Update, Sugar House District - Park Avenue Project


Latest ABIDrone Flyover - January 12, 2021 - The 40 Park Avenue Construction : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmE5JyU2lLw


This enthusiastically welcomed development was formerly the giant parking lot of the big-box retailer Shopko. We all love getting rid of big parking lots.
Both the 80 and 60 Park Ave. structures are now completed. The 40 Park structure is progressing rapidly as you can see in the ABIDrone flyover

Park Avenue Developments

The buildings are replacing 9 acres of underutilized land near the heart of Sugar House. There are two new east-to-west streets to the north and south of the
development that will connect Highland Drive to 1300 East. The development will also include two new north to south throughways connecting Ashton to Stringham.

Sugar House - Crede Residential Launch Development - https://www.connect.media/crede-cott...ent-on-slc-mf/

Irvine, CA-headquartered CREDE broke ground on Park Avenue Apartments, a 238-unit multifamily complex in Salt Lake City’s Sugar House community. Developed in partnership with Salt Lake City-based Cottonwood Residential, the project is set for a Q4 2021 delivery.

CREDE’s Colby Durnin says, “Park Avenue Apartments will provide highly desirable apartments in the burgeoning Sugar House area. The economic growth of Utah and Salt Lake City in particular, have led to a strong need for new residential options, as more companies relocate or open offices in Salt Lake City.”

The mid-rise 238-unit project will offer studio, one and two-bedroom apartment homes. Each unit will include nine-foot ceilings, luxury vinyl wood plank flooring, upgraded cabinetry and stone countertops, with most units having a balcony or patio. The building will also feature 1,400 square feet of retail space, a fitness center, and a resort-style pool with an outdoor terrace that includes fire pits, barbecues and two hot tubs.

Downtown Update - Liberty Sky

“We’re excited to see residential on State Street, which is a fairly new addition to the ecosystem,” said Christian Harrison, the Downtown Community Council chairman.
“It is a good sign that State Street is turning a corner. We do hope it spurs more development farther south along State Street.”

“Offices are daytime [operations] and don’t create vibrancy or activity in the evenings. In downtown, they create dead zones,” Planning Director Norris added. “Apartments put eyes on
public spaces basically all day long. Those residents tend to go out at night and walk around the neighborhood. It enlivens downtown.”



(Artist's rendition courtesy of Cowboy Properties) Cowboy Properties and Boyer Co. are looking to build a 24-story apartment building on the east side of State Street between
the Federal Building on 100 South and the Maverik headquarters building on 200 South. The $90 million project is being praised for its prospects of bringing more residents to downtown Salt Lake City.

The Salt Lake Tribune - By Mike Gorrell - Convinced that downtown living is increasingly desirable, real-estate developers Cowboy Properties and Boyer Co. are building a 24-story apartment building on State Street between 100 and 200 South...

...The $90 million high-rise would include roughly 300 apartment units and a rooftop swimming pool. A five-story parking terrace would be built on its east side, hidden from street views by surrounding buildings.

Although rent levels would vary, Cowboy Properties President and CEO Dan Lofgren said most would cost near the “top of the market in today’s market. We’ll have studios to very large two bedrooms, units that
go for under $1,000 [a month] while some of the largest will be several thousand.”...

...“As the downtown residential market has evolved, and as we massaged what we thought was the best option, this residential tower emerged,” Lofgren said. “Downtown Salt Lake City has become an amenity-rich environment.
It’s become a great neighborhood. The pieces that were missing 10 years ago — not that it was bad then — are now filled in.“

First and foremost: the Harmons City Creek market at 135 E. 100 South. “The grocery store makes it a neighborhood,” Lofgren said. “For many household configurations, the option of living downtown has become the
preferred option. These are households hoping to live without a car, households looking for the convenience of being close to work, households energized by all the activities downtown,
households attracted to this notion of a high-rise and the views and lifestyle it offers.”

At the projected rent levels, he sees these apartments appealing to people working at high-tech and financial-services companies, law firms and banks. Retirees also are likely renters, Lofgren added,
“drawn especially by the arts downtown — the symphony, the ballet, Eccles Theater. That’s a pretty full basket of offerings.”...

...Planning Director Norris said the shift from office tower to residential high-rise is “certainly consistent with our master plan policies, which try to increase the number of people living downtown.”

Downtown Update - The Exchange


Covering more than 2 acres of prime downtown real estate... The Exchange is a joint venture between Giv Development, a local development firm, and Domain Properties, a New York based real estate firm. Both organizations focus on building and enhancing the surrounding community, in addition to the physical development. It was designed by KTGY Architecture + Planning. As part of the City's Civic Campus, this mixed-use development will sit just east of the Salt Lake City Public Library. The Exchange is planned to include 216 market-rate and 196 affordable residential units, which will add much needed density to the area. The number of units will total 412 units. Current plans have more than 20,000 square feet of street-front retail space. This ground floor space will be anchored by an international food hall and marketplace in partnership with the International Rescue Committee’s Spice Kitchen business incubator program. Other notable features of the development will include “The Shop at Salt Lake City”, Domain’s innovative co-working and business accelerator platform. The 30,000-square foot space will offer amenities and programming aimed at stimulating entrepreneurship, small business development, and community engagement. The proposal highlights the use of art and green space and commitment to energy efficiency and will be a great addition to the Civic Campus.

With commission approval both phases of The Exchange move forward

Columbia Pacific Advisors Lends $31M on Salt Lake City Adaptive Reuse Project

Seattle-based Columbia Pacific advisors’ bridge lending practice has provided just over $31 million in debt to developer lake union partners to redevelop a former industrial property in Salt Lake City into a sizable hotel, retail, and commercial mixed-use asset that will be anchored by outdoor and sports retailer, Evo.

Lake union partners have partnered with Evo in the development, which is being built with an aim to create a community hub around “outdoor culture” in salt lake city’s granary district, one of the city’s oldest and now-fastest growing areas located just south of the downtown area. Evo announced its intentions for the project in June 2019.

The retail complex will be called campus SLC and will span around 130,000 square feet. Evo will anchor the project but will be accompanied by a range of other “complementary” businesses that will likely help bolster the goal of facilitating a culture around outdoor sports and recreation. Evo has partnered with the bouldering project to bring a 30,000-square-foot “bouldering,” or rock climbing, gym to the project, for instance. The Bouldering project will co-anchor with Evo, as per information from Columbia Pacific.

Columbia pacific senior vice president of real estate lending, will nelson, said in a statement that “campus SLC provides a unique opportunity to participate in bringing a one-of-a-kind, outdoor-enthusiast-inspired retail and hospitality experience to salt lake’s burgeoning granary district. We believe the granary is an ideal location for the campus SLC, due to the district’s strong leasing activity and ongoing redevelopment into the city’s most vibrant neighborhood.”

nelson expressed elation over working with lake union partners, characterizing the firm as a “seasoned developer with a strong track record of delivering unique, high-quality projects.” lake union has a history of building quality, mixed-use residential and commercial assets throughout major primary markets in the pacific northwest and the broader western region of the u.s.

Campus SLC will feature an outpost for outdoor sporting goods shop l9 sports (or level nine sports), as well as an indoor skatepark from Seattle-based all together skatepark, an art gallery, creative workspace, and a range of food and beverage options. The original, targeted opening date was fall 2020, as per a June 2019 report in SQB media.

Evo founder and Ceo Bryce Phillips told SQB media in June 2019 that the idea for campus SLC was “directly born from [our] founding DNA,” which he said was built on striving “to build community through a love of the outdoors, music, arts, and culture.”

Phillips added that EVO’s goal for campus SLC, in line with its founding mission, was “to create a crossroads and hub for the salt lake city community.”

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 Upper Colorado River Commission building:

Southern Metro, Utah Valley University Pedestrian Bridge Opens



The new pedestrian bridge connecting Utah Valley University with the Utah Transit Authority’s FrontRunner Orem Central Station is pictured during its unveiling on Thursday, Jan.14, 2021.
Crews will continue putting the finishing touches on the bridge over the next few weeks, with an expected opening in early February. Laura Seitz, Deseret News


New pedestrian bridge will provide safety, save time for Utah Valley students - Deseret News - January 14, 2021 - Jason Lee Reporting: https://www.deseret.com/utah/2021/1/...alley-students

OREM — For nearly three years, Oumar Traore has taken the long way around the I-15 freeway to get to class at Utah Valley University.

A junior majoring in information technology who lives just west of campus, his alternatives are to walk along a frontage road then proceed along heavily traveled University Parkway in Orem, or wait for sparsely scheduled buses, or to brave speeding traffic by dashing across the freeway to get to the other side.

Soon that commuting nightmare will be a thing of the past. On Thursday, the ribbon was cut on a new pedestrian bridge that will make getting to the main campus east of the freeway a whole lot easier and much faster, too...

FrontRunner Orem Central Station on Thursday, Jan.14, 2021. Crews will continue putting the finishing touches on the bridge over the next few weeks, with an expected opening in early February. Laura Seitz, Deseret News


...“I’m a commuter student. I actually come from Eagle Mountain across Utah Lake, so it’s a little bit of a drive for me to get here,” she explained. “Having the option of taking the FrontRunner (commuter rail) and just being able to cross the bridge and be on campus is going to be so great where I don’t have to fight traffic anymore.”

The new pedestrian bridge connects Utah Valley University with the Utah Transit Authority’s FrontRunner Orem Central Station. The $30.7 million bridge was built through a partnership with UVU, UTA, the Utah Department of Transportation, along with the city of Orem and the state Legislature. The high-tech span measures more than three football fields at 1,000 feet long and 15 feet wide, making it the largest pedestrian bridge in Utah.

“This bridge is a one-of-a-kind triumph,” Val Peterson, UVU vice president of finance and administration, said. “Its construction began with a question — how we can safely connect pedestrians on one side of our campus with the other — and the larger question of how to more easily connect the community with UVU? I believe we have done just that.”

The bridge was built using 15,000 square feet of heated concrete that will melt snow and ice in the cold weather months. It also has a full-coverage roof to provide shelter from the elements, an elevator, and the walkway is lined with 125 lights and 18 security cameras for added safety.

Construction was aided by using locally sourced materials to make the finished product.

“One of the interesting things that I found was the girders. The steel underneath the bridge was manufactured at a plant right off of Geneva Road,” said UDOT engineer David Gill. “We were able to go and tour that plant and see how they build those girders — the steel beams to construct the bridge. That was fascinating for me as an engineer.”...




Construction Timeline On 1,000-Foot UVU I-15 Pedestrian Bridge

Construction has begun on a 1,000-foot bridge that will span Interstate 15 to connect the campus of Utah Valley University with housing and a Utah Transit Authority FrontRunner station.

UVU officials said the joint project between UVU, UTA and the Utah Department of Transportation will help students who commute to the university and alleviate traffic on nearby roads.

“This bridge is a symbol of UVU’s commitment to sustainability, clean air, and reducing traffic,” said UVU President Astrid Tuminez. “We are grateful to the Utah Department of Transportation and the Utah Transit Authority for their vision, resources, and support of this project.”



The bridge will include a 15-foot wide walkway with heating elements for snow removal. Officials said the partially-enclosed walkway will have high-capacity elevators and stairs at each end and will have enough space for pedestrians and cyclists.

So far, just over $30 million has been contributed for the project — $4 million from UTA, $6 million from UVU and $20.7 million from UDOT.

I-15 will close for brief periods at night when crews place beams and set concrete. UDOT officials will give two-week advance notices before the closures.

Ground was broken on the bridge last fall with an original completion date of August 2020 — the latest report from UVU officials said the bridge is now scheduled to be completed in November 2020.

Bridging the Gap

By: Courtney McKinnon -
https://www.uvu.edu/news/2019/12/121...g_the_gap.html

Architecture preserves the values, culture, and worldview of those who create it. History and politics continue to echo through the halls of the Palace of Westminster. Patrons still visit the Colosseum. The Taj Mahal is the enduring symbol of a broken heart. And the pyramids of Giza have fascinated curious minds for millennia. What we choose to build reflects who we are and the world in which we want to live.

Clark Olsen, president of Utah Pacific Bridge & Steel, is leading construction the next architectural landmark in Utah County — the I-15 pedestrian bridge. It is unlikely to draw tourists, but Olsen says it is destined to be attractive and draw attention to the magnitude of Utah Valley University. With more than 100,000 cars passing under the bridge every day, Clark calls it “a game-changer.”

He says the most significant impact will be on UVU students, faculty, staff, and visiting community members. The vast expanses of steel now being carefully crafted, only a few miles from the construction site, will provide safety, shelter, and direct access to UVU’s campus. The bridge melds classroom buildings on the west of the freeway to those on the east. Commuters arriving at the UTA FrontRunner Orem Central Station and the thousands of students living on the west side of I-15 will also soon have the choice of walking to the main campus.

The bridge is meticulously designed to provide a seamless traveling experience. The 15-foot wide walkway will allow ample space for both pedestrians and cyclists. Each side will have a bicycle stairway for easy bike transportation. An overhead roof will protect travelers from Utah’s variable weather. Heating elements in the floor will clear away snow and ice. And the partially enclosed walkway is designed to give travelers a breathtaking view.

Building bridges has been Olsen’s specialty for the past 45 years. He’s designed, fabricated, transported, and built hundreds of structures across the western United States, and with good reason. The domestic steel used by his company is handled with exactness. It’s processed with blow torches to evaporate any moisture trapped inside. Then, the impure outer layer is removed to guarantee stable welding. Specialized machinery cuts the steel to size within 1/5,000 of an inch. It then goes through stress and ultrasonic testing. In recognition of the company’s care and precision, Utah Pacific Bridge & Steel has received several industry awards. “We are proud of what we do here,” Olsen said. “Our employees are artisans. They really care about the quality of their work, and it shows.”

Olsen has been involved in the planning and development of the pedestrian bridge for the past 20 months. His 45-acre worksite is full of steel girders, web plates, and welded flanges. Each piece is stamped with a unique serial number that is always visible. This ensures that everything is properly assembled, and identifies the mill, roll, and physical and chemical characteristics of the metal. Olsen expects the bridge to stand tall without any issues for more than 60 years.

There are human-made structures that predate written languages, like the Cairn of Barnenez. Some buildings capture history and preserve it, like Notre Dame. And on rare occasions, there are opportunities to embrace change and develop something new.

Utah Valley University has a reputation for building bridges that connect people and help them forge a path to the future. In 2020, please pardon our dust as we work to unite our campus and continue bridging gaps for the entire community.



A milestone was reached as a steel beam was set in place Tuesday on a much-anticipated pedestrian bridge at Utah Valley University. The bridge will cover the expanse of Union Pacific and FrontRunner train tracks and I-15.

“This is the longest pedestrian bridge that we are aware of in the state of Utah, with it being almost 1,100 feet in length, as well as being nearly 2 million tons of steel when you add the roof to it,” said Geoff Dupaix, the senior communications manager for UDOT Region 3. “That is the equivalent of about four to five freight engines put together, so that’s a lot of steel.” The bridge will provide a safe, direct route for UVU students and faculty traveling back and forth from housing, the Orem Intermodal UTA transportation Center, and the university’s west campus. Currently, the only pedestrian access is a sidewalk on the I-15 University Parkway interchange. “We think this is an amazing project for the university because it will link 8,000 beds which are located on the other side of the freeway, as well as 25 acres where we have our health professionals’ campus, with our main campus, and basically create a walkable campus which will create an integrated transportation system for the university,” said Val Peterson, vice president of Finance and Administration at Utah Valley University. But, he says, it will also benefit anyone in the community that enjoys the activities and events on the Orem Campus. “It creates a walkable community for our venues such as the UCCU Center where we play sports, where we hold multiple events for the community; it will also link in the Noorda Center with our performing arts, plays, concerts. You will be able to take FrontRunner to Utah Valley University and literally be able to walk over to our campus and attend those events.”...

... “Just having the conversation several years ago about what can be done to make things better over here?” Dupaix also said it is part of a larger conversation about the state. “It really started as a groundswell — just having these conversations from these various organizations, as well as a change of philosophy in how we do our business and how we try to keep people moving in Utah.” How they keep pedestrians “moving” above I-15 involves the creation of a state-of-the-art bridge. It includes a gentle curvature to avoid a “tunnel feeling,” elevators for ADA and bicycle access, extra-wide width, a covered roof with perforated sides for comfort, and a heated deck and roof. Those features allow for a comfortable two and a half to three-minute walk, but they also provide additional safety to pedestrians and the traffic below. “We take a lot of pride in making sure that what we build will hold up and last for decades to come. That is why we added features such as a rooftop to keep people out of the elements as well as heating the bridge deck itself so that you don’t have to worry about any ice or any type of snow accumulating on the bridge, because that not only makes it unsafe for pedestrians but also for the motorists who are driving underneath the bridge,” Dupaix said. An estimated 5,000-6,000 students will use the bridge daily when it opens. Still, the number could reach 20,000 in the future as an expansion of residential development, and the UVU campus occurs on the west side of I-15. Peterson said the project is forward-thinking...



By Lee Davidson for the Salt Lake Tribune @ https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics...y-night/August 20,2020

To allow work on what will soon be Utah’s longest pedestrian bridge, Interstate 15 will close in both directions in Orem from Saturday at 10:30 p.m. to Sunday at 10 a.m.It will close between University Parkway and
800 North, and traffic will be detoured onto local roads during that time. The Utah Department of Transportation expects significant traffic delays during that time.The closure will allow pouring concrete for the walking surface of a
1,000 foot-long pedestrian bridge between the Utah Transit Authority’s Orem FrontRunner station and the Utah Valley University campus. The bridge will span not only I-15 but also College Drive and railroad tracks for both Union
Pacific and FrontRunner. Between 5,000 and 6,000 students are expected to use the bridge daily once it opens early next year.The Utah Department of Transportation says more than 50 truckloads of concrete will be used Saturday night —
enough to build a 6-foot-wide sidewalk nearly a mile and a half long (approximately 525 cubic yards).
Once complete, the bridge will weigh more than 5 million pounds, have a 15-foot-wide walking surface, and cross approximately 23 feet above the freeway. UDOT says the Utah Valley University Pedestrian Bridge is one of the most significant nonvehicle investments UDOT has ever made, and represents a collaborative effort between UDOT, UVU, and UTA.

I-15 will close in both directions Saturday, Aug. 22, at 10:30 p.m. to Sunday, Aug. 23, at 10 a.m., as concrete is poured on the bridge. Kristin Murphy, Deseret News

Redford Sells Sundance Resort To Pretigious New Owners - Will develop a new lodge, additional lifts, double skiable acreage

OnTheSnow.com - By Craig Altschul - https://www.onthesnow.com/news/a/637...undance-legacy


Iconic Sundance Resort has new owners. Sundance Resort photo

The Sundance Kid is not a kid anymore. Robert Redford, 84, has sold his unique resort mixing bowl of inspirational culture and outdoor pursuits to a combo of two real estate investment firms with national and international experience in world-class hospitality properties. That experience doesn’t include skiing. No matter. Here’s why:

“Sundance is a uniquely beautiful place,” Bill Jensen, who might be as legendary in the ski industry as Redford is in the movie world, told OnTheSnow.com. “It’s so peaceful, so natural, a totally different feel or vibe than, say, Park City or Vail or Aspen. All the elements are there for us to continue the legacy and expand it.”

Jensen, who left as Telluride’s CEO last summer, has been named a partner and senior adviser at Broadreach Capital Partners, one of the two investment firms. His role will be in strategic planning and positioning, not in day-to-day management (“the resort executive team will stay in place”). Bringing in this U.S. Ski Hall of Famer gives the new owners “instant street cred” and experience.



Investment groups combine

Broadreach, based in Palo Alto, Calif., and Cedar Capital Partners, headquartered in London and New York, combined last month to acquire the iconic Utah resort, named in the 2019 Conde Nast Traveler Readers’ Choice Awards as the number one ski resort in North America.

The synergy between the two investment firms starts with Broadreach Managing Partner Philip (“Flip”) Maritz, who is also a senior adviser to Cedar. Redford and Maritz first discussed a sale almost two decades ago, but Redford wasn’t ready to pass the torch yet. “I had been searching for years for the right people to take it to the next level, so that I could take that weight off my shoulders and enjoy my life," Redford told the Associated Press at the time of the sale. “I gave it some time, and kept questioning him and pushing him. His answers held up. So I said, ‘OK, this is the time and I think this is the right guy.’”

The sale price was not disclosed, but as Maritz told Utah media, It wasn’t all about the money. “He was more concerned about legacy, stewardship, fit, philosophy.”

The portfolios of both firms are impressive, with Broadreach having redeveloped iconic hotels such as The Carlyle in Manhattan; the Fairmont San Francisco; the Biltmore in Santa Barbara; Four Seasons hotels in Toronto, Houston, Austin, and in the West Indies. The extensive Cedar portfolio includes the Monte Carlo Grand in Monaco and The Savoy in London.

The sale does not include Redford’s other assets and Sundance projects including the Sundance Institute, the Sundance Film Festival, Sundance Catalog, Sundance TV or the Redford Center. The resort will continue to host workshops and events organized by those entities. Redford also announced his family has put 300 acres at the base of Mt. Timpanogas, in an area popular with cross-country skiers, into the Redford Family Elk Meadows Preserve in partnership with Utah Open Lands.

“But, don’t be fooled,” Ben Leahy, Cedar managing director and a lifelong skier, told us. “We see Sundance in a different category than all these luxury places. Sundance is all about what nature created.”



The Jensen factor



Bill Jensen, Ski industry icon advises on resort icon

Jensen’s 47-year ski industry career began as a “liftie” at Mammoth in the 1970s and moved on from there to the highest-level executive roles at Intrawest (now Alterra), Vail, Sunday River, Northstar, Breckenridge, Whistler and Telluride. His track record and quiet demeanor has made him a well-liked and respected leader.

He told us he met ‘Flip’ Maritz about 20 years ago during his tenure as Vail’s chief operating officer. Maritz has a home in Vail. Jensen said he signed on as a partner with Broadreach to bring a strategic vision and positioning for the future of Sundance, particularly when it comes to its winter life as a ski resort.

The summer experience at the resort includes the Sundance Institute from May to July, but the entire season invites guests to choose a variety of outdoor adventures. The resort website puts it like this: “Bike, hike, ride a horse, raft a river, or catch a fish. Stroll through a shady aspen grove, wade in a cold mountain stream, enjoy our private park - The Hollow. In Sundance, Utah you can be more than a human being, you can be a human doing!” Basically, the idea is to offer an adult summer camp, Maritz says.

But in winter, activity shifts to 12,000-foot Mt. Timpanogas, the behemoth in Provo Canyon, where the resort sits peacefully in the North Fork. Top elevation of the ski service area is 8,250. The 42 ski runs are spread over 450 acres of steep bowls for advanced skiers and groomed slopes for beginners and intermediates.

Jensen told us his group intends to invest in the resort infrastructure by doubling the available ski terrain to 850 acres and adding in more novice territory. The plan is to add three new lifts, replacing one with a high-speed detachable quad, as well as increasing skier services and expanding parking.


A new village lodge


He said building a 50 to75-room lodge in the village is also on the drawing board as that’s particularly important for conference business. A continued commitment to sustainability in all its forms is a given as part of the sale.

Sundance long has been popular with local Utah County skiers where Provo is the largest city and the home of Brigham Young University (BYU).

Jensen said the county will be a major focus for growth in skier numbers. Utah County’s population has jumped by double digit percentage growth every year since 2010. Sundance will continue to lure the destination vacationer as well as skiers taking a day of their ski week at the Park City resorts and making the 45-minute drive to experience Sundance. Salt Lake City is less than an hour away.

So, the memorable quote from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid – “who are those guys?”- has a good answer. “Those guys” appear to be ready to do exactly as Redford has envisioned for the future of Sundance, all the while taking it to that new level.

As Jensen puts it: “There aren’t many brands like this in the ski world.”

Downtown Update - Hyatt Regency, Convention Center Hotel







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.”

Salt Lake City convention hotel on track for fall 2022 opening


Estimated to cost $377-plus million, Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City is scheduled to be completed and hosting its first guests in the fall of 2022

Janurary 12th - Henry S. Johnson for Global Travel Industry News - https://eturbonews.com/2552484/salt-...-2022-opening/

One year after its groundbreaking ceremony, Salt Lake’s convention hotel — the Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City — is on schedule for completion in October 2022.

The tower concrete construction is completed through level three and the podium steel erection begins later this month. Through the first quarter of 2021, the exterior façade installation will begin, escalators on meeting room levels will be hoisted into place and the vertical construction is slated to continue to progress with topping out of the project to come at the end of this year.

“Seeing the Hyatt Regency Salt Lake City taking shape is both exciting and promising for Salt Lake’s meeting and convention future and the recovery of our visitor economy from the devastating effects of COVID-19,” said Kaitlin Eskelson, president & CEO of Visit Salt Lake.

“Our sales team will soon have everything meeting professionals want and they’re working hard to fill this new property and the many others throughout our community to ensure the long-term success of Salt Lake’s hospitality community.”

Report On Downtown Housing Boom

A few things in the report to notice.

1. They are using an old image of future buildings. These don't include Kensington Tower, the Dakota Pacific Mixed-Use Tower, nor the Utah Theater Tower.

2. We know that addresses can and at times are generally wrong in reports but mentioning a taller building at or near 4th South and State. There have been rumors of the parking lot being developed over the last decade and each time it is fleeting. If the address is correct, it would seem that the project is further along than others in the past.

3. The 7,000 housing units approved in the last 5 years. That is great and we know that more are coming up downtown. I just wonder if these numbers are based on just building permits or from planning approvals.

4. It is nice to see a good report about the construction boom happening and from the sounds of it, we are at just the start of the boom.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION


12 luxury condos at the mouth of Emigration Canyon - 860 S Donner Way, Salt Lake City, UT 84108 - 1.12 acres

The Emigration Overlook project is the transformation of an existing empty lot into a Luxury Condominium housing project. Situated on a west-facing slope, the building will cascade down the hill to emphasize the unique character of the site and to minimize the impact of the existing environment. The Project will also boast spectacular views from its rooftop terraces that will be full of lush landscaped public and private spaces. The carefully designed and verdant landscape will utilize native plant types to allow for low maintenance and to be drought-tolerant and will minimize the impact on the existing vegetation while enhancing the views from adjoining properties. The Architectural Design and landscape are simultaneously contextual and contemporary.

Downtown Update - Redevelopment, Seismic Upgrades, Renovation and Restoration of Historic Temple Square

Current Temple Square setup. Note in upcoming plans how the structures fronting the Temple at the north and south will be demolished and replaced in different positions in their relationship to the Temple itself. The more modern structures
that now front the Temple on both sides will be removed and new structures with a more historic vibe will be constructed to the sides of the Temple. This will open up the iconic structures approach. Landscaping and water features will also
be redeveloped, again affording the historic Temple improved site lines. Also, a significant part of the redevelopment will be subterranean structures and seismic upgrades.

What will visitor experience be like during renovation? We now know


Tad Walch - December 4th - Deseret News - https://www.deseret.com/2019/12/4/20...-temple-square

SALT LAKE CITY — When the Salt Lake Temple closes for a major, four-year renovation on Dec. 29, Temple Square won’t.

In fact, Temple Square will remain open 365 days a year and is expected to attract more visitors than ever before as the curious flock to watch the construction and see a new film and exhibits at the Conference Center across the street, officials
for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints said Wednesday.

The L.D.S. church also released four new renderings on Wednesday of what the temple renovation will look like when it’s done in 2024, but officials focused on the Temple Square visitor experience during a round of interviews with a large
media contingent in the square’s South Visitors’ Center.

[B]...The visitor experience during construction will be "unique and engaging and a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,” said Tanner Kay, the Temple Square guest experience manager. “The most exciting thing to experience will be to view the temple renovation itself from the vantage point of the balcony and the roof of the Conference Center. You’ll be able to see over all the construction fences right down into the full excavation of the temple.”

Some 5 million people visit Temple Square each year, making it one of the Nation's biggest tourist attractions. The tourist buses that bring many of those visitors to the area now will arrive on the West Temple Street side of the
Conference Center block...


The remodel has two main purposes.

“First of all, seismic stability in the temple concerns the First Presidency long term. We want to make sure that is protected and it will last,” Roberts said. “Secondly, mechanical, electrical and plumbing is 56 to 65 years old. It needs to be replaced. It needs to be updated.”

The reason the foundation and footings will be exposed is because the major part of the renovation is placing the massive, granite temple — the largest Latter-day Saint temple in the world — on a base isolation system.

“What we’re doing is separating the temple, the foundation, from the earth itself with a mobile, moving base isolation system,” Roberts said. “So we’ve got to go all the way down there. We’re going to save the old footings because they are historic. ... We will brace the temple upon the base isolators and separate it from the ground, in essence ... to allow the temple to float and move during a seismic event at a slower rate to preserve it from damage.”

Roberts said church leaders have been considering the base isolator seismic upgrade for nearly 20 years.

“We now think we have the most up-to-date, proven technology,” he said.

The renderings released Wednesday unveiled another driver in the renovation project — history.

Emily Utt, a church historian, has been working since 2011 on the Salt Lake Temple’s history. She is part of a committee that is working to use the renovation as an opportunity to return the temple closer to its original state.

She has studied hundreds of architectural drawings, layers of paint, the insides of walls, the murals and more.

“We want this building to be safe and functional for the next 100 years, but we also want this building to be beautiful for the next 100 years,” she said. “And because this building is so iconic and so important to the L.D.S. church, we want to honor
those who did the original construction. Preserving the building is the very best way we can make this building safe and honor those who came before.

“We hope at the end of this project that if original craftsmen walked through, they would recognize it as their building and say, ‘Oh, I painted that’ or ‘Oh, I put that millwork in.’”





Demolition Breakdown - Crews demolish Temple Square visitors center and wall to prepare for Salt Lake Temple & Temple Square renovation

By Tad Walch for the Deseret News - https://www.deseret.com/faith/2020/1...-temple-square


SALT LAKE CITY — The heavy-duty dig bucket on a CAT excavation tractor began knocking down the South Visitors’ Center on Temple Square on Friday as crews prepared the area for the gargantuan renovation project on the landmark
Salt Lake Temple.

Construction crews also demolished parts of the south wall surrounding Temple Square to give them better access during the project.

They also have removed trees and statues, ...which are being placed in storage along with temple furnishings.

Some trees and vegetation are being recycled. Others are being preserved and will be restored when the project is completed in 2024.

“We are working to carefully preserve some of the trees, transplant them and then replant them at the end of the project,” said Andy Kirby, director of historic temple renovations, in a news release issued Friday. “We will also plant additional
trees when we finish the renovation, so there will be more trees on Temple Square than there were when this project began.”


A tall, 70-year-old Cedar of Lebanon tree is being preserved.

“It’s a special tree,” Kirby said. “It’s beautiful, beloved by many, so we’ll go through great efforts to preserve this tree as we excavate around it.”...

While the temple is closed, Temple Square remains open. Visitors are encouraged to come and watch the work, which soon will include the start of the excavation project to install a base isolation system under the temple for seismic stability.

On Jan. 1, the Conference Center across the street began to serve as a visitors center, a role it will have throughout the renovation. Visitors are encouraged to stop in for new exhibits, a new film about the temple and the renovation, and to
look down into the construction site from the Conference Center roof.

Downtown, Temple Square Renovation Recap & Photo Updates



At a news conference held on April 19, 2019, President Russell M. Nelson announced that the Salt Lake Temple would close on December 29, 2019, for approximately four years of renovation and restoration including improvements to
the surrounding grounds and facilities. The temple is expected to reopen in 2024 when guests will be invited to tour the interior of the iconic building during a public open house. Highlights of the project include the following:


- Structural reinforcements to the walls and roof of the temple will work in conjunction with a base isolation system installed under the massive foundation to mitigate the impact of seismic activity.

- Modern mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems will replace the aging and outdated equipment located throughout the temple.

- The historic interior of the temple will be restored and refreshed, returning to a Victorian-inspired palette of dark woods, rich colors, and patterned fabrics.

- Portions of the solid wall that currently surround Temple Square will be replaced with decorative fences, providing much better views and access to the temple from the north and south.

- The South Visitors’ Center will be demolished and replaced with two smaller visitor pavilions that will not obstruct views of the temple from the south.

- The existing annex and sealing room addition on the north side of the temple, built in the 1960s, will also be demolished and replaced by two smaller patron pavilions located away from the sight-line of the iconic original structure.

- Entryways will be located underground, featuring expansive skylights with generous views of the temple above. This area will be accessible from the patron pavilions through a grand hall or by way of a patron tunnel from the
Conference Center parking facility.

- The plaza and landscaping south of the Church Office Building will be repaired and renovated with greater emphasis on the visitor experience.

I think this view is facing southwest.
Thanks for posting Atlas!

Yeah, it is a little underwhelming and boxy, darn it. It is still really nice, though.

I do think that the view from the Southwestern corner will be a little more dynamic. The site is currently an empty lot, so I can hardly complain about a 28 floor tower going up on it either.



I also really like the overall feel of this project at street level.



Just for a reminder, I'll add the project details again.

There are a number of pluses to this tower. First, they've attractively camouflaged the parking structure, which is always a big plus in my book, and that they've put the garage entrances to the back instead of 4th S. is also a plus Also, as has been pointed out the street engagement on W. Temple is very attractive. For me, I'm also liking these curtain walls that Salt Lake has been turning out lately with the upcoming towers. Let's hope that this tower along with the Hyatt Regency and 99 West are only the beginning for W. Temple. Height and density on W. Temple is long overdue.

That said, Salt Lake has arrived at a point where its downtown towers should be given literally an 'outside the box' design. Even conservatively speaking there is no reason Salt Lake City cannot advance now to towers in the 500' to 550' category, along with some of the kind of curvature that is both understated, yet definitely not a cereal box. I think the Marriott CCH and the Wilshire Grand here in Los Angeles are excellent examples of the type of towers that would fit well and enhance the Salt Lake City skyline. Of course, they're not going to be as tall as here in L.A. at this point, but the designs would still be very attractive. Make them mixed-use, particularly heavy on the luxury rental apartments side in order to justify the additional construction costs. Salt Lake City is still way underserved when it comes to luxury rental apartments. The explosion of mid-rises if kept up seems to be making inroads into the much needed affordable housing at this point. Leave the overwhelming majority of the affordable mix to the mid-rises. At this point in Salt Lake's journey to notoriety, it wouldn't hurt to continue on with making West Temple an upscale corridor. This new tower on 4th, 99 West Tower, and the Hyatt Regency are already pretty much in that upscale vein.

Downtown West - Timeline of C.W. Urban's 'The Beverly'


June 20, 2019
Four buildings, each four stories, will barely reach the minimum height required by Gateway-Mixed Use zoning (45 feet).
Like all proposed projects in this zone, the developer had to submit to a Conditional Building Site Design Review process...

...The city required the builders to include public art and a mid-block walkway along the eastern edge of their property. Benches will be placed at the south end of the walkway as it terminates at 100 South, immediately east of Futsal 801. The north end of the walkway will terminate in Gateway’s western surface parking lot fence...

A new development in the Euclid Neighborhood has filed with the Planning Commission for a Transit Station Development.

Project Description:
Quote:
We are requesting review of the TSA score for a multi-family development located at 820 West 200 South. The project consists of 218 low-income residential units on five levels over an underground parking garage with 131 parking stalls.
Quote:
The property is currently occupied by single-family housing. There are a series of eight lots being combined for this development along with the vacation of a portion of 800 West. This project has gone through many iterations and is now to a point where it can proceed with all appropriate speed for approval and construction.

The building has been designed to meet administrative approval requirements for the TSA Zone.
