Downtown Update - Granary District - Evo Campus

Got to tour the EVO Project last week. It's almost done and JUST WOW. Major game changer in SLC and a critical link up in the Granary. It's a really a special project: indoor skate park, Level 9 is back in their pace and it's spectacular, EVO flagship store that will make REI look stupid, MASSIVE climbing gym and best of all? A 50-60 key boutique hotel (see above) linking it all together! Got to walk about 40 of the rooms and it is easily the coolest hotel I've ever seen for outdoor minded folks. WILD stuff. Hugely stoked on this project. Also walked the former Rico Tacos warehouse complex, which really reminds me of a smaller version of the "Source" in RiNo. Food hall, front facing bars on 700 S., big tech office attached. Well done. Also, 6 more acres just traded hands on one of the most critical blocks. Granary District is popping!

Seattle-based outdoor and action sports retailer evo, in partnership with Lake Union Partners, has announced its most ambitious project to date, Campus SLC, a collection of complementary businesses designed to drive community around
a shared passion for outdoor culture.

Campus SLC will be located in the Granary neighborhood of Salt Lake City, Utah, an up-and-coming district a few blocks south of downtown. The 100,000 square foot brick, timber and concrete block building will include an evo retail store,
local retailer L9 Sports, hotel, restaurants, an art gallery, creative work space, All Together Skatepark, and additional recreation to be announced soon.

“Our vision is to create a place for the community, bringing ethos-driven businesses together along with customers that share our passion for the outdoors and all of the cultural elements that surround the lifestyle,” said Bryce Phillips,
Founder and CEO of evo. “It’s the sum of its parts that’s so exciting—a seamless experience, celebrating the intersection of our shared love of the outdoors and urban environment.”

The buildings, the oldest of which was the original warehouse built in the early 1890's, will be designed by Lloyd Architects, a local Salt Lake firm known for their beautiful spaces including Campos and Publik. “We’re dedicated to customer experience, which makes them the perfect partner. They understand how design can help blend sport, culture, art, and service,” said Tommy Trause, Director of Hospitality and Ecosystem, who’s heading up the project. “We believe in retaining
the integrity of these historic buildings, which have such soul and history. They just don’t make them like that anymore.”

The new evo retail store and All Together Skatepark will feature indoor/outdoor integration and will offer the same programs as other evo locations—a robust demo and service offering, ski, snowboard, skate, wake and mountain bike retail,
an art gallery, and a music and movie venue.

The move into Salt Lake City is lead by evo’s signature focus on investment in the local community. Existing tenant L9 Sports has been in close collaboration with evo on this project and will remain an integral member of the campus,
complementing evo’s flagship location next door. evo is also thrilled to sponsor the Salt Lake City SheJumps chapter’s Wild Skills program, which provides culturally competent adventures and curriculum to traditionally underserved youth
in the outdoors. In addition, evo’s content partner is local adventure photographer Adam Clark.

The campus news comes on the heels of evo’s move into Canada with the acquisition of five retail stores in Whistler and evo’s headquarters move in the Fremont neighborhood of Seattle.

“We’ve been able to grow and thrive as a result of our focus on community in a way that’s authentic to our customers,”
Phillips said. “We’re thrilled and humbled to be a part of this project in Salt Lake City and can’t wait to see it come to life.”

Clearwater Homes of Utah and Watt Investment Partners of Santa Monica, CA, will start construction 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 “pays 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 West Quarter, Phase I Construction Timeline


By Tony Semerad, The Salt Lake Tribunehttps://www.sltrib.com/news/2019/12/...city-approves/

Salt Lake City has approved a way to pump $15 million into building a huge subterranean parking garage for Block 67, an upcoming ambitious residential and hotel project on the western edge of the city’s downtown.

The agreement, backed Tuesday by the City Council in its role overseeing the city’s Redevelopment Agency (RDA), clears a major hurdle for what is to be known as The West Quarter, a 6.45-acre development bounded by
100 South and 200 South from 200 West to 300 West.

Phase I, The West Quarter

(Rendering by The Ritchie Group) A rendering of The Ritchie Group's Phase I Block 67 development in Salt Lake City, as though looking Southeast along 300 West.

http://www.jacobsenconstruction.com/...1-1370x580.jpg

Developers with Salt Lake City-based The Ritchie Group and Garn Development Co. in Layton plan to build more than 650 dwellings, two hotels, an office tower, retail shops, a tree-lined street cut through the block and an underground
parking garage with more than 1,200 stalls.


With its four towers and extensive amenities, to be built in two phases, The West Quarter project will push the center of the city’s urban core west, with more robust pedestrian connections between the existing downtown and The Gateway and
Vivint Smart Home Arena farther west.

“It really is a good project,” Councilman Charlie Luke said Tuesday. “It really is going to do a lot for the city and especially for that part of the city in terms of redevelopment."...

...Ryan Ritchie, a principal in The Ritchie Group, has said the underground parking garage is integral to the project’s overall financial success...The loan agreement sets up a legal mechanism for the city to give the developers the $15 million in
money for the parking garage, then lets the developers pay it back over time as their project generates additional tax money. Salt Lake City’s RDA will, in turn, pass those payments back to the county...

Jacobsen is partnering with The Ritchie Group and Garn Development to build Phase I of The Block 67 Project. The West Quarter, a multi-use development that will help define the emerging sports and entertainment district in downtown Salt Lake City.
The project — adjacent to Vivint Smart Home Arena — will feature more than 650 residential units, a mid-block street with access to 200 South and 300 West, and a subterranean parking garage. The scope of work also includes more than
100,000 square feet of retail space, 430,000 square feet of office space and a 271-room hotel.

My wife did point out to me today as we drove around downtown that there are many work trucks from out of state license plats at the various projects. I thought that this was nice in that we are pulling workers from other states for our projects.

Updated Design of Hotel Portion of Phase I

Originally Posted by Atlas

The next planning commission meeting will discuss proposed changes to the West Quarter development. Most of it seems to be related to the appearance of the hotel portion of the project. Details and renderings (more in the document linked above):

The West Quarter project challenges the typical 10‐acre Salt Lake City block by proposing a development centered around a new through mid‐block street, resting on a below grade parking garage. The midblock
street will break down the large block scale and provide a pedestrian connection between the Downtown on 200 South and Gateway District on 300 West. The mid‐block street will be lined with retail on both sides creating an active urban environment that is focused more on pedestrian activity
while reducing vehicular traffic.

Due to the large size of our city blocks, the existing grade of our streets and sidewalks changes deceivingly across the block frontage as well as from one block to another. The existing grade along 300 West block changes by approximately 10’‐0”, approximately half of which takes place across the project frontage. Similarly, the grade continues to change along 200 South block frontage and 200 West creating three different elevations that the mid‐street and the service alley will connect and reconcile. From that perspective the project needed to prioritize the grade elevations and their transition to maximize accessibility and street activation without making modifications to the existing streets.

300 West is a State road operated by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and is subject to UDOT regulations. The existing street elevation along 300 West (between the new mid‐block street and entrance to the hotel port cochere) varies between 4272.96 at the south end and 4276.30 at the north end. The hotel ground level elevation has been set at 4278 to maximize accessibility and engagement with the new mid‐block street. The grade changes and complex relationship between the existing and new mid‐block street required the design of the 300 West frontage to be reevaluated subsequently to the Planning Commission approval.

And it turns out SLC will have at least one rooftop dining and drinking experience soon! I still hope to see something higher and closer to Main Street eventually. This one seems to have a mostly northwestern-facing orientation too, so the views of downtown and the Wasatch won't be dominant.

The current design maintains a rooftop bar along 300 West that will contribute to street and skyline activation in accordance with the city design standards and approved design. The refined building massing creates a distinct rooftop element articulated with recessed glazing, expressed columns and a continuous architectural roofline. The roofline terminates at the northwest corner of the building with a long and dramatic cantilever that, along with the glass volume below, announces the entrance to the
development. The distinct roofline will be illuminated with continuous, linear fixtures to maintain its presence and distinct expression on the night skyline while the wood clad soffit will diffuse the lighting
and create a floating effect.

In addition to the rooftop bar, that will activate the northwest corner and create a strong connection with the Vivint Smart Home Arena, the current design will provide street and skyline activation at the opposite southeast corner of the hotel. An outdoor pool deck, with views of the downtown skyline and mountains, will create additional active uses along the future extension of the mid‐block street. In addition to enhancing and connecting the second project phase, the pool deck will be visible and create a strong connection with 200 South.

The West Quarter - Phase II Takes On New and Exciting Design Upgrades

Originally Posted by Makid

From the original plan, I think they were looking to have RWP clearing out in early 2022. With it happening around May 2021, this could mean that the overall timing has sped up.

I do think it would be nice to have 3+ major projects undergoing excavation at the same time. It is this that probably lead to the speed up of Phase 2. This will allow the current workers to shift from Phase 1 to Phase 2.

I do wonder how many towers we will see continue above the Phase 2 podium. Will we see all 3 towers, just the Residential and Hotel, or just the Residential. Pre-Covid, the plan was for the Residential and the Hotel to go up immediately and the Commercial tower to be added once demand was there. Does anyone know if this is still the plan or if we may see all 3 towers rise simultaneously?

It's really going to be a nice urban gateway to the Vivint Arena when it's done, not to mention it may have a massive impact on the skyline. Right now, SLC doesn't have any towers that are more than a block or so from Main Street...

New renderings for West Quarter’s Phase 2 show impressive architectural and mixed-use ambition - Luke Garrott Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/new...-use-ambition/

Luke Garrott - One of the worst holes in Downtown’s urban fabric will be getting filled by the second phase of the West Quarter project, whose Phase 1, along with the Salt Palace convention center hotel a block away, is sprouting a downtown skyline west of Main Street.

New renderings of the structures are out, and they are dramatic.

The 4.36 acres of Phase 2 of the West Quarter will front on 200 South, currently a dead zone of surface parking for the Royal Wood office complex at 230 West 200 South.

The project will offer 846 new residential dwellings in three buildings, the tallest of which will be 28 stories.

It also includes a 16-story office building (408,000 sf), as well as over 50,000 sf of ground-floor retail space. A 161-room hotel will be included in the 14-story residential building.

Parking will be provided in two structures, totaling 1535 stalls...Here are the new images, courtesy of Legend Partners, the project’s leasing agent.

Northern Metro, More Residential For Historic 25th Street - Ogden

This image shows a rendering of the five-story building taking shape at 144 25th St. in Ogden. Springville-based Summa Terra Ventures is the developer.


Pictured, Historic 25th Street

Standard Examiner https://www.standard.net/news/local/...ment-building/

OGDEN — Dirt is moving ahead of construction of a new five-story apartment building in a vacant lot along Historic 25th Street that’ll bring new tenants to the busy commercial corridor.

“Downtown living at its best,” said Mike Watson, the Summa Terra chief executive officer.

The building will contain 55 apartments, he said... It’s taking shape at 144 25th St., a long-vacant lot on the north side of 25th Street between Wall and Lincoln avenues. A hotel, demolished in 1996, and a restaurant, torn down in 2008, previously occupied the land.

There are a few scattered apartments along Historic 25th Street, according to Amber Corbridge, a planner for the City of Ogden. But the Summa Terra project represents a deeper foray into introduction of housing on the street.

The structure, a project of Springville-based Summa Terra Ventures, represents... bringing housing to Ogden’s downtown core.
Excavation on the lot started earlier this month and the project is expected to take 11 months to a year to complete, putting the tentative completion date at the end of 2022. The property is fenced off and heavy equipment sits in the lot as work edges forward.

Though apartments will fill most of the building — 13 studios, 19 one-bedroom units and 23 two-bedroom units — the ground-floor portion of the structure fronting 25th Street will be reserved for commercial use. Watson envisions young professionals, single professionals, and perhaps young families moving into the apartments.

“It’s a for-market product,” he said...

Southern Metro - Update, Utah Valley University School of Business - Under Construction

UVU breaks ground on the future home of Woodbury School of Business

A backhoe and an earthmover are ready to turn ground for the new Scott C. Keller Building at Utah Valley University... The $75 million, 180,000-square-foot building will be the new home of the Woodbury School of Business. UVU

The $75 million, 180,000-square-foot building will house 30 classrooms and 205 offices as well as the Bloomberg Lab, Entrepreneurship Institute, Money Management Resource Center, SmartLab and grand auditorium for large lecture
audiences and special events. Construction is estimated to be completed by late fall 2021 or early 2022.

The building will feature a Student Success Center on its second floor, which will combine placement, tutoring, internships and advisement services in one accessible location.

Classrooms will be outfitted with lecture-capture technology to help students learn remotely. The building will be constructed on the south end of UVU’s Orem campus...The new building is expected to serve up to 12,000 business students
at a time.

According to Utah State Board of Regents documents, the business school has outgrown its current home, which was one of the four original Utah Technical College buildings built in 1979.

“While the 78,000-square-foot facility has been well-maintained over the years, it cannot accommodate the renovations desired to train future business leaders. The masonry building has a post-tensioned cable floor system that cannot
be penetrated to run cables or make infrastructure upgrades,” the document states...

Downtown Update, Sears Block Redevelopment

Taylor Anderson Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/int...e-sears-block/


Intermountain Healthcare has purchased the Sears Block - LDS Hospital in The Avenues District to be redeveloped?


December 17th

Intermountain Healthcare has purchased about eight acres of land in the center of Salt Lake City.

At 745 S State, the land had been home to the Sears department store, which closed several years ago before it was sold to a developer who had been working on building mixed-use housing in what would have been an extension of the city’s urban core south of Downtown...

...On Friday, a hospital administrator announced Intermountain had purchased the block.

“Intermountain Healthcare has acquired property in downtown Salt Lake City for future use to enhance healthcare services available to area residents,” wrote Heather Wall, Intermountain Hospital Administrator, according to an email shared with Building Salt Lake Friday.

“Plans are still being developed,” Wall continued, “I look forward to sharing details with you as soon as they are developed.” ...

...The site would put any future medical center or hospital near the city’s TRAX light rail line on Main Street and a high-frequency bus route on State...

...While Intermountain Media Relations is holding their cards closely, there is likely to be a major impact for their LDS Hospital Center in the Avenues. Intermountain owns six blocks at C Street and 8th Avenue, including medical buildings and single-family homes. The blocks are zoned a combination of institutional and single-family zoning...

Immediately adjacent to and north of Downtown, The LDS Medical Center sits at the heart of one of the Salt Lake Valleys' premiere neighborhood districts.
Rumors have long circulated that IHC would seek a more central downtown location and redevelop the current medical center property into upscale prime residential.

...“The development of this Medical Education Research Campus will have a profound and positive economic impact on Utah County and the entire state and region,” said Dr. Richard P. Nielsen, founding president/CEO of both the proposed Noorda-COM and RMUoHP. “We are honored to be the first recipients of this funding in the State of Utah and believe it is a testament to our past success and our future promise to all Utahns.”

Upon completion, the development is planned to contain 400,000 square feet of medical education and research space including the proposed Noorda-COM and the affiliated campus of RMUoHP, a combined Noorda-COM and RMUoHP student union, and surgical/research space; 685,000 square feet of multi-family housing consisting of 685 units; and 234,000 square feet of parking structures consisting of 780 stalls.

Noorda-COM (proposed) has been approved to now accept medical student applications for its inaugural class to begin in August 2021. “This bond issuance and our ability to create infrastructure on the campus is important to recruiting students and building awareness with the communities of Utah,” said Dr. John Dougherty, founding dean of Noorda-COM (proposed). “The medical school’s goal is to attract the highest caliber students, including those local students who want to stay in Utah for their medical education.”...https://wasatcheducational.com/tag/n...thic-medicine/

Southern Metro - Update, Construction Orem L.D.S. Temple

...The L.D.S. Church’s news release said the Orem temple will be located on a 16-acre site. The site is part of 250 acres Orem annexed from Utah County about five years ago, Brunst said. The mayor said the site is bordered by condos on the north, undeveloped land on the south, railroad tracks on the east, and one of Orem’s last dairy farms across Geneva Road to the west. The church’s plans call for a three-story temple of 70,000 square feet. It also plans to construct a 20,000-square-foot meetinghouse on the site...

The Orem Utah Temple will be built half a mile south of I-15’s University Parkway exit near the nexus of major population,
commercial and industrial growth in Provo, Orem and Vineyard. The address — 1471 S. Geneva Road — is west across the freeway from the Utah Valley University

Taylor Anderson Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/ken...per-this-june/

COVID-19 hasn’t stalled what is set to become the tallest addition to Salt Lake City’s expanding skyline...

...The construction will bring what has been billed as the state’s tallest tower, adding hundreds of high-end luxury rental apartments in the Downtown core.

“HKS recently completed design development drawings and have begun work on the construction drawings,” said Steve Brown, a representative for Kensington’s Boston-based developers.

At approx. 448 feet, the Astra Tower would inject 380 units into the core of Downtown, across from the Gallivan Center. It is one of over a dozen new high-rise projects in various stages of the pipeline and or construction for Downtown.

This is the shoring work that is going in prior to the excavation. The piers will happen when the excavation for the mat footing is complete.

I'm guessing March or April.

By the way, concrete is being poured at the site today.

Downtown Update - Luke Garrott Reports - Silos On 5th Project

For the more detailed article on this project go to - https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/650...new-rda-loans/

It’s also gonna be really important cause the 500 to 600 South blocks act as the entry and exit for many people into and out of the city because of the freeway, so it sets our first and last impressions. Which is why it would be sooooo nice to get rid of all those hideous billboards along there.

Update, Eastern Metro - The Recently Completed Sky Lodge AT Auberge Blue Sky Resort - Park City/Wanship



DESIGN THAT MIRRORS THE MAJESTY OF THE LAND

Just outside Park City, Utah, The Lodge at Blue Sky, Auberge Resorts Collection blends modern luxury and rustic aesthetics for an exceptional Western escape.

Blue Sky was designed with deep reverence for nature’s beauty and its unique setting on 3,500 acres of lush, untamed landscape.

This sprawling 3,500-acre ranch offers three distinct accommodation types: suites with dramatic views of the Wasatch Mountains, rooms built into a lush hillside, and free-standing cabins next to a rushing creek. Each is designed with inviting earth-toned décor inspired by, and sometimes sourced from, the surrounding natural environment.

If you can tear yourself away from those vistas, you can partake in year-round, expertly guided adventures, including horseback riding, outdoor yoga, heliskiing, fly fishing, hiking, mountain biking, clay target shooting, and alfresco art classes.

At the end of the day, wind down with a restorative treatment in the 7,400-square-foot Edge Spa or take a relaxing dip in the infinity pool overlooking the mountains.

Those temples look great. It's tough to tell by the photos, but are the panels on the Saratoga Springs Temple also stone, or are they pre-cast concrete?

^^^
Typically all of the Temples of the modern era are stone of which I think all are Granite quarried from around the world. The designs in the U.S. recently have gravitated toward either a very strong sense of history or a definite nod to Art Deco. In foreign lands, the designs will often be reflective of the local historic architecture.
