Yeah, I should have an update on that project next week or the following.

Post on the Cleveland Court project in Liberty Wells. With infill like this our city's population can grow significantly without reshaping neighborhoods like Liberty Wells.

Watching the Jazz game and ESPN's stock aerial footage of SLC is at least 11 years old. Key Bank tower still sitting there.

Sigh.

You should post some more of your mock ups and renderings you used to create! I liked the visuals and possibilities and the ideas it generates

Commercial real estate on historic pace, report says

by Jason Lee https://www.deseretnews.com/article/9000...estate-on-historic-pace-report-says.html

SALT LAKE CITY — Industrial leasing in Salt Lake County has topped 1 million square feet for the sixth consecutive quarter, a new report stated.

It is the longest run on record for the county, according to CBRE’s Q1 2018 MarketView. The report showed lease activity impacted by sustained increased development levels during the first three-month period of the year. Thus far, industrial developers have applied for 1.3 million square feet of speculative industrial permits and the initial phase of the Salt Lake City Port Global Logistics Center was also announced.

The new project is planned to be a 3,000-acre logistics park in the northwest quadrant of Salt Lake City with phase one slated to consist of 10 buildings totaling approximately 7.5 million square feet, said CBRE senior vice president Jeff Richards.

"Salt Lake’s industrial market has experienced remarkable growth in the recent past and it shows no signs of slowing down,” he said. “With the announcement of the Salt Lake City Port Global Logistics Center, the local industrial market has potential to increase in size by 39 percent in the future. This is just one example of the extraordinary momentum occurring in Utah’s industrial segment right now."...

Report says Salt Lake City among 'toughest' housing markets for millennials

by Jason Lee https://www.deseretnews.com/article/9000...est-housing-markets-for-millennials.html

SALT LAKE CITY — While the Beehive State can boast one of the most robust economies and housing markets in the country, that strength has created a challenging circumstance for young would-be homebuyers, a new report says.

According to California-based realtor.com, a combination of low housing inventory, escalating real estate prices and increasing demand have made San Jose, California; Seattle; Salt Lake City; Minneapolis; and Omaha, Nebraska, the toughest areas in the country for prospective millennial homebuyers this spring...

..."Especially in the last year, you look at the economy growing at about two times the pace of the U.S. average," he said. "The other part is the city itself is becoming a place where people actually want to put down roots. That's where we're seeing some of that millennial demand build up in the last 18 months."

He added that the area's lifestyle options are helping to make the city more attractive to the millennial population, something that should continue for the foreseeable future...

Here is a video regarding some of the future for the NWQ. Phase 1 starts next year:

What happened to all the residential planned for the NW quadrant? Did the prison site location nix that? I think future residential development in that quadrant will help bolster downtown SLC as an employment center, and help to compete against the current pull of employment to the Point of the Mountain area/Lehi.

They axed any and all residential plans a few years back.

The original NW Quadrant plan that was approved by the planning commission maybe four years ago did contain residential, a town center, etc. But the plan that actually passed the city council last year did not contain any residential zones. Having 50,000 people and all their pets that close to critical migratory bird habitat got a lot of push back. And it wasn't really compatible with this idea of having a port in the same vicinity.

Wow. So exciting.

Who ever keeps approving the residential developments in down town Salt Lake probably needs to be fierd. I’ve been spending more time in Sugarhouse. It seems like all of the residential building there are planned well and have a nice mixture of retail and places to eat. The apartment buildings downtown seem like they belong in the suburbs. Many of them have nothing in the base. The ones that do are just so poorly planned that no one wants to put anything in them. I really think down town need some good density more then we need skyscrapers right now. I’m seriously considering moving to Sugarhouse when my lease is up... I’m hoping more news comes out about trolly Square before then. That area actually seems like it could be descent.

The sad part is that salt lake keeps approving this crap.

Nobody is approving them because they don't go through a design review in the first place. None of the apartment buildings going up downtown exceed the maximum allowable height without review.

The Sugar House Business District has much more strict design requirements than downtown. For example, there is no maximum square footage allowed without review in downtown, but in Sugar House, any new building over 20,000 square feet goes through a conditional design review. Every apartment building going up downtown would have a design review in Sugar House, because they are all more than 20,000 sq ft.

Also, I believe for all buildings in the Sugar House Business District, some form of retail, or something else that interacts with the street, is required at the street level. I believe the only requirement for retail or similar downtown is anything built within one block east or west of Main Street from South Temple to 400 S, which encompasses a sizeable area, but it's still about 25 percent smaller than the Sugar House Business District.

I think the main reason Sugar House feels way more dense is that none of the streets are the size of highways. In downtown, there's 300 W, West Temple, State Street, 500 S, 600 S, and parts of North Temple, 100 S, 200 S, and 400 S that look and feel and sound like highways. I understand 600 S, 500 S, 300 W, and even the portion of North Temple east of 300 W (the portion between 300 W and 400 W, however, is perhaps the most ridiculous stretch of road in the downtown area). All the other ones could use some work.

This is why Salt Lake can’t be taken seriously or be given nice things. Obviously people in Salt Lake haven’t been to enough plays or shows to know how to show respect. This really comes down to common sense. This definitely gives Salt Lake a bad look. It makes me wonder if future shows will think twice before committing to bring their shows to Salt Lake. I always knew Salt Lake and its area residents didn’t deserve such a nice theatre.

This, and Russell Westbrook’s comments on rude and disrespectful fans really does make the people of the area look bad...

I agree, they could definitely add some residential and also some retail at the bottom. I’ll take the height of 350’ though. That will be great for the skyline....

Oh wait, wrong thread my friend!

False. Every city has its problems.

Russell Westbrook is a sore loser, and it's rich to hear him talking about respect when he is generally considered one of the most selfish and disrespectful players in the league. He might be my most hated player in the whole league.

As for the Hamilton thing...if multiple people over multiple shows say the same thing, I may take note of it. Otherwise, I think the explanation of people checking the scores of the Jazz game holds merit. I agree it's disrespectful to constantly be on your phone during a live performance of a play, but that doesn't indicate that it's a regular Utah pattern...also, Utahns are crazy about the Jazz.

As for San Diego-Honolulu...I really think the highlight of his day is to come into this thread and find a reason to bash Salt Lake.

Anyway, as for actual development talk...

Does anybody know why downtown doesn't incorporate design reviews like Sugarhouse does? I know they have to meet a certain "point" system along the TRAX corridors on 400S and North Temple, but why not elsewhere in downtown? Is that something we can expect the city council to address?
