Salt Lake:Official development news thread - Part 2

[Orlando]

Alright people, you heard Green Bro. Let's stop pestering him to reveal information. He is our lone source, and I don't think we want to lose him. It can put him in a compromising situation with his job, and ruin the development. If word is leaked out it can sometimes jeopardize any possibility of the project to happen. SO, LET'S KEEP IT COOL(cool smiley inserted).

Thanks dad. Whats worse, freaking out for little reason or electing yourself the czar of etiquette.

You're sort of doing the same thing with that response aren't you? And now I'm doing it with mine.

I'm just going to wait until a real announcement before I speculate more about the company and building. Next topic.

Fair point.

Has anyone thought that Green Bro is pulling our leg and in a couple of weeks or months will tell us that it was a joke. Now that would be a real reason to freak out.

Uhh... no, I'm not. If he had contacted me privately, I would've responded in private. He had a childish comment attacking the entire forum in general.

New 82 room Hampton Inn on Foothill Drive?

could happen if the city approves.

I really like how more of the Salt Lake Hardware building will be visible from this view. Plus it opens up the land a bit more for better development patterns.

Well if he did not want us to "pester" him, then he should not have posted information that he was not able to reveal! What did he think was going to happen on a site like this? People want to know about things!

[Orlando]

Wow Viperlord! Back from the dead! Good to see some news from you! You always were able to find stuff from city hall and other sources that none of us here weren't quite adept at doing.

I like that the new viaduct will expose more of SL Hardware too....I worked in that building for a few years, and loved it. I hope Gastronomy puts another restaurant in there like they were talking about doing...could become a really vibrant location with the viaduct moved.

Which leads me to wonder about the speculated upon Gastronomy development in this area. They own the Salt Lake Hardware building already, and apparently a good bit of the land around it, which they are proposing to build $100 million in office and residential. Salt Lake Hardware is a quite a nice building, and it will be good to bring it back into the rest of the downtown area by cutting back the viaduct. I hope that the designers of this speculative project model it after the gem they already have--they could go for a very 'warehouse' vibe.

Very much agree JMonkey, Gastronomy has always had a keen eye for classy development. I think their proposed project would probably be an attractive and welcome addition for that area of downtown. I'm excited to see renderings of what they have in mind.

It's good to have you back Viperlord. Thanks for the findings!

Speaking of new findings, this was posted in another forum for Orlando. Don't get too excited, though. This is not Green Bro's company. Jet Blue is headquartered in Queens, NY. I indirectly know one of the co-founder's of Jet-Blue. The wife and cousin of one of my good high school (Hillcrest High) friends started the airline. Anyways, apparently Salt Lake was considered, but New York & Orlando are the finalists.http://www.crainsnewyork.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20091002/FREE/910029985/1058

I just want to thank GreenBro for going out on a limb and talking us all that he has told us. He didn't had to say anything about the Tower, but he did tell us what he could share at this time. So thank you. I hope you chose to stay on this forum and tell us more in the future when the time is right. Til then I'll look forward to that day.

[Viperlord]

I'm not sure if I posted this before or not, but I ran across it on Bowen's site as well.

I would imagine that this is for an older project that never materialized, as some of you may remember this site was going to be a mid rise residential and a 18 story, more or less, residential complex. Peter Corroon was involved in the marketing of that. But to make a long story short, the city granted some funding and everything, then the site owner didnt want to sell. So, the funding was already set aside, and they have shifted that portion of funding to the providence place apartments if i recall correctly. I still would like to see something developed on this lot.



old mass modeling.

ran across this as well...

Salt Lake City Center
As an outgrowth of a market and facility evaluation study with Daniel P. Coffey & Associates, the City of Salt Lake recognizes the need for a 2,450-seat Broadway Theatre capable of also presenting occasional symphony, ballet and opera Events. Site Selection and Financing is currently in process. A key to the feasibility of this effort is maximization of stage and production efficiency coupled with minimizing of costs. The 60x100x120 stage has multiple Load in/Load out docks. Costs will be minimized by having only 1 of 4 sides exposed to view. Retail and Office Buildings will wrap the Theatre reducing the cost of the exterior dramatically.



I would imagine that the rendering is nothing more than to present an idea. Because if you notice they say that site plan and financing is currently in process in their description. Check out their website at the link I posted, they have some rather impressive stuff. I'm glad they are a subconsultant to help us get our theater going.

[TonyAnderson]

Thanks for the article Orlando. Speaking of Green Bro and the proposed company (thanks for insight by the way, I think it's all got us a bit more excited about SLC, regardless whether we know specifics), JetBlu occupies 12 stories with 866 employees. So that would give an idea to how big a company would be to have 32-42 stories, without even moving all of the company.

It should also be noted JetBlue already has a corporate office in the Salt Lake area and employs over 2000 people here.
