More planning documents have been filed recently for Liberty Sky (aka Block 71 Condominiums). It looks like they may be getting close to being able to start filing for building permits. https://citizenportal.slcgov.com/Cit...howInspection=

Construction is still slated for Summer 2019. http://www.boyercompany.com/project/liberty-sky/

Any update pics on the Exchange site or how about Paper Box Lofts...movement on the site etc. Or what about any one of a couple dozen other major projects between the Airport and Sugar House or the Univ. of Utah that are under construction? A lot of which haven't been updated in weeks, even months. Not to mention the numbers of projects that don't get coverage throughout the Valley.

Regarding the Paperbox Project:

Salt Lake City’s newest project, the Paper Box Lofts, will include 195 apartments and an ‘automobile vending machine’

https://www.sltrib.com/news/2019/03/...-citys-newest/[/QUOTE]

Developers began Tuesday to convert an old mid-block industrial site in downtown Salt Lake City into a project known as Paper Box Lofts, which will have three residential high rises, retail spaces, a visually striking open plaza and a unique automated parking system.

Officials with Utah-based ClearWater Homes and PEG Development broke ground on the 1.99-acre property at about 340 West 200 South, just south of the Utah Jazz’s Vivint Smart Home Arena. When done, the project will include 195 apartments.

Under an agreement with the city’s Redevelopment Agency, which has helped subsidize the project, developers will keep 36 apartments affordable to residents making 60 percent of the area median income.

Sixty percent of the area median income would be $31,700 in annual earnings for an individual, $36,200 for a household of two people and $40,700 for a household of three, according to data from Salt lake City.

With its affordable housing, new parking, green space and midblock pedestrian walkways, Mayor Jackie Biskupski said Paper Box Lofts “will benefit our whole community.”

The project is also expected to extend the city’s downtown core further westward and improve pedestrian access from the traditional downtown to The Gateway. Salt Lake City-based ClearWater and PEG, based in Provo, said the first residences of Paper Box Lofts are expected to be completed by spring of 2021.

Officials with ClearWater and PEG praised the help provided by city officials and the RDA in overcoming challenges with the property’s long, rectangular shape in designing what ClearWater CEO Micah Peters called “a multifamily project we haven’t seen in this city before.”

Downtown’s latest housing project draws its name from Utah PaperBox, a privately owned packaging company founded in 1914 that occupied the site until it relocated in 2013 to new headquarters at 920 South 700 West.

The PaperBox property, which is adjacent to a light-rail station, runs the east-west length of that block and has frontage on both 300 West and 400 West, giving it the equivalent of “two front yards,” according to city documents.

One of those, the development’s east frontage on 300 West, will feature an open plaza with prominently displayed public art, serving “as a type of ‘calling card’ or ‘stamp’ for the entire project by providing an engaging and colorful mural” painted on the side of its main parking structure, city documents say.

ClearWater and PEG have contracted with VCBO Architecture in Salt Lake City for design of the PaperBox project. Rimrock Construction is the builder.

The project is a leap forward for the Depot District, a westside area spanning Salt Lake Central Station and land west of The Gateway and designated by the city as blighted and in need of redevelopment.

ClearWater and PEG say the Paper Box Lofts’ first building, on 300 West, will have 95 residential units, and the second, on 400 West, will have 85 units. The third, smaller structure will have four residences.

Nearly half those will be one bedrooms, with the rest studio and two-bedroom apartments. Up to 14 units in the larger buildings will provide both working and living space, known as live-work or flex apartments.

Paper Box Lofts will also boast roughly 146 parking stalls, with about 96 of stalls those built into a large, multi-level parking structure designed to automatically stack and retrieve cars dropped off by their drivers.

Peters likened the system to “an automobile vending machine” that will essentially stack cars seven levels high. This is thought to be the first time such an automated parking system, made by an Oakland company called CityLift, has been deployed in Salt Lake City.

Councilwoman Amy Folwer, who is also chair of the RDA board, called the new system “incredibly exciting” and said it could help the city meet a range of parking needs downtown.

ClearWater Homes has built several recent projects in the downtown area near the PaperBox site, including Broadway Lofts, just north of Pioneer Park, and Paragon Station, a 38-unit luxury condominium project just south of the Utah PaperBox site.

PEG Development is owner and developer of two new hotels, Hyatt House and Marriott Courtyard, north of the PaperBox parcel, as well as the Milagro Apartments, at the southwest corner of 200 West and 200 South.

You can really see the difference in mentality here. I think there is a focus on smart growth here, but there's a huge disparity between different groups of what smart growth is. You can develop suburbs in a way that doesn't recklessly eat away at land. It's laughable that even when Salt Lake Valley and northern Utah Valley are still decades away from being built out, the build out of a place like Cedar Valley, in some peoples' minds, is already a foregone conclusion.

Someone needs to get out and do an update on all those projects as those images are out of date. My wife and I went into Sugar House on Sunday to get a waffle from Bruges. As my wife was driving I noticed that the U of U medical building was pretty much finished and the second building's steel looked finished.

The Exchange: The pit is dug (digged?) and they're pouring concrete. Moving pretty fast on it.
Quattro is up to four floors and Liberty square is topped out and windows are going in.

The 4Forty7 Apartments are complete and now called Salt Flats Living. I believe people have started to move in.

Agree, especially now without the flow of constant updates from Isaac readily available on the forum.

As far as posting the actual photo, I don't have a problem with clicking a spoiler, if someone prefers displaying the photos they've taken with a spoiler that's great. Personally, I will always prefer to see the photo displayed if I'm posting it. I'm not sure why scrolling or speeds would be a problem with tech being what it is now. I've never had a problem, and L.A. isn't exactly known for it's internet speeds.

I disagree. I'm one who browses this forum looking for pictures and passing up much of the chit chat. It would be much harder to find pictures if they were hidden.

Salt Lake Valley isn't decades away from being built out. It'll be built out within 5-10 years (closer to 5 in my opinion). Once that happens, though, a lot of single family homes close in to the most dense areas will start being demolished and more dense housing built in its place.

I highly doubt that. Daybreak has been under construction for 15 years and still has another 5-10 years left, maybe more until the town center even begins construction. The Oquirrh Hills development alone (whatever it ends up being) will probably take at least 15 years for build out from the time development begins, which may be in 1-2 years. 5-10 years might be the case if everything is built like Herriman, which would eat land quickly, but signs point to more Daybreak-like developments. I think 20 years is the absolute soonest build-out happens.

Uhhh...Daybreak is 75% built out. The town center already exists.

Actually, the Village Center has been built, not the town center. If you look at the original plans for Daybreak:

(Above) Everything in purple and bright red to the southwest hasn't been built yet.
(Below) As you can see in the original plans, the area is supposed to be the most densely constructed part of the community, and act as a real city/town center.

...

First of all, plans change over 15 years. Second, an entirely new company owns Daybreak.
Before I commented previously, I visited the Daybreak website and their website describes the area with the UofU Clinic and the Rio Tinto offices as the Daybreak Town Center.

They're currently building in some of the purple and bright red areas. And quite a bit has been built west of what these maps show.
