This is also good news.

Construction crews have started the demolition of the LDS ward house on the property to make way for the Hope Lodge.

As I went back to the page 1 to view the design of Seasons at Library Square I noticed that the design seems to be nearly identical to the Denver St Apartments. Seasons is two apartments wider and one apartment shorter with a taller corner crown, they have a slightly different color pallets, but the design is nearly the same.

Denver St

Seasons

^^^
I like both of them a lot. I think their style will continue to look good for many decades to come, as long as they're maintained well.

That is great news. I hope they'll be able to follow quickly with the construction of the Lodge itself. I thought that was a very attractive project.

"Different names for the same thing". I actually like Seasons better.

The developer of the seasons is actually constructing two buildings.. One is at Denver Street... I swear they told me the other one was around fifth south and third west.. Maybe they said third E. though

There are a lot of people of Scandinavian descent in Utah. I know quite a few who go there every year. I go often. I also have a large number of Norwegian and Swedish friends who come to SLC often.

I am a quarter Swedish and a quarter Norwegian myself. I LOVE Norwegian Air, also, so this is an exciting prospect.

Usually buildings look worse than the rendering, but this one looks much better than I expected based on the rendering.

It's been pretty slow and boring on this thread lately.

There have been over 26 posts in less than two days. Sounds really slow.....

Hopefully once the legislature passes the CCH (fingers crossed), news will be coming faster. Although really, the last 3 months have had a lot of exciting developments. Better here than in other cities our size.

I assume.

I really don't know.

I just walked by the Seasons at Library Square site and the buildings have all been taken down.

Wow! That was fast.

They have started to rip down the south most building at the PAC

I feel like a dummy. What do CCH and PAC stand for?

Does anyone know what they were able to salvage from the interior of the old bank building? Some of the buildings coming down for this project are a bittersweet loss.

I called Layton Construction asking if I would be able to take anything. They said the would get back to me. So far, nothing.

I really wish we'd see at least a decent 10-plus story residential building. While these five-story buildings are nice, and add density, I just don't get why we have such an aversion nowadays to taller residential buildings - especially since, throughout the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s, a smattering were built throughout the eastern & downtown areas.
