I am also pretty disappointed at the exterior material choices for Seasons at Library Square. I am just tired of developers often choosing different shades of brown. The color palette is too neutral especially for such a high profile location. I like the general design of the building, placement along the street frontage and certainly the location. I suppose that is why I was so disappointed at the finishing touches that I have seen thus far. The brick along the base will help but I'm not sure it will be enough to win me over.

On a different topic, I think Vasilios is right. ( I can't believe I'm actually saying that. The guy is the worst.) We will continue to see residential development downtown. Several developers have been in the office discussing high rise residential development though the only one that has actually purchased property and appears to be moving forward is Ivory Homes at 200 East and 300 South.

And on yet a different topic, I really like the Beehive Building and the changes that are proposed. The RDA at their board meeting on Tuesday afternoon discussed the terms of several RFP's for the Depot District. There are some great maps and general details about the expectation of future development in there if somebody wanted to post them. You can find them in the agendas at www.slcrda.com . I think that this area will see a huge transformation in the next few years. If developed as proposed I think it will create a really unique neighborhood.

I didn't get a picture, but the bottom 4 floors or so of the Shilo/Holiday Inn are being painted white.

I looked over the documents and I do like the thought and possible future with the proposed phase 1 projects.

The only thing that I think may add some increased interest would be for #1 and #5 to be able to increase in height. #1 is the 3rd South, 6th West primarily commercial building, #5 is the 4th South and 5th West primarily commercial building.

I think it would be good to add increased height in these 2 lots. I am thinking that maybe encourage max height of 150'. Site 1, being where it is adjacent to the hub itself, should maybe be able to go even higher to encourage greater transit usage. The residential buildings should also be encouraged for a max height of at least 95' (current max under zoning) but allow increases in height for community upgrades, mixed incomes, unit sizes and the like.

Overall, I just would like to see some way for heights to be increased above 95' but to an overall cap. Each phase should be able to raise the height cap as development increases in the area.

Lastly, even if no height increases were allowed with phase 1, I do think that it will be a vast improvement and will be a great benefit for the area as well as the city.

Just about all of these are right on 100 south. I wish we could get some more on west temple and along university.

This isn't the pic from the agenda document but I'm posting it because it shows the whole area. This could be a really neat area. In addition to the redevelopment of the two blocks you've also got the new, bigger intermodal hub to be constructed at some point (when I have no idea), and then just west of the hub the huge urban park that's planned. I feel a little iffy about the park idea though. One of my favorite things about the area around the hub is the huge warehouse just west of the tracks. I think if and when they do the park they should keep the warehouse and reuse it. The trouble is I have no idea what they would do with such a huge building.

Well if it gives us a 600'+ tower I'm sure nobody on here would complain. I like the design.

I've always thought that large warehouse would make a great year-round public market.

The new sign for the ex-Shilo - New Holiday Inn Express should be going up today. The sign is on site and they have taken down the last of the rusted sign post on the corner of 2nd South and West Temple.

I am not yet sure how I feel about the colors. I walk by the building every day. I do know that I like it more than the ex-Shilo coloring. The new colors, even if some may feel blah about it, it does feel more urban, at least to me.

UTPlanner · #**1618** Posted **Jan 15, 2015, 9:08 PM**

Makid, you and the City Council think alike. In their discussion on Tuesday they requested staff to look at modifying the zoning on those blocks to allow for increased height.

I think I have to agree with you there. It's not exciting, but it's also not as repulsive as it originally sounded. It's certainly better than the original orange and beige design. I think I'll just accept as is, and look forward to newer better buildings!

A close friend of mine that works close with TRT Holdings, the parent company of Omni, just let me know that he was able to see early renderings of the future Omni CCH that will be built in Salt Lake, in Dallas this morning. He said the group was shown 2 different renderings, both were similar but tweaked slightly "depending on the location" of the CCH. He said that "the two renderings were designed with two different locations in mind".

He went onto say that the two renderings were similar to the current Omni Hotel at CNN Center, in Atlanta.
