It sure has. Why is that? Is there just not enough development going on? or are local forumers just too busy to do photo updates?

I haven't been able to grab much on my phone lately. I am hoping to have some time coming up that will allow me to get some images of the Capital Theater expansion and work being done around 4th South and West Temple.

I absolutely agree. There really shouldn't be a campus right there.

Sorry guys/gals but this isn't on topic in anyway. Orlando, check your PMs.

Gives some idea of exterior treatment and massing of nearly complete Cityscape apartments at about 150 S 400 East.

Nice pics! Thanks for the photo updates guys!

Thanks for the photos.

My first choice would have been to replace that building to match the two newer ones but the window/entrance modernizing look pretty darn good.

Agree, excellent compromise. Thanks for the great updates John.

I love seeing the Shilo Inn, gleaming like a beacon from the past. It warms my heart.

Did you mean 600 N?

I'll be honest. I was VERY Critical of the design of these, and while I wish they were taller, like those to the east, they have ended up looking pretty good.

I just got my internet hooked up. So now I can finally share these two pics with you all. I registered in the diagrams portion of this site. If there's anything you'd like to see in SLC's line up, let me know.

I just happened to use the same pic from Orlando.

SLC Projects · #**4935** Posted **Aug 28, 2013, 10:32 PM**

Nice.

The more I see 111 South Main Photoshopped in the skyline, the more I just want HP to break ground already.

Future Mayor · #**4936** Posted **Aug 28, 2013, 11:24 PM**

I too love the look of 111 in the skyline. I really like that view from the SE.

I was out for a drive to check out Liberty Gateway in person and I noticed that Biaggis on the SE corner of Gateway, the NW corner of 400 W and 200 S has closed. This would be a prime location for Gateway to finally make a move as part destination (Planetarium, Children's Museum and Movie theater) and part neighborhood retail. The former Biaggis location would be ideal for either a small grocery store, (have Smith, or Fresh Market open up a smaller concept there) or a Drug Store (the closest Walgreens is 4th S and 5th E and the closest Rite Aide is Main and 1st S.)

While I don't have the numbers, I would suspect that the population would be just about right, and only getting bigger, to support one of those two concepts. With all the Gateway Apartments and Condos, along with Liberty Gateway opening soon, combined with the existing and soon to completed condos at Pioneer Park there seems to be a decent amount of residential in the area, not to mention those in town staying at the Homewood Suites at Pioneer Park and the soon to be completed ESA hotel, it seems to be a no brainer to me. Then again that's just my opinion. The large amount of office space at Gateway would also do wonders at supporting a drug store. While the total office space pales in comparison to that on Main near Rite Aide, there is still a fair amount that would stop in on lunch and breaks.

agreed, the Biaggis spot would be ideal for some sort of grocery. I wonder if there's some way to get that across to the Gateway management...

Also, I'm loving the pics above.

I just sent an email to someone in the leasing department.
