Downtown Update - 111 Tower - Utah Performing Arts Center and Regent Street
Under Construction
Utah Performing Arts Center and 111 Tower
...Lead architects, Cesar Pelli and Mitch Hirsch explained in detail the design, which will include a three-balcony, opera house configuration for the seating area and a large,
four-story “Winter Garden” lobby with glass exterior facing Main St. They also touted the fact that the theater building will have no “back”. With pedestrian passages from Main St. to Regent St,
a public plaza in front of the truck loading docks, and a rejuvenated Regent St full of nightlife and daytime action, the NPAC will be a driving force in activating downtown, on the blocks to
the immediate south of the spectacular new City Creek Center...

The project would include retail and dining establishments, a public plaza, along with custom landscape architecture throughout the common areas. While the street would still be
accessed by motor vehicle traffic, the area would also be accessible to pedestrians and could be converted to pedestrian-only access for events such as concerts, Becker explained.
“Since I took office, a primary object is to make downtown a gathering place for the region — and have it be a true welcoming environment for people seeking all kinds of activities that you
can really only find in the downtown area,” he said. “We see this as part of what we are doing to make this the 'cultural core' of the region.”...

...The redevelopment project is aimed at attracting more people into downtown and generating a distinctive experience that can’t happen anywhere else, said STRUCK agency's Brent Watts,
who is part of the creative design team for the Regent Street project.
“We want to create a 'branded' experience,” he said, adding that besides gathering and dining, the corridor will include local artists and local shops.
“We want sizeable, small-scale retail shops on the street,” Watts said. “That’s important.”...
