When I look at how under developed this area is, it's really overwhelming. Salt Lake City has so much infill that it can do.

As Marvland Pointed out, that's essentially the Granary and Central 9th neighborhoods. Granary from 300 W to I-15 and Central 9th surrounding the 9th S Trax station. IMO Central 9th is essentially 700 S to the 9th S off ramp, but flows into the Ballpark neighborhood on the other side of the ramp, and Main St to 300 W.
As mentioned Central 9th is already experiencing some pretty cool substantial growth, that started several years ago but has excellerated recently. I think the mix of traditional single family dwellings, mixed with 2-3 story mixed use offerings, and a few taller apartment buildings as well.
The Granary on the other hand, while making some strides with the new Axiom Space, the existing and new Artspace apartments and a new brewery coming online in May, I think it's going to take several years before the energy is felt throughout the district. I think it will take longer for two reasons, one due it's it's massive size and due to it's lack of a transit connection. I anticipate that we will see some decent growth and change of uses in the area, which will initiate the need for transit to expand through the area, which will then see a massive amount of growth.
I predict that the next neighborhood that is going to see substantial growth is the NoTe Distirct, as they are branding North Temple. Besides the development on Redwood, just north of N. Temple not much has occurred west of I-15, but obviously there is demand on the East side, as can be seen with the expansion of Cityfront, W 6th and 644 West N. Temple. I think the proposal on S. Temple next to Red Iguana 2 could be the catalyst to see of residential growth along N. Temple west of I-15.
It's not like this growth is going to finish in one and move to the next. We are going to see continued growth in Central 9th, extending/connecting to Ballpark, some slow growth in Granary, and a massive shift in the NoTe. This doesn't even take into account the explosion in Sugarhouse, the vertical growth in EaDo, growth in the Marmalade, Gateway/Depot and the massive growth in the CBD.
Salt Lake City is in the beginning stages of a massive shift. The Salt Lake City we know today is going to be drastically different in 5 years, and nearly unrecognizable in 10. Including several vibrant neighborhoods, not just downtown, Sugarhouse and 9th and 9th.
