Isaac Riddle Reports @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/dev...ings-200-east/The 200 South block of 200 East is in the
middle of a significant transformation. The block is beginning attracting developers interested in its proximity to popular bars, restaurants and downtown amenities. There are currently three residential developments
either actively underway or in the planning stages. The most recent of those is the Moda Luxe, a proposed mixed-use development by JF Capital.

The Moda Luxe will be nine stories with 220 units. The project will consist of a three-story parking podium, two of which will be subterranean, below eight floors of residential. The majority of the units will be a mix of
studio, one and two bedroom apartments with four, three-bedroom penthouse units on the ninth floor.

The ground floor will house the third level of parking, the residential lobby and two restaurant-oriented commercial areas. At the second above-ground level will be most of the proposed residential amenities including
a deck and swimming pool. Additional amenities including a canopied area and dog park will occupy the roof level...

Downtown Update - The Olive 120

https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/wp-...2-1024x602.jpg

Taylor Anderson Reports, Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/dow...-in-the-depot/ Downtown’s housing boom continues, as C.W. Urban recently began construction on its next housing project: a six-story, 120-unit for-sale condo building on Broadway, just north of Pioneer Park.

C.W. Urban recently broke ground on the building, named The Olive in the Centerville-based company’s now-familiar naming mechanism. The company continues rapidly building mid-density, multi-family buildings across Salt Lake City.

The Olive will complete the corridor of mixed-use buildings moving toward the historic Rio Grande Depot, an area that is likely to see a development boom in the coming years. The Olive will add more ground-floor retail to the northwest corner of Pioneer Park.

Construction on The Olive has already replaced the office space that once housed the digital agency Underbelly, which moved north of Pioneer Park. The D-3, Downtown warehouse zoning calls for either the adaptive reuse or replacement of warehouse space with mixed-use, multi-family spaces.

“Some notable features about the building are a podium level outdoor garden area, rooftop urban lounge, ground floor commercial, high-end designer finishes and a City Lyft Parking Solutions system,” said Abbie Wardle, the company’s senior marketing coordinator.

C.W. Urban is underway on 400 townhomes and podium-stye condos and apartments in neighborhoods across the region.

The Olive will be the company’s first for-sale project Downtown, with studios through penthouse

Downtown Update - Brinshore Moves Forward With Updated Project

Founded in 1994, Brinshore has helped develop more than 80 housing projects in 11 states and the District of Columbia, with experience in partnering with city housing authorities and nonprofit groups, along with a focus on
environmental conservation and affordability.

The firm’s portfolio is valued at more than $1 billion, according to its website, and includes more than 6,500 residential dwellings, primarily in the Midwest. Walz said Brinshore’s interest in the State Street and Overnighter Motel
projects reflected a desire by the company to get a foothold in Utah’s thriving real estate markets.

“We are really excited to have this partnership with them,” Walz said Thursday. “Anytime we can partner with someone who’s got the commitment and experience for affordable housing, we see that as a benefit.”

Brinshore’s early plans call for making 89 of the 200 dwellings built there affordable and for putting a 10,000-square-foot day care center on the project’s first floor.

The city will also require construction of midblock walkways connecting Cornell Street, 1460 West and North Temple.


Copy By Luke Garrott @ BuildingSaltLake.com Senior representatives from Chicago-based Brinshore Development, one of the largest affordable housing developers in the country, according to Principal
David Brint, has briefed the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Board these past months...Brinshore’s mixed affordable and market-rate project aims to align with the goals of a 2018 RFQ from the RDA. Among those goals are
providing a significant number of “deeply affordable” units, promoting an active streetscape, establishing a public mid-block walkway, and preserving and activating the historic Cramer House on Floral Street...Instead of proposing a single
building of large scale, Brinshore’s architect, KTGY, has designed two structures. The south building will be eight floors containing 73 units and the north structure will rise to 13 stories with 117 units. 152 of the 190 total units will be
affordable, ranging from 20%-80% of AMI, with 38 units at market rate. The mix will be 122 one-bedroom, 52 two-bedroom, 13 three- and four-bedroom, with three at-grade artist live-work spaces.

On street level, the project will offer 23,000 sq. ft. of commercial space (down from 40,000 in previous plans), some of which will be dedicated to community and education purposes. The developer plans to build one level of below-grade
parking, offering 100 stalls. Eighteen surface parking spaces will be reserved for retail clients...Between the buildings will be a public “paseo.” It will run from Floral Street (an alley at about 125 East that’s accessible only from 200 South)
to State Street and align with Gallivan Avenue on the west side of State.

Pedestrians will be able to pass all the way from Edison Street (145 East) to State thanks to an existing east-west alley and the paseo.

The nonprofit group Spy Hop invites the voices of youth aged nine to 19 to be heard and valued as they tell their stories through film, music, audio and digital design. Beginning as an option for an after-school program that initially had 12 participants, now 18,000 participate in in-school, after-school and satellite programming. The location is the Central 9th (C 9), the newly redeveloping neighborhood just southwest of downtown with easy access by TRAX and buses. Atlas Architects, Inc., designed the facility to meet the specific space demands of the program, and Okland Construction built the project.

Photo by Scot Zimmerman

With COVID restrictions, the new building can’t fully open to participants and most of the staff work remotely. It’s ready to come fully alive when they all return. The building has the look of an art center with its angles, concrete and the perforated metal “skin” on the second floor. Spy Hop gets its name for the action of a dolphin rising in the water to take its bearings to navigate. The building roots itself in the urban neighborhood with visual connections providing a constant sense of place to its busy surroundings. The main entry is at the corner of 200 West and Harvey Milk Boulevard (900 South). The concrete walls and glass soar, and the wood of the reception desk adds a warmth. Much of the ground floor is dedicated to audio studio space for performing and recording. Also on the ground floor are workspaces and the cafeteria.

Moving up to the second floor is a large collaboration and group workspace with private work areas for projects and editing to the side that can be closed off with sliding glass doors. A classroom is equipped for teaching digital design.
On this floor is the boardroom and conference space, as well as offices. At the top is an indoor/outdoor reception space with a large hangar door opening to connect the two spaces.
Plans are to use the space for Spy Hop events like screening films (there is a drop-down screen) and performances, and perhaps to also allow other events to help financially support the non-profit.
Past the double glass doors is a food preparation area. The patio could easily host a very large group.

Scot Zimmerman - Reflecting on photographing Spy Hop, it is a space designed to be the backdrop for energetic, noisy, creative activity. Because of COVID precautions and restrictions, these happy days are yet to come. The photos could be greatly improved with people playing instruments, pounding out stories on computers, scripting films and filling the rooms with their creative excitement. It’s yet another thing to look forward to when this epidemic is finally controlled.

These next four years will probably be historically significant. I just hope that the trends are positive and do not continue to deteriorate. Much of Salt Lake's current success has been its relative civility amongst differing factions. If it can keep that civility, then barring an economic meltdown, Salt Lake City will have an incredible upcoming decade leading to its probable next U.S. Winter Olympics.

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.”

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.”

Developers share details on the building that will replace the historic Utah Theater and alter Salt Lake City’s skyline

Taylor Anderson Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/bui...citys-skyline/

January 12th - More than a year after the City Council agreed to give its historic theater on Main Street to developers, the new owners have released renderings detailing another building that will alter the capital city skyline. The development will continue the ongoing and rapid addition of housing into Salt Lake City’s Downtown core, adding 400 apartments in a 31-story building that’s just shy of 400 feet tall... The apartments will include studios plus one- and two-bedroom units. Five penthouse suites will exist on the 31st floor. 40 of the new apartments will be affordable under the property transfer agreement the City Council, acting as the Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors, created in 2020. The affordable makeup includes 31 studio units, five one-bedroom apartments, and four two-bedrooms, each with less space than their market-rate counterparts. Affordable was defined as those making between 60-80% AMI, which in Salt Lake County would be up to between about $39,000 and $49,250. The 24-foot ground-floor level will have 8,400 square feet for retail, plus a lobby and leasing office.

Details were released Monday on the Main Street Apartment tower proposed for Salt Lake City's Downtown.
The tower would add 400 apartment units, including 40 that are affordable for those making 60-80% median income. Rendering by Dwell Design Studio.

Main Street Entry

“The tower, and associated residential lobby entry, is also set back from Main Street (~10 ft), aiding in massing relief to the street wall and providing directional cues to pedestrian circulation towards the corridor plaza and public park...

(Francisco Kjolseth | The Salt Lake Tribune) The aging Utah Theater on Main Street shows its wear on December 3, 2019...City officials have opted for plans to redevelop
the site with a mixed-use skyscraper at least 30 stories high, with affordable housing, a public green space, parking structure and reuse of key elements from the historic theater.

I'm skeptical about the park on the garage concept. It's isolated and has no other access, and you have to walk up stairs to get to it. I guess that's better than just a parking garage. But, I sure hope there is a through-block connection from Main Street to West Temple through that garage.

[delts145]

You and me both. Overall, it's going to be a classy project. Hopefully, there will be a viable connection between Main and West Temple. After all, the pedestrian traffic potential at that particular location is phenomenal, especially with the giant Eccles Theater across the street on the east, and the convention center through the block on the west. Perhaps though, they're going to opt for keeping pedestrians orientated toward 1st So. and City Creek. There's certainly a lot of development poised to yet be realized along that section of 1st S. between Main and West Temple.

Downtown Update, Block 67 Development Timeline


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

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

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

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

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


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

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

...Ryan Ritchie, a principal in The Ritchie Group, has said the underground parking garage is integral to the project’s overall financial success...The loan agreement sets up a legal mechanism for the city to give the developers the $15 million in

Looks like another big project is imminent!!

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

I can't wait for the 2 CCH cranes to also go up. 6 tower cranes up and working From State Street to 3rd West and South Temple to 2nd South.

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