I had the exact same thoughts a couple weeks ago. The red flag for me was a couple weeks ago when he said he was reading through old posts and noticed people had been banned. He then asked what gets a person banned. I'm pretty sure Green Bro and Plaid Shirts did the exact same thing. It's always the people that ask what gets you banned that end up causing problems and getting banned.

Anyway, I was out for a walk today and grabbed a few photos that I posted over on the UPAC/111 thread. Nothing special, but thought i'd grab a few shot while I was out.

I like to think my info is trustworthy as well

I think I speak for most if not all, that you're solid in here.
In fact upper echelon contributor.
And various accolades....

Jug what day are we on for squirmfest? I'll check back for your answer three days from now... Anyway back to development anyone else have news or a photobump

they wanna share

Makid · #**1945** Posted **Feb 9, 2015, 12:48 PM**

I may not know for certain who Lumberjack is/was but I did confirm that he was correct about the group that represents Omni hotels was in town 2 weeks ago and they were looking at sites for the CCH.

Beyond that though, I can't confirm much anything else he has said. But just this information would mean that there is some inside information. The odds of it being a lucky guess are really out there.

I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt based on just the above information.

Day four of squirmfest. Oops I was timely

I'll get quick pics on TRAX of 111 if anything was different. Possibly also the new law college

SLC Projects · #**1947** Posted **Feb 9, 2015, 6:04 PM**

Maybe Omni got to Lumberjack for saying too much.

SLCMoosy · #**1948** Posted **Feb 9, 2015, 10:21 PM**

Haha I love that I log in 4 days after posting the squirm comment and everyone is participating in squirmfest now

That being said... — is the promised update?

Future Mayor · #**1949** Posted **Feb 10, 2015, 1:07 AM**

Maybe it's so long and detailed that it's taking four or five days just to type it?

Above is probably the biggest news regarding residential in SLC in a very long time. I would also love to see them account for apartments as well rather than just houses and condos.

But this does show that even though other cities are adding housing, SLC is still growing and in some cases, faster than other cities (in sales, not counting births).

I think numbers like these are great as they do show people are moving to SLC faster than previous years and this will only continue as new opportunities are opened.

So while not the biggest development news, it is news that can lead to more developments.

Here are some updated numbers on 2014 home sales. While the numbers are a bit larger the near 30% is exactly right.

2014
Salt Lake County - 13,726
Salt Lake City - 3,932
28.64%

2015 so far, has stayed exactly the same, percentage wise.
SL Co - 938
SLC - 269
28.67%

Makid · #**1951** Posted **Feb 10, 2015, 3:16 AM**

Another thing to remember is that Omni would be negotiating for the land that the CCH will occupy. With this negotiation, if information is presented that limits the locations to 2 or 3, costs will go up for acquisition.

This is good news and I am glad that it is continuing this year as well.

I hope that the old office, on the corner, gets torn down and something with a little more height gets built there. Central 9th is slowly transforming into a vibrant neighborhood. A few more additions, like those in the works, and I imagine many additional ones will continue to build on vibrancy.

I agree about Central 9th, there is so much potential in that neighborhood and its proximity to the Granary could help growth in both neighborhoods.

Salt Lake announces Regent Street makeover

Orlando · #**1958** Posted **Feb 11, 2015, 9:16 PM**

Very cool. So, the plan they are showing is not Regent Street, but the mid-block connection between Main and Regent. This is very hopeful.

jedikermit · #**1959** Posted **Feb 11, 2015, 9:41 PM**

Yeah, the plan drawing is the mid-block walkway, then the renderings are Regent Street proper.

I'm liking it.

And yes, please, destroy Eat-A-Burger and while you're at it, "accidentally" take out Carl's Jr. It's close enough, it's plausible...

LumberJack · #**1960** Posted **Feb 11, 2015, 10:49 PM**

Hello everyone. Sorry about the disappearance on my part. In a nut shell I cannot post too much more concerning the CCH in SLC. But I did have the opportunity to check out a few sites with a small group of people who are part of the Omni hotel project in SLC.

As to the members on here who think I am plaid shirt, I can promise you I am not. This is my first time finally signing up to post on this forum, under my LumberJack name.

Cheers!
