I would have to say yes. I was quite impressed.

Maybe a photo update will get this forum going.

Birkhill Apartment @ Fireclay Update
For those who don't know Birkhill Apartment is a five-story mix-use apartment building going up right now in Murray on Main street just North of 4500 south. Developers have topped out at five stories, but the building looks more like six stories with the roof area. I've became a big fan of this overall Fireclay redevelopment in Murray. This will be a very cool area once the phases are all finish. Even main street now looks so much more dense as you will see in one of my photos that shows main street with the new buildings.

My bad. The page wasn't set up as "Public" Now it is.

Nice pics Projects. Looks like the project itself is coming along nicely.

Hooray for Hollywood: Park City approves movie studio in narrow vote

City Council majority agrees to allow the disputed project at Quinn's Junction

By Jay Hamburger, The Park Record

http://www.parkrecord.com/ci_2071294...ce=most_viewed

...The vote was in favor of a firm called Quinn's Junction Partnership, the landowner. The City Council approved both the annexation of a little more than 29 acres into the Park City limits and development plans at the site totaling 374,000 square feet. The acreage is situated at the southwest corner of the U.S. 40-S.R. 248 interchange east of Prospector.

Raleigh Studios, a Hollywood studio, will anchor the project...

...The development team told the elected officials during the meeting the project would be built much differently if the land remained outside the city limits. They said the buildings would take up more space because they would not be as tall, there would be more parking spots and the architecture of the project would not be as tightly regulated...

Great pics Projects, I really like the massing of that building. Do you know what the material finish will be, and if it will continue that vintage style first established? I continue to be impressed with that Birkhill @ Fireclay neighborhood. It's going to be one very cool TOD in a few years.

Crews are now placings walls on the 1st and 2nd levels of the Embassy Hotel in West Valley City. Crews are also getting ready to begin work on level six of this seven story hotel. Five out of Seven floors are built.

Plans unveiled for Salt Lake City’s new Glendale Library

Construction of the long-anticipated Glendale Library is set to begin in November with an opening date set for spring 2014.

[jedikermit]

Two weeks ago the new West Jordan Library opened--it's the new HQ of the Salt Lake County Library system, and they've built a community/event center into it as well.

Floor plans are here: http://www.viridiancenter.org/fd/index.htm

On that same page is a photo tour, which may be clickable here: http://www.viridiancenter.org/fd/pt/index.htm

West Jordan is building up an interesting civic core with their city hall and courts and park and TRAX Station and now this library; hopefully they can spur some more development in that area (Redwood Rd and 7800 South) in the next few years.

I've always thought moving the prison was a good idea. I hope it does get moved. I don't think a smaller footprint will be good enough as property values probably won't be too high next to a prison.

I agree it should be moved. Always hated that the prison is the first thing I would see when entering the Salt Lake Valley from I-15.

Looks like Draper is getting a RC Willey's largest store right next to Ikea...

[DCRes]

That area is truely becoming "Furniture Row". One of the comments under that article (i know, never read SL Trib comments) says that two of their west side stores will close when this store opens. I wonder if that is true.

[Bob The Builder]

I have hear that RC Willey's in closing down one or two stores in the to open this one. So they are replacing old buildings with one new one.
