After seeing those massings from Orlando I really hope we end up with a 488' tower! Would look amazing!

I would love to see Astra at that height. It would finely break through our "flat topped" skyline that others have complained about.

Nice work! I will have to respectfully disagree about it being too tall however. Imo this height is exactly what SLC needs and would set the stage nicely for future even taller projects. Like many I'm just hoping 488' is legit.

Yeah these imagebb links are unreliable. I can't see Orlando's images on my phone with any browser but I do see them on my PC. EDIT: now I see them on my phone too. Best guess is that there's some period of time before the images are fully processed/published by imagebb at some level. IMO, Imgur is better.

Now that I see the images, I think the 488 ft Astra looks awesome. It would really be the center of gravity of our skyline at that height. The State Street urban canyon view is nuts. Convexity/Worthington will be a nice addition too.

Also, the theatre tower looks a little too short in your massing, Orlando. Roofline will be 392 ft.

Salt Lake City CSA is the "least affordable". Check it out.

Not so many years ago Salt Lake City CSA was very affordable.

Ranking these cities side by side using this methodology is woefully misleading. It isn’t comparing cities with each other in terms of affordability but comparing individual cities to themselves in the past. All this is saying is salt lake is less affordable compared to almost any time in its history and that’s why it ranks near the top. Salt Lake is obviously more affordable than San Francisco and New York.

I'm still leaning on the side of 488 ft being a typo, but I sure would love to be wrong! Wouldn't they have to go back to the planning commission to get another increase in height? It doesn't say anything about that being part of the new review.

Thanks Orlando

I see the images now Orlando. Thanks for working that visual up. Again, I think the skeptics are right and the 488ft was an error for the Astra height. We can hope though. If we can get the building at 448ft even with cost increases and delays and lawsuits swirling around this project, that would be a big win in itself.

It seams the rumor mill has died down a little bit. Has anyone else heard any rumblings lately?

The last photo is Village at North Station. The middle image is Power Station TOD and I think the top image is Spark but I'm not sure. It is directly across the street from Power Station TOD on the same side of North Temple.

27 North Chicago Street & 41 North Chicago Street - Transit Station Development

27 North Chicago Street:
https://citizenportal.slcgov.com/Citizen...75&agencyCode=SLCREF&IsToShowInspection=

41 North Chicago Street:
https://citizenportal.slcgov.com/Citizen...76&agencyCode=SLCREF&IsToShowInspection=

From what I can tell, two identical projects have filed Transit Station Development documents for Chicago Street.

The Basics: each project will be 6 floors, 59 feet tall, have 54 residential units, and 15 parking spots (including 4 electric).
Architect: di’velept design

Project Summary (from developer)
41 [& 27] North Chicago Street is a proposed 54 unit apartment project located near the Utah State Fairpark. It will be one building on a single parcel that equals 0.18 acres. The building will have Studios, 1 Bedroom, and 2 Bedroom units.This project will be replacing an existing single family detached home.


East (Street) Elevation


West (Alley) Elevation


South Elevation


North Elevation


Site Plan


Vicinity Map (I added the two blue boxes to show the location of both projects)

Vicinity Map (original) - both filings had the same map, only showing the location of 41 North Chicago Street:

Personally, I think it's a little odd to build two identical 6-floor buildings and then have two single-family houses smooshed between them.

Sugar Town - Project Update - Design Review

http://www.slcdocs.com/Planning/Planning%20Commission/2021/10.%20October/00025StaffReport.pdf

Address: 850 & 870 E. 2100 South

Project Basics: 5 floors. 59 feet tall. 319 residential units (39 micro units and 53 rent restricted units). 393 parking stalls. 58,000 sq. ft. of gathering space. 12,800 sq. ft. of commercial/retail, including a new State Liquor Store. Two mid-block accesses.

Project Description (from Staff Report):
Mark Isaac, representing Sugarhouse Village, LLC, and General Business Machines, LLC, submitted an application for Design Review for a proposed mixed-use (residential and commercial) development on the subject property. The purpose of “Design Review” is to ensure high quality outcomes for larger developments that have a significant impact on the City. The intent of the process to review larger developments is to verify new developments are compatible with their surroundings, impacts to public infrastructure and public spaces are addressed, and that new development helps achieve development goals outlined in the adopted master plans of the City. The Planning Commission has decision making authority regarding Design Review matters.

The proposed project will consist of ground floor commercial development and approximately 319 residential units of which 39 will be micro units and 53 units will be rental price restricted. The project provides for ten different amenity areas including a pool and rooftop patios, clubhouse, resident fitness area, resident bike room/pet wash area totaling approximately 58,800 square feet of gathering space, 12,800 square feet of commercial space including a new DABC State Liquor Store, and 4,300 square feet of back of the house support area. Approximately 393 off-street parking stalls are proposed to serve the project.

The project is designed to be built to and frame the existing streets. Due to the large nature of the development the building has been designed to read as three separate buildings. Primary/public parking access to the development is located off of 2100 South with secondary entrances located on 800 East and Commonwealth Avenue. Commercial uses will be primarily oriented to 2100 South, the south building elevation along Commonwealth is primarily residential and building service access. The structure will rise just short of 60 feet in height. Two mid-block pedestrian connections are proposed through the building in a north/south orientation to facilitate movement between residential and commercial portions of the project. Building façade articulation and step backs are provided to realize a pedestrian scale development along street frontages. Landscaping will be provided along all streets in accordance with City Code. Exterior building materials include brick in four different colors, composite wood, vertical metal panel on upper floors, glass, and stucco in two colors. Wall murals are incorporated into the wall on the east building elevation, and the historic Snelgrove Ice Cream sign will be included at the northeast corner of the building along 2100 South.

The applicant has submitted detailed plans to support their application including a site plan, floor plans, elevation drawings, renderings, parking calculations, and landscaping plans. The applicant has also included a graphic showing the proposed project’s vicinity to adjacent residential development to the south.

The Tavernacle put this out on their social media -- had no idea they'd be able to reopen so soon!

THE TAVERNACLE SOCIAL CLUB: THE SECOND COMING

We are freaking out with excitement to make our official Announcement:
The Tavernacle Social Club has found a new home 3 blocks West from our beloved space of 20 years.
Our lease was terminating on August 31st. We were planning on selling off all our equipment and on August 26th we found a space available in the Broadway Media Building. We were able to sign a lease and move everything to the new space within a week. Thank you for your fasting and prayers. They were all answered...
We are working hard and getting ready for our big RE-OPENING scheduled for OCTOBER 29TH. Keep praying because without Devine intervention we might not make it.

My buddy's company is doing some of the construction on the new space and he said it's going to be pretty awesome!

I respectfully disagree and think the first image is a little deceiving. From different perspectives a 488ft Astra would still look only slightly taller than the COB.
