Downtown Update - The Worthington Tower Timeline - Highlights, July 1, 2023 through January 26, 2024

Taylor Andersen Reporting - Full Article @
https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/sal...ne-on-the-way/

...The tower that will replace the existing Broadway Place will be 31 stories tall. It will bring 359 residential units to the area on 26 of the 31 stories, leaving 5,800 square feet of space for ground-floor retail and 359 parking stalls on four stories above ground...

...The Worthington Tower “builds on the vision of community leaders who developed the goals of programs like ‘Downtown Rising’ and is one step forward in ensuring Salt Lake City remains the primary cultural, financial, legal and government center of Utah,” Matt Lusty, a representative of the group, told Building Salt Lake on Wednesday.

It will continue two ongoing trends Downtown: new, skyline-altering skyscrapers, and an impending swell of people living in the city center...

The new tower on the northeast corner of 300 South 200 East will replace a

Here's the context of where it will be in the skyline.

Downtown East Update - Station 424 Apartments - Trolley Square District

Taylor Anderson Reporting - Full Article @ https://buildingsaltlake.com/latest-...idor-buildout/

A pair of developments seeks to continue the transformation of office buildings into housing near Trolley Square, while taking advantage of high-density zoning near the TRAX line on 400 South.

The latest proposal would replace a home goods store at 424 S. 700 E. with 249 residences in a six-story building known as a five-over-one, or apartments above primarily parking on the ground floor...

...Together with the proposed luxury student housing immediately to the south, the area north of Trolley Square could see the addition of nearly 500 more residences and more than 900 bedrooms once both projects are completed.

That’s in addition to hundreds of other residences that have been recently completed within a block in either direction of the site, and thousands more along 400 South...

State Capitol Campus Expansion - Latest Renderings & Construction Website Updates -

Ancillary offices and Museum to be added to the State Capitol Campus - Under Construction Photo Update Website Below

By: Ben WinslowPosted - Apr 11, 2022 - https://www.fox13now.com/news/local-...urity-upgrades

SALT LAKE CITY — Plans are moving forward to build a new state history museum and increase security on Capitol Hill.

The Capitol Preservation Board and architects are finishing designs for the new Museum of Utah, a multi-million dollar facility to replace the old State Office Building and data center that sit north of the Capitol building itself. Demolition will start this summer of 2022.

The design, which will closely mirror the existing Capitol, will also include an area for tour buses to come in and a large landscaped plaza for people to enjoy

A segment of the article:

QUOTE:
...The Utah Legislature is working to fund a new seismically sound five-story, 151,535 square-foot building just north of the Utah Capitol that would give Utah's historic artifacts collection the permanent home that state historians have requested. In addition to the museum, the building plan calls for a new conference center, office space, 400 parking stalls, and electric vehicle charging stations.

However, its most distinctive feature is the space set aside for a state history museum and history collection area, It's a building that will give Utahns a chance to see pieces of the state's past they may have never seen before. Jennifer Ortiz, the director of the Utah Division of State History, is excited about that prospect, calling Utah's history collection "truly incredible."

"It's such an incredible opportunity — a once-in-a-generation opportunity," she told KSL.com. "To get to participate in thinking about how we can highlight the state's history and the collections is really just a beautiful gift that we can give to the state and to Utahns."

The massive project will replace the aging and abandoned State Office Building that was constructed over 60 years ago. The old building is slated to be torn down in mid-August, according to Jim Russell, the director of the Utah Division of Facilities and Construction Management. Construction of the new building should begin in the fall.

The entire project is estimated to cost $219 million, with $110 million coming over from money saved from the construction of the new Utah State Prison, Russell said. Gov. Spencer Cox has requested that $85 million go toward the North Capitol project, with another $7 million in ongoing funds, according to his 2023 budget. As of Monday, SB6, the legislative bill that covers all sorts of infrastructure and general government spending, lists $68 million toward the project.

It's unclear whether the proposed funds in SB6 would complete the remaining cost of the project.

There are also economic variables that can change the total cost of the project.

"Of course, we are concerned with the continued escalation of the construction market due to labor and material shortages," Russell added, in an email to KSL.com.

Still, the new building is now projected to open in either late 2025 or early 2026 — about 12 to 18 months later than originally anticipated because of earthquake mitigation work that is expected to lengthen the project timeline, Ortiz said.

The delay, however, puts the building right on track to open just in time for a major nationwide celebration...

August 2022 - Demolition Process Begins

Interior work at the moment, they've taken out a few windows and a significant chunk of the eastern wall.

Thought I would share the latest on some of our work in Salt Lake City. This project we at Lake Union Partners call The Journeyman is located in the Granary District and is adjacent to our recently completed project Campus Salt Lake with EVO. The building will have 180 units of housing over commercial shops. Weathered steel siding with factory awning style windows nicely designed by MVE + Partners, Inc. + interiors by Vida Design Inc. Salt Lake is a great City and they have treated us well. So, I think we will keep doing business there.

Update, The IZZY North & IZZY South Project - The Sugar House District

Taylor Anderson Reporting @ BuildingSaltLake.com - https://buildingsaltlake.com/contemp...lectric-trend/

December, 2020...On 2100 South, near 600 East, a developer received approval for slightly more height (mainly for the building’s design) to replace two existing car-oriented businesses with mid-density housing...

...Given its proximity to the S-Line, as well as well-serviced bus and bike routes, is seeing added density west of 700 East and on both sides of 2100 South. The developer is also building Izzy North directly across from Izzy South on 2100 So. They’re providing 58 parking stalls for 71 housing units, more than 36-stall minimum for CB properties within a quarter-mile of transit.

The rendering shows people biking on the sidewalk, (which is an accurate depiction, as the city has resisted anything but a car-only 2100 South). The project would eliminate three of four existing curb cuts.

Izzy South at 534 E 2100 South, brought High Boy Ventures and ajc architects in front of the commission for the second time, responding to comments that their building materials were not differentiated enough at first submission. Their modifications were largely praised by commissioners, who also required the proposed EIFS finishes on the third-floor terraces be replaced by cement board, a more durable material.

The project sits on CB Community Business zoning, and needed to enter design review for three feet of increased height (to 33 ft) and a gross square footage greater than 15,000 sf.

The developers plan a mirror building directly across the street, on the north side of 2100 South.

May 20, 2022 - Construction Schedule Update For Izzy North and South


Updates as of May 20, 2022

- Project description: 2-70+ unit residential, townhomes and single floor, with small commercial component on west end, ground floor.
Project Location: 550 E./2100 S.

- Excavation work has been completed on both the north and south sites.

- Foundations are now formed on the north site. A permit is being issued to allow for the closure of the outside, WB lane on 2100 S., between 500/600 East, to accommodate utility installations for the Izzy North project. This closure has been briefly delayed, but will exist for approximately 5-6 weeks

- (Start-up is now estimated to be end of May/early June). The traffic shift will begin just west of the 700 East intersection, opening back up just before the 500 East intersection. Completion: Fall of ’23.

IZZY NORTH - June 1, 2022

Here is the almost complete parking structure on a multi family project we're doing with @newstargc on 2100 S in Salt Lake City called Izzy. This view is of the North side, a mirror development directly across the street has also been started. All together, there will be 213 units added to the "Sugarhood" as its called by locals.

Central City - More Micro Units Close to the 400 S Light Rail Corridor

Zeke Peters Reporting For BuildingSaltLake.com - Full Article @ https://buildingsaltlake.com/more-mi...idor-proposed/

As the 400 South Light Rail corridor continues to grow out to surrounding streets, the new proposal seeks to add more units to a corner parcel through micro units on Broadway. Located on the southeast corner of 600 E. and 300 S. in Central City, Bamboo Housing plans to remove two structures, remodel two others, and build a new multifamily building. The new structures would have 38 microunits at 400 square feet each, one one-bedroom unit, and a remodeled single-family home...

Bamboo LLC & Sixth East LLC - Architect: Thom Jakab Architecture + Design

...The 39-unit complex will only have 12 parking spaces, which is only allowed due to the closeness to the TRAX line and stations. A large indoor bike storage facility will be attached to the one-bedroom unit building.

This would be another microunit building close to the 400 S corridor, along with ones like AQUI and 343 on 400 East.

Salt Lake City International Airport - Timeline June 2023 Through January 2024

Originally Posted by Transit4Utah

According to my Delta Pilot friend who flies their a330's, Delta is planning on retraining pilots and basing several a350's in SLC (as there is no space in Seattle or Los Angeles) for western US originating transpacific flights. Once gate capacity increases in the next year or two, and as the remaining 20 or so aircraft are delivered.

Daily Korean service is confirmed for next summer, the only thing holding it back until this point is gate capacity and available aircraft. Adding additional Seattle frequency by restructuring aircraft usage is a stopgap measure to meet demand for the western US until space and aircraft become available at SLC. There is the potential to start service from SLC to Tokyo's Haneda Intl. as well if capacity/demand proves viable.

It sounds as though service to Lima or Santiago is more dependent on gate capacity at their airports, rather than SLC. Although, there is not enough widebody capacity at salt lake currently either. European frequency is pretty maxed out at this point with up to 4 daily flights next summer to Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Frankfurt.

Also expect daily service to resume/be added to most remaining small-midsize cities in the eastern US currently not served by SLC as gate capacity doubles in the next few years.

Delta is Opening a Second Sky Club® in Salt Lake City in 2025.

Anthony Losanno for the Bulkhead Seat - https://thebulkheadseat.com/delta-is...-city-in-2025/

Anthony’s Take: Salt Lake City has been a focus of much investment for Delta and it only makes sense to add a second Sky Club® as its operations continue to grow there.

The airport completed construction of the new 900,000-square-foot Concourse A in September 2020. Concourse A serves Delta exclusively with the carrier occupying all of the 22 gates that are scheduled to open by October 31st. Delta operated over 230 flights from Salt Lake City to around 90 global destinations this summer including added frequencies to Austin, Charlotte, Nashville, Philadelphia, and more. Concourse A has a Sky Club® currently and the new location will complement the gorgeous existing lounge.The new Sky Club® will be located in Concourse B and will provide travelers with access to a more convenient lounge near the B Gates. No word on the Sky Club’s® size or proposed amenities has been released.

The Salt Lake City Tribune reports that Delta employs more than 5,000 people at Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) and it signed a lease extension last year that guarantees it will maintain its hub there until at least 2044. Construction on Concourse B will be fully complete by 2027 and Delta will occupy more than one third of the concourse by that time.

A new housing project has been proposed for 355 S 400 E just behind the recently completed 'The Quattro' which was done by the same developer, dbURBAN (which is also behind the proposed CINQ and Regius Square projects). https://www.dburbancommunities.com/

The project will be 5 floors and is a 60-unit market-rate multifamily project on a 0.22-acre parcel of land. 17 parking stalls provided for 60 living units.

Full project description:

aQui355 is a 60-unit market-rate multifamily project on a 0.22-acre parcel that targets attainable, micro-based units. The Site is located at 355 South 400 East Salt Lake City, UT 84111 and is within the TSA overlay zone in the central east neighborhood. This project targets renters at the 80% AMI level.
The Central East neighborhood in Salt Lake City is defined by its proximity to both the University of Utah campus and the downtown CBD. Major grocers include Whole Foods, Traer Joes, Natures Grocery, Sprouts and Kroger in the immediate area. TRAX runs along 400 South and two station platforms are within ¾ of a mile from the site.
The unit mix of aQui355 is a combination of micro studios, 1BR and 2BR (i.e., roommate and urban dwelling solutions). The overall efficiency of the unit, coupled with great gathering space for social engagement, enables aQui355 to offer more than the standard “micro-units” in the market. High walkability of the neighborhood and mass transit facilitates a better urban living experience.

Key Facts:

Location: 355 S 400 E. Salt Lake City, UT
Site Area (Acreage): 0.22 ac
Unit Count: 60
Rentable SF / Per Unit: 23,216 / 387
Density (Units/Acre): 272.7
Parking Ratio (Bed / Unit): 1:0.50 / 1:0.23
Est. Construction Start: 3Q 2021
















The project will be replacing the Tiny one-story Upper Colorado River Commission building:

We designed a mixed-use project in the village center of Holladay, Utah that will house lower-level retail spaces and upper levels of high end 2- and 3-bedroom condominiums. The project contains a basement level for parking and a roof terrace for amenities. This project is currently under construction.

Address: 2250 E. Murray Holladay Road

The Basics: 3 floors. The Apollo Square Condos are a private enclave of 31 new luxury residences with a coveted location that is in the middle of the renovated Holladay City Village. Apollo Square has been thoughtfully designed down to the last detail in concept, design and lifestyle. Residences are single level living flooded with natural light and amazing views of Mt. Olympus and the Salt Lake Valley. Offering two and three bedroom condos with open spaces, private balconies, designer finishes, underground controlled access parking, and ample storage. When it's time to relax just go up to the rooftop patio and take in the amazing views of the entire valley while enjoying the fire pit, gazebo, BBQ, TV and lounge area. Also, Apollo Sq. is all about a very walkable location...restaurants, shopping grocery stores, post office, SOHO food trucks, and coffee shops are all just out your front door.

Salt Lake City's University Of Utah - The Carolyn And Kem Gardner Commons Structural Project

The historical Orson Spencer Hall opened in 1955 and housed the largest college at the University of Utah: the College of Social and Behavioral Science. The high-profile two-story building was the largest classroom building on campus at one time. However, it needed to be redeveloped to fit the needs of 21st-century learning and modern codes in the case of a seismic event. The five-story Gardner Commons is the University of Utah’s largest undergraduate academic building, with 35 classrooms, collaborative space, research space, and faculty offices. The commons is also home to the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences, 15 Departments and Institutes (including the Hinckley Institute of Politics), a consolidated center for Student Advising, the University Welcome Center, and a 150-seat Café/Study zone with four food venues and integrated study lounge seating. The Commons name is inspired by a higher mission to build a strong student community and increase student retention and graduation rates...216,800 SF

Renovation & Restoration - University of Utah School of Music - FFKR Architects

Pictured, Lower Univ. of Utah Campus with Eastern Salt Lake City and Wasatch Mountain Range as a backdrop



Gardner Hall

https://www.ffkr.com/work/school-of-music/ - David P. Gardner Hall was completed in 1933 as the original University of Utah student union building. In 1954 it became home to the University’s music department. By 1997 it had become apparent that the quality of the music department’s facilities had not kept pace with their growth in size and stature. FFKR Architects was retained to design a complete renovation of Gardner Hall, and a major addition, with the goal that the combined facilities would be a state of the art home for the University of Utah School of Music.

The renovation of Gardner Hall entailed a seismic upgrade to meet current codes, and replacement of all mechanical, electrical and vertical transportation systems. The building was gutted save for the most architecturally significant elements. The grand marble staircase was refurbished, and the original student union ballroom was carefully restored and repurposed as a chamber music hall.

The 700 seat Libby Gardner Concert Hall anchors the expansion. The new building also houses large choral and instrumental rehearsal rooms, multiple smaller rehearsal rooms, and a recording studio. The original and new buildings are connected by a four-story atrium.

Concert Hall Atrium Lobby
The existing and new buildings are separated by a light-filled atrium which creates an elegant entrance and lobby for performances in the new concert hall to the north.
To the south, music and activity from the newly christened Thompson Chamber Music Hall can spill into the atrium through restored balcony doors.

Thompson Chamber Music Hall -

The centerpiece of the renovation was the restoration of the original student union ballroom, which had fallen to extreme disrepair.
Walls and ceilings were carefully restored or recreated, and details such as light fixtures, carpet, and gold leaf finish were meticulously reproduced.

Dumke Recital Hall
The Dumke Recital Hall was built into the volume of an original classroom on the top floor of the original building. The Hall provides an intimate environment for soloists and small ensembles.



Libby Gardner Concert Hall

The concert hall was designed to provide an ideal acoustical environment for performances ranging from piano recitals to full orchestra with chorus. An adjustable absorptive wall on the sides and back of the hall can be incrementally deployed or retracted to change the reverberation time in the hall by up to 1.3 seconds to suit the performance.

Northern Metro Update - Groundbreaking of 'The Wonder Block Project' - Downtown Ogden - The Wonderblock Project

Like its Central and Southern CSA neighbors, Ogden is situated beneath the beauty of the Wasatch Front. Pictured, Ben Lomond Peak

Unprecedented growth along Utah’s Wasatch Front in recent years has positioned the Historically Iconic Railroad City of Ogden to take full advantage of exciting opportunities to redevelop itself to meet the community’s evolving needs. Situated between the breathtaking northern Wasatch Range and Great Salt Lake, Ogden is a popular destination for hikers, skiers, mountain bikers, adventure seekers, and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. It’s an increasingly desirable place to visit, live, work, and play year-round.

https://www.ogdencity.com/2421/WonderBlock-Development

When Ogden began seeking a more intentional and responsive plan for its ongoing growth, city leadership engaged the expertise of Design Workshop to develop and implement a new Downtown Master Plan that would build upon previous planning visions by embracing the city’s historic charm and assets while methodically addressing opportunities for sustainable improvement.

Just south of Historic 25th Street in the heart of the city is the former site of a once-sprawling Wonder Bread factory that has since been leveled to make room for future development. Immediately this site attracted the interest of local developers and city leaders alike because of its location, scale, and glaring potential. With the new Downtown Master Plan in effect, the developers and city sought the expertise of SAR+ to design an urban mixed-use destination for 354+ new residential units, 6 stories of offices, as well as street-level space for restaurants, retail, and groceries--all centered around a pedestrian-oriented urban alleyway concept extending off the already bustling 25th Street. The site development aims to serve and integrate itself with the existing fabric of Downtown Ogden.

Ground broken on WonderBlock development in downtown Ogden

Rob Nielsen Reporting for The Standard- Examiner - Full Article @ https://www.standard.net/news/local/...owntown-ogden/


Rob Nielsen, Standard-Examiner - Officials break ground on the long-planned WonderBlock project in downtown Ogden on Friday, Feb. 9, 2024.

Rob Nielson Reporting: ...At a short ceremony Friday afternoon, officials from Ogden City and J. Fisher Cos. broke ground on the mixed-use development.

As reported by the Standard-Examiner last November, the proposed cluster of four- and five-story WonderBlock buildings would contain 354 market-rate apartments, 100,000 square feet of office space, 50,000 square feet of retail space, a grocery store, and a boutique hotel.

Owen Fisher, co-founder and CEO of J. Fisher Cos., said Friday was an exciting time for the community and all those involved in the project...

...“We firmly believe the economic impact of Wonder Block will be felt for generations,” he said. “As you see this project come to life, you’re going to be amazed at how beautiful it is. I know the renderings look great, but when you see it in person, it’s going to be one of those projects that’s just going to stand the test of time.”

Following Friday’s ceremony, Loomis told the Standard-Examiner the public should start to see buildings rising from the site in the next six months.

“The total build time is about four years,” he said, adding that it’s an exciting time to get under way with the project.

“It’s been a lot of work for a lot of people,” he said. “Huge collaborative effort with Ogden City and the partnership with J. Fisher Cos. We’re excited to be working with them and excited to finally see it come out of the ground.”

Ogden Mayor Ben Nadolski also spoke Friday, saying that this project is rising out of special ground.

“We stand here in a place, and at a time, to celebrate the WonderBlock,” he said. “That’s a name that’s rooted in our past. And if you spent a lot of the past here, you can almost smell the bread in the air. This is a place of experience. It’s a place of remembrance. It’s a place that we believe in and that we invest in. That’s exactly what this project is — it’s an investment in us, an investment in now and an investment in tomorrow. Our city’s rich and colorful past has set the stage for this project and it’s that same colorful past and Ogden spirit that’s going to set the stage for our future right here.”

The ceremony concluded with the groundbreaking conducted by city officials and developers alike.

Demolition of the old Harris Fine Arts Building in order to make way for the new Fine Arts Center is well underway. The new arts building will house offices for the college — as well as for the departments of art, design, and theater and media arts, according to a BYU news release.

The building will also host academic spaces, galleries, performance spaces, media viewing rooms, a cinema and a production studio. The other current occupant of the HFAC — the School of Music — has moved to the new music building.

“The arts and music programs are beacons of excellence for the university,” said Shane Reese, BYU academic vice president, in the release. “We look forward to these two new beautiful buildings, which will accentuate the amazing talents of our students, faculty and staff who work in that college.”

The arts building will house a large collaborative hub for department of design students as well as multiple art and design galleries. There will also be a combination lobby and student gathering space.

A six-station lactation room will accommodate students and their families as well as patrons.

“The new building will create proximity and more opportunities for collaboration and student mentoring,” said Ed Adams, dean of the College of Fine Arts and Communications. “Our faculty and staff are now spread over five floors and are located at the far ends of the Harris Fine Arts Center from each other.”

The project is expected to be completed toward the end of 2025.

Big D Construction has been selected as the general contractor for the project, with HKS Architects as the architecture firm.

The college will temporarily occupy the former Provo High School, located on University Avenue, while the new arts building is being constructed.

The HFAC was dedicated in 1965 and houses four of the college’s six academic units. The newly completed School of Music, which also used the building has moved into the new music building upon its completion at the end of 2022.

September 25, 2023

https://universe.byu.edu/2023/09/25/...-in-the-works/ - BYU’s new Arts Building for the College of Fine Arts and Communications is progressing steadily toward its expected completion at the end of fall 2025, according to Todd Hollingshead, BYU’s Media Relations Manager.

At the beginning of 2023, the Harris Fine Arts Center was demolished to make room for the new Arts Building, being built in the exact same location.

Hollingshead said the building is currently in the structural concrete phase and that the work is progressing in a general west-to-east direction. The underground utility work, including the main electrical pathways and water and sewer mains, have been placed, he said...

...The current building plans released by BYU in June 2023 show that BYU announced plans to build academic spaces, galleries, performance spaces, media viewing rooms and a cinema and production studio. The new building will also feature a collaborative hub for design students...

Central Metro East - Canyons Village Workforce Housing Clears Last Major Hurdle. - Park City

Alexander Cramer for the Park Record - A major workforce housing project in Canyons Village is going to be a reality after a governmental approval Jan. 31, the last significant... was signed between the county and the area’s management.

The Canyons Village Management Association plans to build housing for 1,153 workers in 169 units over 7.5 acres of county-owned land where Lower Village Road intersects White Pine Canyon Road, just west of S.R. 224 near the main entrance to Canyons Village.

The developer said the aim is to start building as soon as possible after the snow melts and anticipates a 24- to 26-month construction window that would mean workers could move in during the summer of 2022. The construction is required to be completed by the end of 2023.

County Council Chair Doug Clyde said the deal is “very significant” and that it is consistent with the county’s goals regarding workforce housing and traffic reduction due to its proximity to major transit.

Developer Tony Tyler, a partner at Columbus Pacific, called it a “game- changer” for the area and said it wouldn’t have been possible without using county-owned land...

The new employee housing at Canyons Village would house 1,153 employees in seven buildings and could open in the summer of 2022.

...Within walking distance of the Cabriolet lift at Canyons Village — ski-boot walking distance, even — officials held a groundbreaking ceremony for an employee housing complex that will be home to more than 1,150 lifites, hotel workers or waiters in coming years.

Officials from Summit County and the Canyons Village Master Association, which directs the base area’s development, touted the project as a unique example of a public-private partnership that they say will make meaningful progress in two issues affecting Summit County: an affordable housing shortage and traffic-clogged roads.

Plans call for 169 units and 789 bedrooms spread across seven buildings to house 1,150 or more employees. The buildings will be located about 1,000 feet south of the Cabriolet lift and the Canyons Village transit center, and the first building might be completed by next June...

Information on eligibility requirements, pricing and more will be available in spring of 2022. Please contact CVMA for questions at 435.655.2580 or at https://cvma.com/contact-us/.

KPCW | By Parker Malatesta - Full Article @ https://www.kpcw.org/park-city/2022-...rdable-housing

This week, Summit County hospitality workers will begin moving into the new affordable housing project in Canyons Village, dubbed Slopeside Village.

The project’s first building received its certificate of occupancy from the county Tuesday. With the building now able to officially open, 240 workers are scheduled to move in this week.

Each floor of the building that opened Wednesday has four sections configured like fancy dorms, with single or double occupancy rooms, four bathrooms and a large shared kitchen and living room.

The main areas have a contemporary look with white walls, dark wood laminate floors and black appliances. Each unit is furnished and can house 12 people. The building also has a large social area on the ground floor and a property manager on site...

Toria Barnhart - For the Park Record - Full Article @ https://www.parkrecord.com/news/empl...n-this-summer/
A small skyline that has sprouted along S.R. 224 housed hundreds of people working for the Park City area’s top employers last ski season, and it could accommodate hundreds more when the first phase of the project is fully rolled out later this summer.

Summit County officials toured the new Slopeside Village employee housing complex near the Cabriolet lift at Canyons Village on Thursday as Columbus Pacific Development prepares to wrap up construction efforts about two years after the groundbreaking for the apartments.

The private-public partnership between the county and the Canyons Village Master Association, which directs base area development, as well as large employers such as Park City Mountain, has been lauded as a unique way to tackle dynamic issues – like the dwindling housing supply and increasingly crowded roads – that are affecting the community.

County Courthouse staffers, members of the Summit County Council and resort officials last week briefly experienced what it might be like to live in one of 169 units that will be spread out across seven buildings on the site. The tour through the already completed A, B and H buildings showcased various apartment styles, which range from 10-bedroom co-living to 2-, 3-, and 4-bedroom options...

Miller Company to invest at least $3.5B in MLB Project on Salt Lake City’s west side

Big League Utah, a broad-based community coalition, believes Utah is the “Future of America’s Pastime.” Like baseball’s brightest stars, Utah is a 5-tool player for its growth, economy, location, sports culture, and quality of life. The coalition has targeted a shovel-ready site for a new MLB ballpark at the 100-acre Rocky Mountain Power District in Salt Lake City.

The Larry H. Miller Company and Miller family unveiled renderings for the Power District, a nearly 100-acre site adjacent to the Utah State Fairpark and the Jordan River, Feb. 15, 2024. Here is an aerial view of the Power District looking east. Courtesy of Larry H. Miller Company

Dennis Romboy For The Deseret News - The Larry H. Miller Company intends to put at least $3.5 billion into a mixed-use development on Salt Lake City’s long-overlooked west side, including a potential Major League Baseball stadium.

The company and the Miller family unveiled renderings and videos Thursday for what they say will be a transformational investment and catalytic project for the city. State and local leaders, including the governor, support the plan.

The Power District development includes the Utah State Fairpark and improvements to the Jordan River. The LHM Company is working with the Fairpark board, Salt Lake City, the Jordan River Commission and the state to incorporate various community master and land-use plans into the project...
