Gateway is currently undergoing a major redevelopment costing in the hundreds of millions. This ongoing makeover will advance Gateway in a direction that is much more on trend in serving Downtown Salt Lake City's rapidly expanding core.

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A downtown Salt Lake City shopping center will celebrate 20 years next month. The Gateway was built just before the 2002 Olympics...
In 2016, its new owners, Phoenix-based Vestar, unveiled a $100 million plan to revitalize the mall, ...that plan remains unfinished, including a boutique hotel inside the historic Union Pacific building and an ice rink on the Olympic fountain.
Jacklyn Briggs, The Gateway marketing director, said the investment in the mall has been made, although she acknowledged some aspects of it have not come to fruition yet.
“When you think about it in the terms of, okay, you know, there’s going to be one grand opening date, that’s not the terms we think of,” said Briggs. “This is a building process that we’re doing alongside the community.”
Briggs said the hotel, which will be called Asher Adams, is still on track. Construction is set to begin next spring, she said, likely finishing in 2024.
New renderings released to 2News Friday showed what the inside and outside of the hotel will look like.
The planned outdoor ice rink is also still coming to The Gateway, Briggs said, but not until the hotel is finished.
Other things are also happening, she said, such as new restaurants, art, and other improvements on the site.
“It’s an ongoing process that we’re doing, and we’re pivoting with the community about what they need and what’s beneficial to them,” said Briggs, “so it’s sort of an ongoing organic process in that way.”...
...It's a growing, beautiful space,” Briggs said.

Salt Lake City - https://www.utahbusiness.com/asher-a...breaks-ground/
Real estate development firms Hatteras Sky and The Athens Group broke ground on Asher Adams, an adaptive re-use of Salt Lake City’s historic Union Pacific Train Depot and new construction of a 225-key Autograph Collection Hotel, Marriott International’s diverse and dynamic portfolio of independent hotels. Asher Adams will feature 13 historic guest suites in the original Train Depot and a new eight-story guestroom structure with an additional 212 modern guest suites. The hotel will also include multiple food and beverage outlets, a 1,500 SF fitness facility, 9,000 square feet of meeting and function space, and approximately 3,200 square feet of open-air gathering spaces. The Depot, an existing 17,000-square-foot live entertainment venue located within the Union Pacific Depot building, will be retained in its current location, and continue operations during construction. Barings is the senior construction lender, and financing is also being provided by the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City with equity from individual investors on CrowdStreet, the online real estate investing marketplace.
Originally constructed in 1909, the historic Union Pacific railroad station is regarded as one of the most outstanding architectural structures in Utah. The iconic station features irreplaceable French Second Empire architecture, original stained-glass windows, and original oil on canvas murals: “Driving the Golden Spike” commemorating the completion of the Transcontinental Railroad at Promontory Summit and “This is the Place” portraying Brigham Young making his famous exclamation upon first seeing the Great Salt Lake Valley.
Located in The Gateway, a one-million-square-foot mixed-use commercial business, retail, residential, dining, and entertainment destination, Asher Adams sits directly across the street from Vivint Smart Home Arena, the TRAX Blue and Green light rail stops and is within walking distance of the Salt Palace Convention Center and the Frontrunner commuter rail line. Hotel guests will have immediate access to all dining, entertainment and business venues located adjacent to the hotel and easy access to all that downtown Salt Lake City has to offer.
“We are honored by the opportunity to both preserve and showcase the historic Union Pacific Depot while at the same time providing Salt Lake City with a state-of-the-art hospitality experience which will serve as an enhanced community gathering space for residents and visitors alike,” says Oz Friedmann, Principal and managing Director of Development for Hatteras Sky.
“After many years of planning, and with our sincere appreciation to Barings, CrowdStreet, and the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City, we are excited to take the next steps toward delivering the best hospitality experience in Salt Lake City,” says Rob McIver, Principal of The Athens Group. “The design and juxtaposition of the historic building with the new guestroom tower has been carefully crafted by our design partners at HKS Architects and JNS Design. With Okland as our general contractor and Pivot as our hotel operator, we look forward to bringing this project to life.”
“We are pleased that construction of the new Asher Adams hotel at The Gateway is now underway,” adds Jenny Cushing, VP of Leasing for Vestar, the development company that owns The Gateway. “This boutique hotel will be as iconic as the historic building it’s housed in and will serve as the crown jewel for the redevelopment of The Gateway. It will be designed to cater to leisure and business travelers seeking a unique and memorable property with fabulous amenities. Asher Adams promises to further transform The Gateway into a vibrant and sought-out destination within Salt Lake City and will drive additional business to our merchants.
