I for one think that's a great idea. If you would like to do us the honor.

That's the general population thread. We need our own regional thread. That's how it usually goes.

[SLCPA]

Oh OK, I see what you mean now.

I know SLC gets accused of making too many threads by the loud minority but they will get over it lol! Considering this project includes large scale demolition, a new Performing Arts center, and a new office tower I think it's certainly worthy of it's own thread.

I do not think we need a separate individual threads for the PAC and 111. If we give them their own threads then we'll have to give the potential CCH a thread and 145 a thread. It'll be too much for the mountain west. 2/3 of the Mountain West threads are from Utah anyways. Let's just do what Denver does and just have one thread. That way everyone from Utah and out of state from Utah can see what is going on in SLC. I am sure people in other states have no idea what 111, 145, CCH, PAC, all stand for. Having one thread will allow us to show off our city even more. It'll keep everything simplified and under one roof.

Agreed.
And it's not like this is San Fran or NYC; with tons of stuff going on at once.
By the way, thanks to all the photo sharin guys.
And the juice givers (developmental).

Agreed.
And BTW, we have Denver folk who think that we start a thread for every project. Which isn't true; let's not keep that thought going.

Right? It's every OTHER project. Duh.

Actually there are 71 threads over 2 pages on the Mtn West forum. 23 are Utah specific and 21 are Colorado specific. I understand what you are saying but I honestly wish Denver would make separate threads for their bigger developments. The problem with having everything under one thread is you have to wade through pages and pages of blah blah to figure out what is going on. I don't religiously read Denver's development thread so the few times I actually do I end up not really having a clue what projects they are working on. If all major developments had their own thread it would be much easier to follow along IMO.

One thread for all... it's the easiest and best way to show off SLC.

I would have to agree with this. Who cares if we here in Salt Lake like to open up new threads for our large projects. I say lets do a combined thread for 111 and UPAC and call it good for those.

It seems that the oldtimers are cool with a new thread and the newcomers are not. Count me in as someone who likes dedicated threads for bigger projects. I say we do it like we've always done.

We don't really do separate threads anymore for individual developments because we have DenverInfill to keep it all organized. Notice on the Dev thread, we link a ton from that website. You guys need someone to start a website like DI.

I would be onboard for a combined thread involving the PAC and 111. I also agree with RyanD from Denver. One thread for all construction projects in SLC.

No offense but you are way too concerned about what Denver thinks. It was in very poor taste to run over to Denver's development thread and say what you did. Both cities will always be different from one another and each having there own personality is what makes each of them great.

Maybe it was a misunderstanding but no one ever said 111 and the PAC should each have their own threads... the only thing anyone ever suggested was a combined thread.

Yes both cities have great things going for each of them, but to me, Denver is a much better city than SLC in all aspects.

Thanks... It looks like a nice website and a good idea.

Actually this is the first time I have ever said anything to you, and congratulations on your love of everything Denver! I'm done with this conversation... back to development.

That was my proposal, a PAC and 111 Thread. NOT THREADS.

I for one like the multiple threads, obviously not one for every project just for the large ones. I like knowing that when I click on the Sugarhouse Thread it's going to be related to Sugarhouse, and the SL MSA thread is non SLC related items. If Denver puts everything in one, and they like that, then that is a great way to do it. If Salt Lake prefers our larger projects in their own thread and we like that, then that is a great way to do it. That is called being positive about both cities. There is no competition in my mind on this forum between Salt Lake City and Denver. Yes Denver is a bigger city and metro and has many things that Salt Lake City doesn't have, and Salt Lake City has many things that Denver doesn't have. Both cities have their unique attributes that is what makes them different and unique. I occasionally check out the Denver related threads to see what is going on with our neighbor across the mountain. Plaid Shirts, I appreciate your comments regarding development, however there really is no need for the "Denver Rules" and the "Salt Lake City 🞵🞵🞵🞵🞵" dialogue.
