those efforts are likely to lure chains, not the private bistros popular with the wine-and-cheese crowd.
And that begs a question about corporate saturation. Already, that congested stretch of Sandy has McGrath's, Olive Garden, Mimi's Cafe, Chili's, T.G.I. Friday's, Carvers, Texas Roadhouse and more.
The proposed theater, which would be just southwest of City Hall, is but one element in a planned $500 million makeover that includes office, residential and retail buildings. And business leaders bet more people will mean more appetite.
"People can reach this location [just east of Interstate 15 near 10000 South] easily from any part of the Salt Lake Valley, thanks to a great freeway and the UTA transit system," says Nancy Workman, president and CEO of the Sandy Area Chamber of Commerce. "Even Utah County people are excited. They say they come here to work so they would love to just stay, dine and go to a Broadway play. We have lots of incredible restaurants with more on the way."
To be sure, the definition of "incredible" depends on the mouth of the beholder. But with theater as an anchor, more white tablecloths soon could shroud the suburb - even if the best menu item is a corporate steak.

by the way, demolition has begun at the Market Station site. They've cleared several small buildings in the interior of the block.

One of the things that I appreciate about the design of these towers is that they represent a step outside of the typical box that we have seen so much of in the past in the region. I hope that the phase-in of all three towers will not be too far apart from each other. One tower alone will look pretty lonely in that location.

Hey Projects, I guess since the Real Stadium is a reality now, and you included it up in your first post above, what do you say we start putting our favorite pics and updates here now? If you want to smack me upside the head for doing this, that's cool. LOL. Anyway, I'm really liking the idea of this thread and want to put some of your great pics from the past here. Also, there were a lot of great renderings for this stadium. When is your next photo trip over to the stadium going to be? Hey, like you and many of us, I'm very excited about this stadium and the positive effect I think it will ultimately generate for the entire metro. Here's just a brief chronology from the Comp. scrapbook. I'm looking forward to updates and the many future projects that this stadium will generate! Oh, and that beautiful new Temple is close by you isn't it? How is that progressing?

Building girl and I went to the site on Wednesday to check it out. I got some video of crews working on the site. While filming I fell on my ass down a hill and almost slid in a creek. ( I'm sure you guys will get a good laugh out of that. ) It's all on video.

These kind of situations are always interesting. Someone is going to come in and pick this golden plumb for pennies on the dollar. Then when the market turns around the cities and state will be forced to deal with the geological issues. The new developers are going to make a killing.

When prospective new residents from out of state first view these plots, they are dumbstruck by the sheer beauty of the views to be had right in the middle of a two million plus metro.

I say the writing is on the wall. Start making plans now to move the prison. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that within a few short years that location is going to be one of the most attractive development sites along the Metro.

Hey guys I added a few new projects to the list. If here's any project I'm over looking feel free to let me know and i'll try to add it.
Thanks

[wrendog]

what about Market Station?

[T-Mac]

I forget, are we including Davis County in this thread? If so, there is Farmington Station and Eaglewood Village.

[urbanboy]

No, this thread is only for Salt Lake, Tooele, and Summit Counties.
Ogden may want to follow suit by having two threads. one for the city proper, and another for Davis and other counties that include Brigham City, Logan, and the town to the east (I forgot the name) I believe that would include both Davis and Cashe Counties. Same with Provo: one for the city proper, and a Utah County and Wasatch Counties thread.

[T-Mac]

Thanks Urbanboy, I was going to take some photos of these project sites this weekend and wanted to make sure I post them in the right spot.

There isn't enough going on in Davis/Weber Counties to warrant a second thread. For what its worth, I don't think that Utah County and Provo need separate threads either.

Ark, I have to agree with you. Here in Davis County, we really only have the Station Park in Farmington and the Eaglewood Village that is noteworthy. After my post the other day asking about posting it here I checked out the Ogden thread and don't really feel that I am going to post these in that thread. For hell's sake, Eaglewood Village is 7 minutes from downtown Salt Lake City. A ton closer than the Draper Temple, Daybreak Temple, Cottonwood Mall project, Murray projects, etc. But I do understand that you guys want to keep the thread more organized with only developments from certain areas, so I will just keep these photos to myself, I guess. I don't understand how Tooele and Park City can be grouped with Salt Lake City, and North Salt Lake, Bountiful, Woods Cross, etc, which are by far closer to the city, are left out. Oh well, just my thoughts. Don't worry, I won't clog the thread with photos from Davis County.

[T-Mac]

Eaglewood Village

There has already been a lot of site work done. They are having to build up the land because of the high water table.


These pictures are of the top portion of the project which will be all residential townhomes, condos, etc.






This will be the neighbor looking down on the project. I believe that it is an over 55 community building.


They are having to drain the moisture from the hillside. Notice the 2 large hoses on the hillside. I also understand that they are going to be doing some work to the hillside to support it. A lot of site issues to deal with here.

I would have to disagree with you on putting Logan(cache Valley) into a Ogden MSA thread as Logan is a MSA of its own with Cache, UT and Franklin, ID counties. Living in Cache Valley myself, I feel no connection to Ogden or even Brigham City in any way. Let Cache Valley have its own thread as it does now.

Now if I could just get some of you to post in it when I post articles. There is a cool article from the local news paper here that was about an old trolley system Cache Valley had back in the early 1900's that ran from Ogden to Preston, ID. Just to think that such a small town as Logan back in the 1930's had quite the extensive trolley network. If you want to read it dig up the thread from the bottom of the page or on page 2

Hey bud, there's a nice rendering of the 'Daybreak Temple on page 27 and the rendering of the Draper is on 27 and 100 of the SLC Thread.

Here's a couple of pics posted by Jedi on Aug. 1st, 2007. We can compare these to gbb's that he'll be posting today. That will be cool to see the comparison.
