Salt Lake City: Official Development News Thread - Part 4

[nushiof]

There is a "sold" sign on the vacant lot on the NW corner of 400 S. and West Temple. The lot which VOID once considered for their hotel. Does anyone know who purchased it, and what will be going in there?

As for Dave & Busters I know that about 6 or 7 years ago they were working with a firm located in Salt Lake City to explore entering the market. It was their layout, the bar is essentially in the center of the restaurant space, in relation to the Zion Curtain rule that made them decide to not expand into that State at that time. I think the Gateway's focus on entertainment is a perfect fit for a Dave & Busters. I was at the Gateway yesterday and they are putting new framing on the clock tower face. I read an article in Downtown the Magazine, that mentioned they are going to convert the existing clock tower into LED Screens. I really am excited to see the changes coming to The Gateway. I really think that Alta Gateway, Hardware Village and the place on 300 W and N. Temple will really help The Gateway. I read in that same article that the owners already have a lot of new programming scheduled for this year.

There is also a new leasing flyer out for Gateway that has a rendering of the new clock tower.

I did a little digging and the property on the NW corner of 400 South and West Temple was recently purchased by a Texas based development group. https://landmarkc.com/ I haven't heard about any specific projects for the site yet and it is very early. They've only owned it since April. Ok, now speculate away!

Sounds like they do a number of different things, but one of their specialties is hotel development with some big brand hotels. Interesting.

I posted about this at the beginning of April, but the plan with renderings, which I have seen, calls for both a hotel and office building on the site.

The proposed project will have a podium parking structure with the hotel being 12 actual hotel floors and an additional top 2 floors being condos with a floor of convention space on the lowest level. This will be situated in the NW corner of the lot.

The office building will be right on the corner and have retail on the first floor and be 11 floors of office with 3 floors of parking structure.

It's a no-brainer to put an office on that corner as law firms that regularly practice at the federal courthouse will occupy it.

Sounds like no or minimal underground parking. Also sounds like something in the range of 175' for the hotel/condo tower and 200' for the office building.

This project would be good and will help Cafe Molise just across the street.

I hope that we do hear more about the project in the near future as well as get to see some renderings.

So are we talking about two towers here?

Tower 1: 18 + floors for the hotel (podium 3 floors, hotel 12 floors, condos 2 floors, convention space 1 floor)

Tower 2: 15 + floors (retail 1 floor, office 11 floors, parking 3 floors)

Yes two towers, though 12 floors of hotel as I recount, so 19 floors as currently proposed for the hotel/condo tower.

Not that FUTURE MAYOR is whinning, because I can't recall him ever doing so...and i've read many others stating the same thing...but, Salt Lake/Utah doesn't have a corner on the market in regards to strange, outdated and just plain stupid liquor laws. MANY states/cities do - Dallas/Texas being one of them. They make SLC look like a Home Brewery.

As for the possibly CCH being located on the SW corner of 100 S and West Temple, I would be fine with any of the three forumers renderings, all of which include retaining the historic structures/facades that now exist on 100 S. That is my biggest beef with the project is that I guarantee that Piskos has no vision to incorporate those buildings into the design. I do hope that if he partners with someone such as DDRM that they will have the vision to incorporate those buildings into the design. Several Council member recently attended a conference regarding preservation and growth so it is on their radar. I hope that the city uses the conditional use approval that would be required for a building as tall as the CCH would need to be on that location, as a way to require the incorporation of those historic buildings.

As for Dave & Busters I know that about 6 or 7 years ago they were working with a firm located in Salt Lake City to explore entering the market. It was their layout, the bar is essentially in the center of the restaurant space, in relation to the Zion Curtain rule that made them decide to not expand into that State at that time.

The problem is that:

1) Most those states leave it to the city/county.

2) Most those states' population hubs aren't remotely as bad.

It's not fair to compare Salt Lake City's strained liquor laws to that of Amarillo, Texas.

It's not just the privatized liquor stores or sad last call or even the fact we have 3.2 beer - it's the other laws that make it more difficult for businesses to operate with a liquor license.

Thing is, when you add 'em all together, it's much worse.
