I saw it on a plat that was floating around my office at some point recently. It is going to be a medical office or clinic or hospital of some variety. I don't remember the details. Definitely not residential or retail....

is the megaplex in west valley 2 floors? it really seems that way.

[SLC Projects]

Yes it will be two floors. Alot like the on in South Jordan.

I really hope the Valley Fair theater won't hurt business too bad at the Century 16 in South Salt Lake. That theater is really the only area of vibrancy around here. And it's up the street from my house so it means I don't have to drive or even take public transit to see a movie.

Its pretty crazy how much business century 16 gets. I think it will be affected by the megaplex but not as bad as the Hollywood connection theater.

[bob rulz]

Yeah I'm thinking it shouldn't be hurt too bad since they'll still get a majority of people from the east side. They'll probably mostly lose the West Valley patrons that skipped over Hollywood Connections (which is pretty run-down) to get there. Hopefully that's not too much.

I imagine that it will be tough for Hollywood Connections to survive though.

After a year or 2 Hollywood Connections was already getting rundown. I remember going there back in high school with friends and floors were sticky and trash all over the place. Just wasn't maintained very well from the start. I really wouldn't care if Hollywood Connections shut down and maybe something much better gets put in its location.

[Stenar]

Century 16 could stand to lose some customers, that place is hella crazy.

[bob rulz]

Maybe if the parking were better it wouldn't be so bad, lol. They seriously should've invested in a parking garage when they built it...

[StevenF]

How about this as an idea for when Hollywood Connections closes in 6 months. We either demolish it or add onto it and make it the new Convention Center and put a 1000 room hotel straddled over the top of it.

That would be an awful location for a convention center.

[Future Mayor]

Yes please tell me you were joking.

[jedikermit]

I have to assume that was a joke.

Very subtle. I got it though. Haha.

[StevenF]

It was very much a joke. More like a random thought that I thought would be funny to post since we all have been looking forward to a convention center hotel. I also know how you all enjoy things being outsourced to the burbs.

West Valley City • With the help of some redevelopment money, construction is expected to begin soon on a shopping center estimated to generate $3.1 million a year in new retail sales and add about 100 jobs to this west-side community.

The West Valley City Council, sitting as the Redevelopment Agency board, voted Tuesday to allocate $65,000 for Ut Nguyen to put toward construction costs and property improvements for his future International Market Center, 1920 W. 3500 South.

Nguyen plans to connect the new shopping center to his existing Little Saigon Plaza to the east. The International Market will add 10 tenant spaces totaling 18,000 square feet for retail establishments, restaurants or offices...

For a area that is being used as a mix-use urban area, having a ONE story building seems like a waste to what little land is there already. There should be a zoning rule that no development in the fireclay area will be any less then 3-stories.
