Salt Lake City: Official Development News Thread - Part 4

[Liberty Wellsian]

Even if done somewhat poorly this is so much better than what is there now. Even if this ends up feeling like a piece of costume jewelry I'd prefer that to another meh apartment building. A little bit of tacky is better than an entire city of bland in my book.

This developments appealing style, the historic hipster neighborhood just to the east of 700, Trolley Square across the street, and TRAX within a short walk will make this a very attractive place to live. I think the demand could be pretty heavy for this complex, even if it does go a little pricey. Perhaps a mix of market and some upscale.

I see where the artist used the mountains to the east of Thanksgiving Point as a backdrop. I wish they would put some of this style into Thanksgiving Point. This would have been a natural fit in style to go along with the gardens and many other visitor attractions.

Hmm, Hey Mr. Mecham, Thank you for your continued interest in the growth of Sugar House. Could you please develop something more along this line vs. what your proposing for your latest apt. complex.

This is what is going where Bayleaf use to be... I miss Bayleaf :-/

Maybe we'll still be able to get perfectly greasy southern food at 2am. Maybe?... I miss Bayleaf too.

I doubt it... I think it might be like a vegan salad type of place. We will find out soon enough.

Also the weird Italian shoe store that recently opens next door to Yankee candles at CCC is already gone... CCC doesn't seem to be having much luck keeping that space leased out.

No he can't because he's got no vision.

That was a temporary store just like the game store. The mall is still waiting on the tenants they want to sign for the spaces.

I actually think this height looks great from this angle. Add another of similar height and you have the makings of a very respectable skyline. Of course, the mountains from the other angles will always make it incomparable.

Delts. I agree. And the 111 isnt even on that picture. Now imagine if you also included 111, 151, and the regent street hotel.

[delts145]

Yeah, 111 would be to the left and fairly prominent. That alone would make quite the skyline infill from that angle. With 111, a tall slender CCH doesn't seem lonely at all from that vantage point.

Add in the Air?Center, and that angle will really look sizeable.

That ain't ever gonna happen.

Photo Bump: Even the most begrudging forum member can't get past this fact. There is no major metro in the top 50 that can touch the backdrop of the Wasatch Front.

Green: Open Space
Black: Underground parking and service connections. Work with CCR to use the existing parking connection to reduce curb cuts and pedestrian crossings.
Purple: 35 Story (400') Residential building
Red: New meeting space (extends under Blue) and new Welcome Center/Gift Shop
Blue: 45 Story (550') 1,200 room CCH tower.

This would allow 2 towers, both skinnier than a combined single tower.

The Red meeting space area could be open space on the top to allow for additional outdoor space for meetings, conventions, restaurant or other purpose.

HandsomeJohn, I hope you success in your next project and I would love to see what you could do with the APS land.

If it is going to be a mixed use project with both hotel and convention center, I would be happy with something to this affect. Otherwise I think the building would be too wide... In my opinion, to fit all they are looking to do. Looking at the renderings of the LA hotel, it makes the surrounding buildings look kinda funny proportionally. And I don't think we will be lucky enough to get something like the LA hotel. For the record, I would be happy with something like the LA hotel size wise. Let's cross our fingers and see what we get. Tall and thin please

[Utah_Dave]

Could someone put the Phoenix Sheraton hotel in the proposed north location so we can see what that would do? I would appreciate it!

Thanks

The red area above is only going to be 2-3 stories tall, meeting space. So, the entire building isn't going to be that wide. The new CCH does have to include new meeting space.

Hi everyone. Took some pics of a few projects today.

Liberty Crest:


Paragon Station:


Alta Gateway. I really like how this one is turning out:


A couple pics of 400 West apartments. It's really hard to get a good pic showing how big this thing is:




And the fence around Hardware Station. Hopefully they get their building permit soon:


Also, maybe this question has been answered, but does anyone know if the residential and office and plaza for Hardware Station will be constructed at the same time? I just noticed that the fence surrounds only the area where the residential is going.
