Thanks for all the pics, guys! I can sound like an expert whenever I'm driving through downtown with someone.

I don't even know that they've officially opened for sales or announced pricing, so a number like 46% bodes well for the rest of the residential units at CCC.

I was contacted by a salesman from City Creek Living. I told him I couldn't afford that.

Tower 1 will be the same price range.

They haven't finalized the pricing of the towers along 1st South but he said that the top end may top out at $400k but couldn't state the low end.

Someone else mentioned Borders.

I anticipate an H & M entering the market as a mini anchor. Someone else had suggested that maybe a Saks, Nieman Marcus or Bloomingdales may open a small womens only store.

I can't remember what some of the other suggestions were. Remember we have to think of stores outside our market. 40-60% off all stores will be new to the market.

I say it every time, although it's not a mini anchor, here's to hoping we get a free standing Kenneth Cole store.

If we get that I don't care what else we get.

I had to pick my sister up from the airport late tonight so I did a little shopping and then snapped a few shots of downtown to kill some time.

I do apologize as some of the photos are a bit crooked, I didnt have time to straighten them out before posting... but youll get the general idea

I can't believe the freaaaaaaking snow, you all must be getting what we just went through. If that's the case, get ready for more.

delts145 · #**1071** Posted **Feb 19, 2009, 12:19 PM**

Hey Kp, In the southern metro (your old stomping grounds) it's been more of a valley rain/sleet. Up in the northern metro of Davis and Weber,they've been getting allot more snow in the valley. The Mountains as you can imagine, have been getting some stellar totals. Definately, an incredible year for the powder hounds at the metro ski resorts.

I think that the Regent Street rendering may have been posted here before, but I'd never seen this:

Maybe a new hotel??

I think it would be a good advertisement to have a huge two-story condo or two at CCC.

By the way, that's a beautiful building, even though it isn't very big.

There is a blending of modern and historic elements. My highest complements to the architects, whoever that is.

It seems like the only ones with any doubts about the downtown condo market are the builders. I think they could sell anything they can build.

I like the difference in vibes that they've created between the housing choices.
I see Richards Court appealing to retired wealthy Mormons, and the Regent appealing to a younger, more urban crowd. It will be interesting to see how and to whom Tower 1 is marketed.

As has been stated, it does seem like CCC is more stately and traditional on the north side of the blocks, and more modern on the south side, almost like they are blending from the institutional (religious) on the north end of downtown to the southern commercial side of downtown. Which, in my opinion, is actually pretty good design, so as not to detract or distract from their holy places by having traditional designs next door, but then blending into modern; yeah, I just think it's cool.
