Downtown Update - Hyatt Regency, Convention Center Hotel

Convention center hotel project from 200 South, at West Temple. Photo by Luke Garrott.


Construction on the hotel started Jan. 13 and the grand opening is scheduled for October 2022.

Jason Lee for the Deseret News...Salt Lake County officials, in conjunction with Atlanta-based real estate developer Portman Holdings, broke ground Friday on the building, which the Hyatt Hotels Corp.
will manage and operate as the new Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City. The new hotel will be located at the corner of 200 South and West Temple in downtown Salt Lake City, adjacent to the Salt Palace Convention Center.

Scheduled to open in October 2022, the $377-million project will be partially financed through the Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy program, which allows for specialty financing to enable green energy design and implementation,
a news release stated. The 700-plus room hotel will be among the first “ground-up” developments to utilize the program in the Beehive State...

...“It gives us another layer of sophistication when it comes to attracting bigger and better shows to the state of Utah that helps the entire area. Utah’s going to take a better step in terms of prominence on the national stage because of a
facility like this,” he said. “People that hadn’t considered the state before are now going to say, ‘I need to look at Utah, I need to be in Utah for these conventions.’ That’s what kind of prominence this new center is going to give us.”

The 686,784-square-foot, 26-story hotel will include 700 guest rooms and 60,000 square feet of meeting space, as well as two separate restaurants on the first and sixth floors and a lobby bar. The sixth-floor restaurant will sit adjacent to
an outdoor area with a swimming pool, as well as a 7,500-square-foot outdoor terrace for events and other activities.

The project will be directly connected to the Salt Palace Convention Center to provide convenience for convention attendees, Baisiwala said...

...“This hotel is built directly into the convention center, which makes it exceptionally easy for the convention attendees to go in and out from their hotel rooms into the convention center,” he said. “Perhaps more importantly, it has a lot
of suites — big rooms where VIPs can be housed. And it also has a lot of meeting space which augments the number of meeting rooms of the Salt Palace.”

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/e9/ca/10/e9ca1076b57f4a18e8276a6ce0a255d4.jpg


This enthusiastically welcomed development was formerly the giant parking lot of the big-box retailer Shopko. We all love getting rid of big parking lots.
Both the 80 and 60 Park Ave. structures are now completed. The 40 Park structure is progressing rapidly as you can see in the ABIDrone flyover

Park Avenue Developments

The buildings are replacing 9 acres of underutilized land near the heart of Sugar House. There are two new east-to-west streets to the north and south of the
development that will connect Highland Drive to 1300 East. The development will also include two new north to south throughways connecting Ashton to Stringham.

Sugar House - Crede Residential Launch Development - https://www.connect.media/crede-cottonwood-residential-launch-development-on-slc-mf/

Irvine, CA-headquartered CREDE broke ground on Park Avenue Apartments, a 238-unit multifamily complex in Salt Lake City’s Sugar House community. Developed in partnership with Salt Lake City-based Cottonwood Residential, the project is set for a Q4 2021 delivery.

CREDE’s Colby Durnin says, “Park Avenue Apartments will provide highly desirable apartments in the burgeoning Sugar House area. The economic growth of Utah and Salt Lake City in particular, have led to a strong need for new residential options, as more companies relocate or open offices in Salt Lake City.”

The mid-rise 238-unit project will offer studio, one and two-bedroom apartment homes. Each unit will include nine-foot ceilings, luxury vinyl wood plank flooring, upgraded cabinetry and stone countertops, with most units having a balcony or patio. The building will also feature 1,400 square feet of retail space, a fitness center, and a resort-style pool with an outdoor terrace that includes fire pits, barbecues and two hot tubs.

Downtown Update - The Exchange

Covering more than 2 acres of prime downtown real estate... The Exchange is a joint venture between Giv Development, a local development firm, and Domain Properties, a New York based real estate firm. Both organizations focus on building and enhancing the surrounding community, in addition to the physical development. It was designed by KTGY Architecture + Planning. As part of the City's Civic Campus, this mixed-use development will sit just east of the Salt Lake City Public Library. The Exchange is planned to include 216 market-rate and 196 affordable residential units, which will add much needed density to the area. The number of units will total 412 units. Current plans have more than 20,000 square feet of street-front retail space. This ground floor space will be anchored by an international food hall and marketplace in partnership with the International Rescue Committee’s Spice Kitchen business incubator program. Other notable features of the development will include “The Shop at Salt Lake City”, Domain’s innovative co-working and business accelerator platform. The 30,000-square foot space will offer amenities and programming aimed at stimulating entrepreneurship, small business development, and community engagement. The proposal highlights the use of art and green space and commitment to energy efficiency and will be a great addition to the Civic Campus.

With commission approval both phases of The Exchange move forward

A developer has filed a Zoning Amendment with the Planning Commission for a 4.37 acre property in Sugar House located at 850 East and 2100 South. They are requesting the property be rezoned from CC Corridor Commercial Zone (45' max) to CSHBD2 Zone (60' max). This will allow for additional height and density for residential units. They argue that with the additional height, they can provide better better amenities for residents, provide a mix of unit types and prices. They suggest that the additional 53 residential units gained by the addition of the 5th floor will be rent restricted by the 80% AMI standard in Salt Lake City.

The new development, Sugar Town Apartments, will be replacing the old Snelgrove Ice Cream Plant in Sugar House. It appears to be proposed as a five floor main structure with separate townhomes as part of the project. They don't specify how many total units the project will have or any other details.

Downtown - Elks Block Redevelopment - Additional Renderings

Originally Posted by Blah_Amazing

The new building will be eight floors (5+podium) and 87 residential units.

Project Brief:

The property consists of multiple parcels totaling approx. 3 acres in Downtown Salt Lake City at the northeast corner of State and South Temple. The redevelopment proposal is for the rehabilitation and renovation of the Elks Building, site, and the attached parking structure along 1st Avenue. The Elks Building will be preserved and improved for use as an office building. The design proposal is to remove the mid-century additions that have been added onto the building and replace the top 2 floors with a new modern addition. The original south elevation, notable for its use of brick and terra cotta, will be preserved. The east and west elevations will be modified to provide additional windows to improve the interior quality of space. The interior of the building will be modernized to provide a high-quality office space opportunity.
New construction of a multi-family residential building with structured parking is proposed on the vacant land to the east of the Elks Building. The building will have residential units and upper floor balconies facing South Temple. The scale of the new building will be consistent in height with neighboring buildings. The façade facing South Temple is a combination of symmetrical and asymmetrical and will have architectural relief and steps in massing. An amenity deck is planned on the north side of the building over the parking structure. The parking structure will be lined with residential and have very little visual exposure to South Temple.
Existing homes along 1st Avenue, with the exception of one home, will remain in place and be renovated and remain as residential use. The one home proposed for demolition is designated as a contributing structure but was built midcentury and does not have the quality and character of the turn of the century homes to the east. The homes that will remain will be upgraded to improve the interior and exterior living environments. Color palettes will be updated, and landscape improvements will be made to the front and back of the homes.

Downtown Update - Redevelopment, Seismic Upgrades, Renovation and Restoration of Historic Temple Square

https://www.mormonnewsroom.org/article/plans-unveiled-salt-lake-temple-renovation

Current Temple Square setup. Note in upcoming plans how the structures fronting the Temple at the north and south will be demolished and replaced in different positions in their relationship to the Temple itself. The more modern structures
that now front the Temple on both sides will be removed and new structures with a more historic vibe will be constructed to the sides of the Temple. This will open up the iconic structures approach. Landscaping and water features will also
be redeveloped, again affording the historic Temple improved site lines. Also, a significant part of the redevelopment will be subterranean structures and seismic upgrades.

Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the pioneer-era temple will close December 29, 2019, and will remain closed for approximately four years while undergoing a major structural and seismic renovation. The temple is expected
to reopen in 2024 with a public open house.

“This project will enhance, refresh, and beautify the temple and its surrounding grounds,” said President Nelson. “Obsolete systems within the building will be replaced. Safety and seismic concerns will be addressed. Accessibility will be enhanced
so that members with limited mobility can be better accommodated.”

The surrounding area on Temple Square and the plaza near the Church Office Building will also be affected as existing buildings are demolished and the area undergoes renovation and restoration. The existing annex and temple addition on the
north side, which were built in the 1960s to add needed support facilities and more sealing (marriage) rooms, will be demolished and rebuilt.

What will visitor experience be like during renovation? We now know

Tad Walch - December 4th - Deseret News - https://www.deseret.com/2019/12/4/209945...-new-renderings-renovation-temple-square

SALT LAKE CITY — When the Salt Lake Temple closes for a major, four-year renovation on Dec. 29, Temple Square won’t.

In fact, Temple Square will remain open 365 days a year and is expected to attract more visitors than ever before as the curious flock to watch the construction and see a new film and exhibits at the Conference Center across the street, officials
for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said Wednesday.

The L.D.S. church also released four new renderings on Wednesday of what the temple renovation will look like when it’s done in 2024, but officials focused on the Temple Square visitor experience during a round of interviews with a large
media contingent in the square’s South Visitors’ Center.

They said the Conference Center will be the hub of vibrant, new activity in a new role as a welcome and visitors center.

“It will be unique and engaging and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Tanner Kay, the Temple Square guest experience manager. “The most exciting thing to experience will be to view the temple renovation itself from the vantage point of
the balcony and the roof of the Conference Center. You’ll be able to see over all the construction fences right down into the full excavation of the temple.”

Some 5 million people visit Temple Square each year, making it one of the Nation's biggest tourist attractions. The tourist buses that bring many of those visitors to the area now will arrive on the West Temple Street side of the
Conference Center block.

They will find a new, 17-minute film about the original construction of the temple and its renovation. In new exhibits in the Conference Center lobbies, they will be able to touch some of the artifacts removed from the temple for the renovation and view some of the temple’s artwork.


“We’ll invite tourists to step right off their buses and off the curb and right into the Conference Center theater to view the orientation film as the way to start their visit,” Kay said. “That’s new. We’ve never had an orientation film on Temple
Square before, so we are going to invite all the groups to view the film to start their visit. But guests can choose their own adventure on Temple Square.”

The artifacts and artwork in the exhibits will change and rotate throughout the four-year renovation. Also, the cutaway model of the temple will be relocated from the South Visitors’ Center to the Conference Center balcony lobby, which also
will be home to a new statue of Jesus Christ.

A new audio/visual experience will help visitors to the Conference Center auditorium, which seats 21,000 people and features an organ with 7,708 pipes, feel what it’s like to attend...concerts by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square...

...Construction viewing areas will be available around the square, too.

“There will be multiple vistas to see what work is going on,” he said. “People will be able to see the deep excavation and the footings and foundations of the temple.”

Roberts is excited to show off the construction site with the Conference Center as a welcome and visitors center.

“It’s going to be absolutely spectacular,” he said. “You’ll have the opportunity to come down, enjoy the temple construction site, walk over and see the foundation of the temple while we’re working on it. No one’s ever had the chance to see that.
To construction guys, that’s pretty exciting.”

The remodel has two main purposes.

“First of all, seismic stability in the temple concerns the First Presidency and the Brethren long term. We want to make sure that is protected and it will last,” Roberts said. “Secondly, mechanical, electrical and plumbing is 56 to 65 years old. It needs to be replaced. It needs to be updated.”

The reason the foundation and footings will be exposed is because the major part of the renovation is placing the massive, granite temple — the largest Latter-day Saint temple in the world — on a base isolation system.

“What we’re doing is separating the temple, the foundation, from the earth itself with a mobile, moving base isolation system,” Roberts said. “So we’ve got to go all the way down there. We’re going to save the old footings because they are historic. ... We will brace the temple up on the base isolators and separate it from the ground, in essence ... to allow the temple to float and move during a seismic event at a slower rate to preserve it from damage.”

Roberts said church leaders have been considering the base isolator seismic upgrade for nearly 20 years.

“We now think we have the most up-to-date, proven technology,” he said.

The renderings released Wednesday unveiled another driver in the renovation project — history.

Emily Utt, a church historian, has been working since 2011 on the Salt Lake Temple’s history. She is part of a committee that is working to use the renovation as an opportunity to return the temple closer to its original state.

She has studied hundreds of architectural drawings, layers of paint, the insides of walls, the murals and more.

“We want this building to be safe and functional for the next 100 years, but we also want this building to be beautiful for the next 100 years,” she said. “And because this building is so iconic and so important to the L.D.S. church, we want to honor
those who did the original construction. Preserving the building is the very best way we can make this building safe and honor those who came before.

“We hope at the end of this project that if original craftsmen walked through, they would recognize it as their building and say, ‘Oh, I painted that’ or ‘Oh, I put that millwork in.’”

Demolition Breakdown - Crews demolish Temple Square visitors center and wall to prepare for Salt Lake Temple & Temple Square renovation

By Tad Walch for the Deseret News - https://www.deseret.com/faith/2020/1/17/...-reconstruction-demolished-temple-square


SALT LAKE CITY — The heavy-duty dig bucket on a CAT excavation tractor began knocking down the South Visitors’ Center on Temple Square on Friday as crews prepared the area for the gargantuan renovation project on the landmark
Salt Lake Temple.

Construction crews also demolished parts of the south wall surrounding Temple Square to give them better access during the project.

They also have removed trees and statues, ...which are being placed in storage along with temple furnishings.

Some trees and vegetation are being recycled. Others are being preserved and will be restored when the project is completed in 2024.

“We are working to carefully preserve some of the trees, transplant them and then replant them at the end of the project,” said Andy Kirby, director of historic temple renovations, in a news release issued Friday. “We will also plant additional
trees when we finish the renovation, so there will be more trees on Temple Square than there were when this project began.”


A tall, 70-year-old Cedar of Lebanon tree is being preserved.

“It’s a special tree,” Kirby said. “It’s beautiful, beloved by many, so we’ll go through great efforts to preserve this tree as we excavate around it.”...

While the temple is closed, Temple Square remains open. Visitors are encouraged to come and watch the work, which soon will include the start of the excavation project to install a base isolation system under the temple for seismic stability.

On Jan. 1, the Conference Center across the street began to serve as a visitors center, a role it will have throughout the renovation. Visitors are encouraged to stop in for new exhibits, a new film about the temple and the renovation, and to
look down into the construction site from the Conference Center roof.

Downtown, Temple Square Renovation Recap & Photo Updates

At a news conference held on April 19, 2019, President Russell M. Nelson announced that the Salt Lake Temple would close on December 29, 2019, for approximately four years of renovation and restoration including improvements to
the surrounding grounds and facilities. The temple is expected to reopen in 2024 when guests will be invited to tour the interior of the iconic building during a public open house. Highlights of the project include the following:


- Structural reinforcements to the walls and roof of the temple will work in conjunction with a base isolation system installed under the massive foundation to mitigate the impact of seismic activity.

- Modern mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems will replace the aging and outdated equipment located throughout the temple.

- The historic interior of the temple will be restored and refreshed, returning to a Victorian-inspired palette of dark woods, rich colors, and patterned fabrics.

- Portions of the solid wall that currently surround Temple Square will be replaced with decorative fences, providing much better views and access to the temple from the north and south.

- The South Visitors’ Center will be demolished and replaced with two smaller visitor pavilions that will not obstruct views of the temple from the south.

- The existing annex and sealing room addition on the north side of the temple, built in the 1960s, will also be demolished and replaced. Two smaller patron pavilions will replace the annex, and the sealing room addition will be
rebuilt slightly wider and more true to the design of the exterior wall that it extends.

- The recommend desk will be located underground, featuring expansive skylights with generous views of the temple above. This area will be accessible from the patron pavilions through a grand hall or by way of a patron tunnel from the
Conference Center parking facility.

- The plaza and landscaping south of the Church Office Building will be repaired and renovated with greater emphasis on the visitor experience.

- Both live and film presentations of religious ceremonies will be available when the temple reopens, with sessions available in 86 languages.

Update, Downtown South - Chrome Works - 234 residential unit development - Design Review

https://citizenportal.slcgov.com/Cit...howInspection=
The project is proposed to be 6 floors of 234 residential units sitting on a two floor podium (8 floors total). It also appears to be the first phase in what may be a two-phase development.

Application Objective:

Quote:
As originally conceived, the multifamily projects at 269 Brooklyn Avenue was to be a height of 60 feet, conforming to CG zoning code. Recently, we learned that environmental concerns are suggesting that our planned basement parking may not be advisable, due to the water table level, therefore we are requesting Design Review to approve that we raise the building height from 60 to 65 feet. While this is permitted for our CG zoning, exceeding a height of 60’ requires design review.

This approach would put the first level at -1-0 and the bottom of our 3’ matt slab at -4’-0, which is ideal because the first 4’ of soil is organic and has to be removed no matter. If the water table is at -6’-0 (it is probably lower) our vapor mitigation system located right under the slab would be well above the water table. And we would never have any water in our site drainage system and hence no monitoring costs. The vapor mitigation and site drainage might be able to be combined into one.

Project Description:

Quote:
269 Brooklyn Avenue is a proposed 234-unit multifamily building targeting low income residents earning 60% of Area Median Income (AMI). Project equity is to be financed with 4% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) issued by Utah Housing Corporation. Parking will be provided in the 2:1 ration mandated by CG zoning. The project is composed of studio, one bedroom and two-bedroom micro units. There are 191 studios, 134 of which have 383 square feet, although studios range in size from 332 square feet
to 447 square feet; One bedroom units total 22, ten of which have 498 square feet, with a range from 460 to 673 square feet. Two-bedroom units total 21, with ten units of 600 square feet, ranging from 580 to 677 square feet.

Both projects will have two levels of concrete podium providing parking, lobby and residential units. Five stories of wood-frame construction will be constructed above the podium, comprised of residential units and community space on the rooftop. Exterior construction materials combine an attractive mix of Mineral fiber siding, stucco and metal panels.

Downtown Update - The Zephyr Lofts - Downtown warehouse district continues its transformation

Luke Garrott Reports - Full Article @

Clearwater Homes of Utah and Watt Investment Partners of Santa Monica, CA, will start construction in late summer on a 138-unit market-rate apartment project at 360 West 200 South in the heart of Salt Lake City’s warehouse district.

The project aspires to be “iconic, remarkable, and aesthetically enduring” – “a source of pride for the local community” according to the local developer, Clearwater’s Micah Peters.

Peters has developed Paragon Station on the same block, and also is under construction with the Paperbox project with PEG Development just behind the Zephyr Lofts site...

...The name “is homage to the depot district and the historic Zephyr engine/line that steamed into Salt Lake City on the Union Pacific rails,” Developer Micah Peters told Building Salt Lake.

Infilling surface parking lots between the historic Westgate Lofts on the east and the Dakota Lofts on the West, The Zephyr will rise eight stories to 85 ft. Sitting on D-4 zoning, the developers have entered the design review process in order
to exceed the zone’s nominal 75 ft height maximum.

The Zephyr’s 138 units will be a combination of 70 studio, 55 one-bedroom, and 13 two-bedroom apartments.

It’ll be parked at a 1:1 ratio (140 stalls), with the upper floor of the podium parking incorporating 3 car city parking stackers.

Street frontage will consist of gyms, a leasing office, and a small bar/restaurant space. Clearwater’s Peters says he’s in conversations with a local artisan operator that has several food + beverage businesses in the neighborhood. The retail
space offers 1800 sf and a 20-seat outdoor patio.

It will provide a public walkway from 200 South to the midblock right-of-way that skirts the Paperbox development.

Downtown Update - The Patrinely Project

Tony Semarad for the Salt Lake Tribune - July 15thhttps://www.sltrib.com/news/2020/07/15/construction-starts-new/ - Developers broke ground Tuesday on a 10-story office and retail project in downtown Salt Lake City, called 650 Main. The Phase I glass-clad tower at the southwest corner of Main Street and 600 South will add 332,100 square feet of high-end offices — with large floor plans, 10-foot-high ceilings and copious views — to Utah’s downtown business core, with its first phases set to be completed in early 2022. The project’s backers have a second round of construction upcoming, with an office building of similar size envisioned on adjacent land at 645 W. Temple. The Utah Transit Authority announced in April it will add a new TRAX station nearby, paid for by Salt Lake City, its redevelopment agency and the developers. The new tower has been designed by HOK, a worldwide firm headquartered in St. Louis, and its builders will reportedly aim for what’s known as LEED Gold, a high standard of energy efficiency. In addition to a spacious lobby with seating areas and about 4,600 square feet of space for retail outlets, the new tower will offer tenants an indoor fitness center with locker rooms, bike storage, a private courtyard, conference facilities and both indoor and outdoor restaurant dining. The tower is one of a half-dozen new high-rise projects proposed or under construction in Utah’s downtown core. Work on 650 Main, which has been under discussion for several years, is getting underway in spite of the pandemic after its primary backers — Houston-based developer Patrinely Group and USAA Real Estate, with home offices in San Antonio — announced in March they’d landed a major tenant for the new building.

March 11, 2020 - Enerbank Inks First Deal With 650 South Main

EnerBank USA is the first tenant to sign for space at 650 Main, a planned 10-story, 326,000-square-foot, Class A office building in downtown Salt Lake City. The bank will occupy 88,900 square feet on the top three floors, starting in early 2022.

Patrinely Group’s Dennis Tarro, along with Aaron Jones, Todd McLachlan and Roman Bernardoof with NKF represented the landlord, a partnership between Patrinely Group and USAA Real Estate. “This location will provide employees more convenient access to public transportation, while offering them excellent amenities and a productive working environment to give our customers the best service possible,” said EnerBank’s Charlie Knadler.

Construction on 650 Main will begin in spring. The property will be designed for LEED Gold certification, with floor plate sizes ranging from 40,000 square feet on the lower floors, to 29,500 square feet on the upper floors. HOK is the designer.

650 South Main

For companies focused on being truly competitive in today’s economy, workspaces have evolved to meet the demands of how the best and brightest collaborate in the workplace. 650 Main, a 10-story, 320,000-square-foot class A office building, is designed to meet these needs, providing dynamic workspaces that can benefit employee recruitment, foster innovation, and support healthy lifestyles. Building features start with oversized light-filled floorplates, tall ceiling heights, comprehensive onsite amenities, and outdoor tenant spaces. But they go on to include uniquely convenient accessibility, ample parking, onsite restaurants, and a location steps away from TRAX Salt Lake City’s light rail system. All this in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, a city consistently recognized as one of the best in the nation for healthy lifestyles and quality of life. The result is a modern workplace that is connected to it all. 650 Main – a modern office building designed for how the next generation will work.

650 Main offers a desirable downtown location, with numerous hotels, dining, and entertainment spots nearby. Accessibility need not be sacrificed, with a three-minute drive to/from Interstate 80, a 10-minute drive to the airport, and direct accessibility to the TRAX light rail system right outside the front door. Whether it is the morning commute, a business lunch, or an evening workout, 650 Main’s location provides a world of convenient options for employees and visitors.

Central Metro/East - The Park City real estate market continues to boom amid the pandemic

Bubba Brown, For the Park Record - https://www.parkrecord.com/news/the-park...ket-continues-to-boom-amid-the-pandemic/

In the spring, the coronavirus pandemic shook the Park City business community, forcing the closure of non-essential businesses and thrusting the economy into a sudden downturn.

Amid the upheaval of that period and the months that have followed, however, one industry crucial to Park City’s economy has experienced a dramatic run of success. And third-quarter data from the Park City Board of Realtors indicates that the real estate market continues to boom.

According to the data, the volume of new real estate listings in Summit and Wasatch counties was up 44% in the third quarter, July through September, compared to the same period in 2019. Pending sales, at 1,503, more than doubled. Median sales prices rose 12% for single-family homes and 15% for condominiums.

The Park City real estate market continues to surge, with sales in the third quarter more than doubling the activity in the same period in 2019.
Tanzi Propst/Park Record

William Winstead, president of the Park City Board of Realtors, said third-quarter performance was in line with trends since the start of the pandemic as people from tightly packed large cities flocked to Park City, with its wide open spaces and bountiful recreational amenities, to ride out the pandemic.

“You’ve got an environment here where you’ve got hiking, biking trails, you’ve got a couple of lakes nearby that you can boat in — golf courses, fishing,” Winstead said. “I don’t think the world really realized there were so many opportunities in such a small area.”...

...While Winstead could not have anticipated the extent of the real estate boom, he’s not shocked that the market has proven resilient during an economic slump. He said the same was true during the Great Recession, though the market did not escape that crisis unscathed.

“We haven’t had a lot of downturn in our market,” he said. “Even 2008, 2009, 2010, I don’t think we fell below 25%, 30%, where other states were going down to 50%, 60% and 70% below what the real estate market value was.”

Many Park City residents are unlikely to find the strong third-quarter numbers surprising. Parkites noted how busy the town seemed to be over the summer, from packed trails to crowded grocery stores, even as COVID kept many out-of-state visitors away.

But the question now is whether the people who’ve bought homes here during the COVID crisis plan to live in Park City permanently or retreat back to urban areas when the pandemic is over. Winstead, for one, has heard from many Realtors whose clients say they want to make the Park City area their permanent home.

“It’s hard to leave Park City once you’ve been here,” he said. “Every time I think about going on a vacation, I’m like, ‘Well, where’s a better place to go than Park City?’”

The activity since the pandemic began has not been confined to Park City proper or the Snyderville Basin, though those areas were busy in the third quarter. Midway, Heber City and the area around the Jordanelle in Wasatch County saw large increases in sales, while there was also a flurry of activity in the Kamas Valley.

The challenge facing the area now, Winstead said, will be building amenities, from commercial hubs to trail systems to affordable housing, in the outlying areas to relieve the pressure on the already-stressed infrastructure in Park City.

“It’s an influx of people and it’s going to put a bit of a strain on our infrastructure until we can do something to broaden that to the outlying areas,” he said.
