Provo MSA Development Thread

[Highrise_Mike]

I do work for Lehi as a planner, and as far as I know there isn't anything taller than UCCU coming down the pipe soon but I've heard conversations about possibly going up to 10 floors. TP and TM have height restrictions but the city doesn't so things could go up! I am always encouraging taller buildings but to go beyond the 5 or 6 story height the cost of fire protection keeps most developers from doing it. Once property values increase enough then it could outweigh that cost.

I would hate to think all this office development in Lehi takes away from downtown SLC but I'm surprised to see some of the projects we're getting up there too! The map that shows future areas in Lehi covers most of what is around Thanksgiving Point and TM but there is property along 2100 N west of the Jordan River with commercial zoning that I have seen some concepts with more office and retail space. It may take some time before we see anything out there but the City and Camp Williams are working on a sewer line out there that could get some things moving. Honestly I'd rather see things build out in TP and TM before things develop out west. I could talk all day on this stuff but I will post on here as we get some good submittals!
