The University of Utah announced Tuesday the selection of an out-of-state developer to complete its new Universe Project.
Inland American Communities Group Inc., which has offices in Tempe, Ariz., Dallas and Atlanta, was selected to construct the mixed-use, transit-oriented project on the southwest corner of campus — an area Inland calls an "edge of prime location."
The Universe Project will occupy the 7.9-acre parking lot directly west of Rice-Eccles Stadium, which is adjacent to a TRAX light-rail station. Proposed uses of the site include administrative offices for the university, housing, public and student parking as well as some retail stores.
Perez said goals of the project include taking advantage of the present mass transit options, creating a strong connection between the campus and neighboring community, enhancing the appearance and function of the location without detracting from the current functions of the area. It also is designed to encourage interest in the campus, making the Universe Project a "portal" to the university community and a "gateway to Salt Lake City."

That's going to be a great project Steve. I'm looking forward to seeing that one materialize.
