City Creek moves ahead despite economic downturn

SALT LAKE CITY — When City Creek Center opens for business next March, it will include 760,000 square feet of retail space housing stores like Tiffany and Coach, a 30,000 square foot retractable glass roof for open-air shopping and a water fountain from the same people who created the ones at Las Vegas' Bellagio hotel.

Those figures may make the project sound impressive, but one little fact stands out. Next year City Creek is scheduled to be the only major shopping mall that opens in the U.S., according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. After a recession, with high unemployment and falling housing prices, there's one reason City Creek even happened — it helps to pay cash.

Aaron Crim For The Deseret News

WEST VALLEY CITY — Economic development efforts at the center of Utah’s second-biggest city are moving forward full-force. The recent announcement of the City Center project, Fairbourne Station, and the continued development of the Valley Fair Mall may be proving successful as businesses and retailers become involved with one of the largest redevelopment projects in the state...

This is a bird's-eye view of the new Light Rail, Fairbourne Station. Ground has been cleared for a four-acre park on the left and a Hilton Embassy Suites Hotel on the right. Construction has begun on the park and will begin on the hotel in the coming weeks. (Kevin Conde, West Valley City Public Relations)

...Economic development efforts in the heart of West Valley City are not limited to Valley Fair Mall. Fairbourne Station, a major redevelopment effort encompassing the area between 3500 South and 3650 South and 2700 West and 3200 West, will begin taking shape in the coming weeks as construction begins on a four-acre park and a Hilton Embassy Suites Hotel...

Reported By Chris Vanocur

SALT LAKE CITY (ABC 4 News) - ABC 4 News has learned that the popular fashion store H & M is headed for Salt Lake's new City Creek Center.

According to Salt Lake City records, H & M has applied for and appears to have been granted a building permit under
the name H & M @ City Creek.

Also, the address listed is the same as the City Creek Center.

Now, H & M is also scheduled to open a store at the Fashion Place Mall later this year.

The 1.5 billion dollar City Creek Center, or the "Triple C" as it is sometimes called, will open in March of 2012.

When ABC 4 interviewed downtown shoppers a few weeks ago, we asked them what stores they wanted to see at the
City Creek Center.

A majority of them told us - with great enthusiasm - H & M!

I LOVE how the designers have chosen to KEEP and CONTINUE to use the black street lights with the glass shades (if that's what they are called) I think it is a perfect mix of new and old.

delts145 · #**2649** Posted **Oct 2, 2011, 11:32 AM**

Agreed, they add a nice touch of cohesive charm throughout downtown.

Mormon temple to rise from ashes of Provo Tabernacle

The Salt Lake Tribune

By Donald W. Meyers

Provo • Not only will the LDS Church save the fire-gutted Provo Tabernacle, but it will exalt it as well.

Church President Thomas S. Monson announced Saturday that the Salt Lake City-based faith will fully restore the exterior of the 128-year-old building and convert it into Utah’s 16th Mormon temple — raising it from the ashes as the legendary Phoenix did.

Monson said the tabernacle-turned-temple will relieve strain on Provo’s existing hillside LDS temple, which he described as one of the busiest in the worldwide church. When the Provo project is completed, that city will join South Jordan as the only cities in the world to sport two LDS temples...

As an urban blogger writing about LA, sometimes I find out about stuff going on in other cities as well and I also know (from a source that works with the mall) that Tiffany & Co and I believe Grand Luxe Cafe are going into City Creek Center.

City excited Provo Tabernacle will become a temple; speed up downtown development

By Steve Fidel
The Deseret News

PROVO — News that the burned-out shell of the LDS Church's Provo Tabernacle will be rebuilt as a temple fits ideally with years of ongoing downtown redevelopment and has the wheels turning even faster at City Hall.

"This complements decades of work and preserves the building, which is the most important thing to Provo residents," Mayor John Curtis said Monday.

The work the temple complements is the revitalization of the downtown area, where highrise offices, newer city facilities and a not-yet-finished convention center are still the backdrop to Center Street facades that are tired looking and in disrepair.

The city is offering facade renovation grants to downtown businesses, waiving building fees and working to condemn and demolish one shuttered Center Street storefront...

3. Kirton & McKonkie law firm will move its offices out of the Eagle Gate Tower, and into CCC building 4, next door on South Temple.

4. I spoke with a family member this past week who is involved with CCRI and PRI. He is working on some TI in the Eagle Gate Tower. The tentative plan is for Ustar, GOED, and WTC utah to move into Eagle Gate. The tower entry plaza will be modified. A large globe statue of the World will be placed in the plaza, and the Eagle Gate tower will be renamed WTC Utah.
