SALT LAKE CITY | Convention Center Hotel | 335 FT | 26 FLOORS

This news came out awhile ago, but this project is anticipated to start in early 2020 so I thought I'd make a thread for it now.

Salt Lake City’s new convention hotel will be a 28-story skyscraper of glass and textured aluminum bursting out on the city skyline, slim and rectangular with gently rounded edges, about 725 guest rooms and huge digital billboards on both sides of its grand entrance on 200 South.

Scheduled to open in spring 2022, the hotel will be woven into the southeast corner of the Salt Lake Palace Convention Center on 200 S. West Temple, according to preliminary plans under review at City Hall.

Its design echoes the Salt Palace’s distinct cylindrical towers with curved ends on the hotel’s vaulting guest room tower, while its spacious ground floor lobby, restaurant and corner market on 200 South will seek to bring a sense of around-the-clock vibrancy to the downtown area.

Salt Lake City, UT – Today, Atlanta-based real estate developer Portman Holdings and Salt Lake County announce the selection of Hyatt Hotels Corporation as operator of the new Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City on the corner of 200 South and West Temple.

“We are delighted to have closed financing and to commence construction of the state-of-art, 700-key Hyatt Regency convention hotel in Salt Lake City. This is the culmination of a multi-year effort, a strong partnership with the County, and an innovative financing and execution strategy. We are also pleased to continue our 52-year partnership with Hyatt Hotels that began with the iconic Hyatt Regency Atlanta,” said Ambrish Baisiwala, CEO of Portman Holdings.

The project is estimated to cost $377 million and has been partially financed through the Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy program, which allows for specialty financing to enable green energy design and implementation. The hotel represents one of the first ground-up developments to utilize this program in Utah.

“We are so excited for this project to come to fruition as it has been many years in the making. This convention center hotel will change the urban landscape of Salt Lake City and help strengthen the local economy,” said Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson. “We want to thank our incredible partners at the state, the city, and across the private sector. Without their cooperation and dedication, this project would never have become a reality.”
The 686,784 square foot, 26-story hotel will have 700 guest rooms and 60,000 square feet of meeting space. The hotel will have two separate restaurants on the first and sixth floors and a lobby bar. The sixth-floor restaurant will sit adjacent to an outdoor amenity area, inclusive of a pool and a 7,500 square feet outdoor terrace for events and other activities. The project will be directly connected to the Salt Palace Convention Center for seamless access to convention attendees staying at the hotel or using its offerings.

“This is one of the most exciting developments we’ve seen in the last 20 years,” said Mark White, Senior VP of Sales & Services for Visit Salt Lake. “It takes full advantage of our stunning mountain backdrop and the downtown’s urban setting. Our sales team now has everything meeting professionals want, and we’re ready to compete for more and larger tradeshows and conventions.”
Construction begins in early January 2020 with a groundbreaking event scheduled for Friday, January 10, 2020 at 12PM MST.

A tower crane has been installed after continuous foundation work, so I'd say this one is actively under construction now. Can I get the thread moved to U/C?

Construction on the hotel started Jan. 13 and the grand opening is scheduled for October 2022.

Jason Lee for the Deseret News...Salt Lake County officials, in conjunction with Atlanta-based real estate developer Portman Holdings, broke ground Friday on the building, which the Hyatt Hotels Corp.
will manage and operate as the new Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City. The new hotel will be located at the corner of 200 South and West Temple in downtown Salt Lake City, adjacent to the Salt Palace Convention Center.

Scheduled to open in October 2022, the $377-million project will be partially financed through the Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy program, which allows for specialty financing to enable green energy design and implementation,
a news release stated. The 700-plus room hotel will be among the first “ground-up” developments to utilize the program in the Beehive State...

...“It gives us another layer of sophistication when it comes to attracting bigger and better shows to the state of Utah that helps the entire area. Utah’s going to take a better step in terms of prominence on the national stage because of a
facility like this,” he said. “People that hadn’t considered the state before are now going to say, ‘I need to look at Utah, I need to be in Utah for these conventions.’ That’s what kind of prominence this new center is going to give us.”

The 686,784-square-foot, 26-story hotel will include 700 guest rooms and 60,000 square feet of meeting space, as well as two separate restaurants on the first and sixth floors and a lobby bar. The sixth-floor restaurant will sit adjacent to
an outdoor area with a swimming pool, as well as a 7,500-square-foot outdoor terrace for events and other activities.

The project will be directly connected to the Salt Palace Convention Center to provide convenience for convention attendees, Baisiwala said...

...“This hotel is built directly into the convention center, which makes it exceptionally easy for the convention attendees to go in and out from their hotel rooms into the convention center,” he said. “Perhaps more importantly, it has a lot
of suites — big rooms where VIPs can be housed. And it also has a lot of meeting space which augments the number of meeting rooms of the Salt Palace.”

Hyatt Regency Convention Center Hotel - Mechanical Adjustments

- 685,000 SF (overall building area)
- 700 rooms
- 26 stories
- Estimated completion date—September 2022
- Owner, Developer—Salt Lake City CH LLC
- Architect—Portman Architects and FFKR Architects
- GC—Hensel Phelps Construction and Okland Construction





Mechanical Adjustments - Engineers tasked with creating high-rise mechanical systems confront issues in both plumbing and HVAC work—leading to the creation of highly efficient buildings.


Taylor Larsen - October 5th, 2020 | by UC&D Magazine - http://utahcdmag.com/2020/10/we-own-the-sky/

High-rise structures stand out in a number of areas—most notably in the mechanical realm. With many of these proposed structures over 20 stories taller than the three-story, or 75-foot, threshold defined by the International Building Code (IBC 2000), adjustments to standard, low-rise systems are needed for high-rise systems in order to adequately keep tenants and visitors safe.

In order to understand some of those adjustments, Kim Harris, P.E. and President Emeritus of VBFA explains some key differences in what are called “life safety issues” that come about while doing their mechanical engineering work in these high-rise structures. Water pressure, smoke mitigation, stair pressurization and fire sprinkler design are some of the issues that Harris has dealt with while designing the Salt Lake City Convention Center Hotel on 100 South and West Temple.

He says that water pressure is a critical issue for this building, currently still in construction. “The building heights change the way we design piping systems. It changes the design of the equipment, the valves, the piping and everything else to be rated for higher pressures,” Harris says. Although the equipment on the mechanical side doesn’t scale proportionally in cost, which is a relief in terms of overall expenses, it does require equipment rated to a higher number of pounds per square inch.

Harris and the VBFA team are under specific constraints with Salt Lake City’s 26-story Convention Center Hotel project. It took VBFA 18 months to design, which Harris says is because “it’s a complicated site. They had to tear down part of the Salt Palace, which led to a tight site with [the new construction] coming into an existing building.”

While site selection poses a unique test, Harris details how this and other high-rises in SLC present challenges to mechanical engineers tasked with heating and cooling a building.

“The building exterior envelope has a high percentage of glass,” Harris says of the hotel. The exterior glazing that goes to make such a beautiful glass façade on these high-rises is here to stay, as is the unique challenges that using those materials creates. “The south-facing, floor-to-ceiling glass presents a huge challenge.”

Harris says that code prevents a building from using over 30–40-percent glass on a prescriptive basis. But there is a catch. “You can get around that by showing savings in energy-usage in other areas by completing an energy model on the building,” he explains. “And our energy model showed that it beat the energy code overall. It’s still a highly-efficient building.” The malleable energy code allows a more perfect dance between the oft-competing ideas of aesthetics and practicality.

The problem-solving didn’t end there either. “The ground floor is probably even more challenging with its clear glass,” Harris says. The owner wanted full transparency so that there would be no reflection for those on the interior—that way, the ground floor can act as another sales pitch to passersby.

It’s an exciting time for Harris and other mechanical engineers to design these multi-purpose, high-rise buildings. They delight in overcoming the various challenges presented with plumbing, HVAC and energy use on 20-plus story towers.

Excellent shot from Building Salt Lake:



Also, Etesia was kind enough to give us a drawing of this building yesterday! (Hyatt Regency)

Off topic, but every time i explore salt lake city SSP, those ridiculously massive street blocks and streets cause a little bit of my soul to die. I wish they would do what theyre doing on block 67 with every block

beautiful proposal

There are a lot of midblock walkways being implemented in new projects nowadays, fortunately. That said, the large blocks and roads have some drawbacks but also give the city a unique sense of scale compared to other places and also opportunities for large green boulevards and transit infrastructure in the future. Even today, Main Street in SLC is a lovely urban experience despite its width.

Here's an view of Main Street from 1920 that shows how the blocks and roads were not really a barrier to street vitality back then. The automobile destroyed downtown SLC in the 50s-90s like it did many American cities but we are finally starting to recover from all of that and I think in 10 years it will be a remarkable urban experience yet again.



Also, here's another great photo update for the titular project from last Saturday:
