Also, what's the chance that something will ever be done with the Marriott hotel, Qwest granite cube, (Both on City Creek property) and the federal reserve squat shop across the street?

I don't think it's confirmed but they're doing soil testing on the site right now so it seems pretty likely.

I can confirm that PRI is moving forward with an office building at the existing park area west of Harmon's.

Well, I think we can trust this guy. Where has he been anyway?

I had the same question.

UtPlanner, I hope you'll be popping up a lot more this coming year? You're confirmations are always appreciated. There's so many major projects that are progressing through the proverbial process this year. Hopefully, three or four of them will actually break ground and commence construction.

micro villas
http://www.micro.villas/villanueva/k...7fy3o6ty3gj0ay

A thirty-unit, one-bedroom rental community near downtown Salt Lake City. VillaNueva is a living laboratory in deep ecology, with roots in the cohousing, sustainability, minimalist, and tiny house movements. Plans for occupancy Summer 2018 are delayed as negotiations for a contractor continue.

The intent of the project is to leverage the transit-oriented location with naturally affordable building practices, to achieve rents that are below average for new construction in the area.

Commission approves another four mid-density projects

Isaac Riddle Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/com...sity-projects/

City officials have identified missing middle housing as a key component in addressing the city’s housing crisis. The city’s recently-adopted Growing SLC Housing Plan and the in-development Accessory Dwelling Unit Ordinance both seek to encourage more mid-density housing citywide to increase the city’s housing stock and help the housing supply catch up to the demand.

The Mabel

Commission members approved front and rear yard setbacks for The Mabel, by developers, CW Urban. The project will consist of six townhome units and will replace a single-family home and vacant lot on 3.13 acres at the 300 South block of 700 East.

The townhomes will be three stories each with a mix of three and four bedroom homes. The end units will have four bedrooms with a bedroom, full bath and two-car garage on the ground floor, living space and kitchen on the second and three bedrooms and two full baths on the third floor.

The interior units will have a similar floor plan except the first-floor room will be an office or flex space and the third floor will have two bedrooms. The front unit will face 700 East but the remaining units will front a small private street.

Richmond Place

...Richmond Place will consist of nine townhome units. Each home will be three stories with four bedrooms and a fourth-floor rook deck. The first floor will include a bedroom and two-car garage. The second floor will consist of a bedroom, half-bath, kitchen and living room. The remaining two bedrooms will be on the third floor.

The project will have three buildings and will be built in three phases. The first phase building will front Richmond Street and will consist of four attached homes. The second and third phase buildings will have three and two units each respectively and will front a private street connected to Richmond.

The Wells Mixed-Use Development:

...The Wells Mixed-Use Development, by Jolley & Jube Investments, will replace two commercial buildings on 0.39 acres at the southwest corner of the 1300 South and 500 East intersection. The project will consist of two, two-story buildings with 12 residential units and 14 commercial units. Both buildings will be mixed-use and will have roof deck amenities. Two walkways, surface parking and landscaping will separate the buildings.

The north building will front both 1300 South and 500 East and will have two restaurant and four retail spaces on the ground floor. The second floor will have four one-bedroom apartments.

The south building will consist of eight residential, five commercial office and three retail units and will front the surface parking lot. The first floor will include the four residential units, an office and the three retail units. The second floor will have four office units and four residential units.

700 Horizon

North Rock Capital plans to build four attached townhomes on the 2400 South block of 700 East. The townhomes will replace a single-family home on 0.32 acres and will be two stories each. The units will have a kitchen, living room, office, half bath and garage on the ground floor. The bedrooms and a bonus room will be on the second. The middle units will have three bedrooms and two full baths and the end units will have two bedrooms and two baths. The developers went through the Planned Development process to allow for three of the units to front a private street.

I would be very impressed if they added some ground floor retail that compliments Harmons and some residential since the cascade design will be limited by restrictions previously discussed. This could be a very attractive location for residential with Harmons as your neighbor, City Creek to the west, and temple square to walk around in. The trend is mixed use so I hope they can capitalize on this great location.

I talked to someone recently with knowledge about the Harmons park development. They understandably wouldn’t share much about it but from what I gathered, it’s going to happen and will likely be very similar to 111. I’d expect it to be all office and a similar height to 111. Maybe taller, maybe shorter, but not much different. I can’t say anything about street level retail since I didn’t get much info.

I’m interested how this will affect other office developments such as Held, Patrinely, and the mystery Carls Jr development (which I’m assuming would have an office component).

I don't see this impacting other planned (commercial) developments. Held will be primarily legal due to its location. Additionally, it will have restaurant(s), a boutique hotel and housing on top. I think it is 7 floors of commercial.

Patrinely will be primarily tech oriented. There is some space already leased for medical training. Additionally, it will have ground level uses (Retail/Restaurant).

Now I did mention impact on commercial development being limited to none. Residential development should/could be positively impacted. Having another 3,000+ jobs downtown could increase demand for additional housing, on top of the existing demand.

How old are these renderings? 2008? The tower in these renderings appears much smaller than 111. Sounds like PRI is thinking bigger than what we see here. I would love to see something taller than 111, which would put the Harmon's tower in the top 3.

The Gross Floor Area is a whopping 645,000 sq ft. 111 is only around 425,000 sq ft.

Additionally, this was at only 308' tall, 21 floors.

If they bring this just slightly above 111, to say 390' and 29 floors, this could push the Square Footage to around 800,000.

That is a massive amount of Square Footage. Without a large tenant, this could disrupt the commercial market. 1 other aspect though is that having this much space come online at once without a large tenant might entice some Tech companies to move downtown.

Now, the above is based on the old design. I am hoping that there has been a redesign so that it isn't so much of a wall along State Street. The original sq ft put into a skinnier building more like 111 would get us a tower around 600'.

I can't wait to see renderings or to get more information about this.

Hopefully the design is going to be taller and thinner. I was at that park yesterday and there really isn't a ton of space to work with so you would think they need to go high. It will be interesting to see if we can top 400' again as Salt Lake desperately needs a new tallest building. I'm excited to see some construction get started, and I'm hoping some of the projects happen. Anyone have any news onthe other projects? Regent St Hotel, Cowboy Properties, Held Properties, and Convention Center Hotel? If everything is completed it will greatly expand our skyline in all directions.

It’s not a large park but if you compare the lot with the tower of 111 on google maps, tower 8 does have the potential to be wall like if they use the entire lot. I’m not sure what the set backs would be though
