Brinshore Development of Chicago will have two attractive projects coming up for Salt Lake City in 2020 & 2021. The first to commence will be Downtown's 255 S. State and the second along the North Temple light-rail line on the
western perimeter of downtown.



The Brinshore Project - 255 South State


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.

Luke Garrott, BuildingSaltLake.com: ...Construction began last week on 255 South State.


City officials and developers will be delivering on a mixed-use, 80% affordable, two-tower project that incorporates significant public plazas and a midblock “paseo” between State Street and Edison (145 E). It will restore and repurpose a
historic house into a restaurant as part of the development’s 25,000 sf of retail space. The taller of the two towers (eight and 12 stories) will use an innovative construction technique, combining light structural steel with 10 levels of
load-bearing factory-panelized walls called the “Infinity System.”

The project’s 190 units will range from studios to 4-bdrms. 168 of those are federal tax credit units, serving people who make between 20-80% of AMI.

Construction is expected to take 24 months, aiming at a Spring 2023 opening. Here are some current photos of the site:

Downtown Update - The Olive 120

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 - 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.

Church President Russell M. Nelson announced the pioneer-era temple will close December 29, 2019, and will remain closed for approximately four years while undergoing a major structural and seismic renovation. The temple is expected
to reopen in 2024 with a public open house.

“This project will enhance, refresh, and beautify the temple and its surrounding grounds,” said President Nelson. “Obsolete systems within the building will be replaced. Safety and seismic concerns will be addressed. Accessibility will be enhanced
so that members with limited mobility can be better accommodated.”

The surrounding area on Temple Square and the plaza near the Church Office Building will also be affected as existing buildings are demolished and the area undergoes renovation and restoration. The existing annex and temple addition on the
north side, which were built in the 1960s to add needed support facilities and more sealing (marriage) rooms, will be demolished and rebuilt.
















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 — ...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...


An artistic rendering of the renovated Lower Grand Hall in the Salt Lake Temple. Intellectual Reserve, Inc.

...“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...

...A new audio/visual experience will help visitors to the Conference Center auditorium, which seats 21,000 people and features an organ with 7,708 pipes, feel what it’s like to attend...concerts by the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square...

...Construction viewing areas will be available around the square, too.

“There will be multiple vistas to see what work is going on,” he said. “People will be able to see the deep excavation and the footings and foundations of the temple.”

Roberts is excited to show off the construction site with the Conference Center as a welcome and visitors center.

“It’s going to be absolutely spectacular,” he said. “You’ll have the opportunity to come down, enjoy the temple construction site, walk over and see the foundation of the temple while we’re working on it. No one’s ever had the chance to see that.
To construction guys, that’s pretty exciting.”

The remodel has a main purpose.

“First of all, seismic stability in the temple concerns the First Presidency and the Brethren 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 up on 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...

...“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...




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. Two smaller patron pavilions will replace the annex, and the sealing room addition will be
rebuilt slightly wider and more true to the design of the exterior wall that it extends.

- The recommend desk 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.

- Both live and film presentations of religious ceremonies will be available when the temple reopens, with sessions available in 86 languages.

Update, Mass Timber Coming To Salt Lake City


Luke Garrott Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/mas...er-this-month/

...Mass timber is cheaper and less environmentally harmful than concrete and steel. Carbon dioxide emissions from the building industry account for about 40 percent of global CO2 release.

Mass timber also offers builders extra height and density. It looks likely to fill an important niche between podium and frame (maximum seven stories, five by frame) and highrise concrete-and-steel construction styles.

Mass timber has been built to 18 stories in other countries, but its greatest potential in Utah seems to be in the 6-12 story range – given regulatory height limits in the city and expensive highrise building code that kicks in when a structure’s top story begins at 75 ft or higher.

Whether developers, architects, and construction professionals will embrace the new technology is mostly a question of cost and the regulatory environment. Two projects are looking to test the waters in Salt Lake City. One is imminent, the other is in its preliminary stage.



Rendering courtesy Harbor Bay Development.


Mass Timber

Mass timber posts, beams, and panels are factory pressed and glued thin layers of trees. They are strong enough to be built to 18 stories, and perform well in seismic events. As they become mass manufactured, their cost is expected to be significantly lower than concrete and steel.

Construction time is also quicker. Foundation costs are less with the absence of a podium for structured parking.

Cross-laminated timber (CLT) is the most well-known mass timber product. The latest structure of Giv Development’s Project Open will be using a product called Mass Plywood Product, or MPP.


University Street Proposal
Harbor Bay, the Chicago-area company wading into the waters of university-neighborhood land use politics in Salt Lake City, is floating a 10-12 story mass timber, likely mixed-use, all-studio project (with townhomes along one street frontage)

Project Description:


A five story wood structure with 110 residential apartment units over a concrete podium parking structure.



I actually personally had no idea this project was planned.

I found a SLC RDA PDF for affordable housing that included the project.
PROJECT SUMMARY:

Quote:
From Application – “The project's unique design will create housing, office and retail in one building. The first floor of the building will contain a small neighborhood retail space for a coffee shop or other small retail use. The second floor will contain co-working space for tenants who live in the building as well as amenities including a club house, exercise facility and large outdoor patio space. The upper floors will be a mix of housing units and smaller outdoor patio spaces. The Project will include 110 units, including 53 studios (450 square feet), 48 urban one-bedroom units (570 square feet), and 9 one-bedroom units (600 or greater square feet).”

DEVELOPER SUMMARY:


Quote:
From Application –“ Peter Corroon and his brother Christopher Corroon started a non-profit, Green Street Partners, in 2000 to build their first affordable housing project, the Sophie Apartments, a low-income housing tax credit project at 924 South 200 West. The Corroons recently completed Cornell Place, off Redwood Road and North Temple, a 146-unit project where 90% of the units serve residents between 40%-60% of Area Median Income. Peter Corroon is also the development manager for the Centro Civico Senior Housing project being built behind the Gateway shopping center. This project will include 61 units of senior housing with 80% of the units set aside. as affordable. EMG Management will manage the project. They have experience managing hundreds of affordable housing units throughout Utah.”

Update, Downtown West - Alta Vue Apartments has filed a commercial building permit


Taylor Anderson Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/aff...the-west-side/

...Plans have been released for a new apartment building that will continue the rapid growth of high-density housing near the North Temple corridor of Salt Lake City’s west side.

The proposal itself wasn’t particularly unique. Transit-area zoning allows for high-density projects, and the area’s recent status as an Opportunity Zone has made for easier financing and has flooded the area just west of Downtown with similar new housing proposals...

...The Alta Vue apartments would stretch along 800 West between 144 South and 200 South. They would be comprised of 218 units and built in a five-story building over underground parking. The building would replace single-family housing on a few of the eight lots that would be combined as part of the project...

Downtown South - Update, The Slate Project


Taylor Anderson Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/bui...s-main-street/

Central 9th continues its rapid march toward urbanization with the latest ground-breaking this week that will continue framing out the neighborhood’s main street along 900 South.

The demolition this week of the former Henries Dry Cleaners comes after years of delay due to contamination and delays from dealing with the state and may have overshadowed progress next door.

The parcels between 200 West and Washington Street (~250 West) has been a crucial underutilized space in what has otherwise become a fast-growing urban neighborhood on the fringe of Downtown. That began to change this week with the demolition of a burned-out building and ground-breaking of two separate but related projects.

The two projects will not only bring space for hundreds more people living in the small neighborhood, they’ll expand the growing retail and dining space that already makes Central 9th a space worth visiting on par with 9th & 9th and other small retail-led neighborhoods in Salt Lake City.

The ground-breaking along Washington marks the beginning of the Slate, a mixed-use project that will be the first built and over the coming 1.5 years. It will bring a five-story mixed-use project near the 900 South 200 West TRAX station.

The Slate will add 150 new units with ground-floor retail space to continue the neighborhood’s build-out. It will be the first of what will become two buildings between 200 West and Washington Street in the next two to three years.

Slate makes up what may become the western boundary of multiple developments between 200 West and Washington Street. East of the alley is the burned-out shell of a former Henries Dry Cleaners...



The Slate - 148 unit mixed-use apartment project adjacent to the Central Ninth TRAX station in Salt Lake City.
19 studio apartments - 115 one-bedroom apartments - 16 two-bedroom apartments - 58 parking stalls - 22 bike spaces - 3,530 square feet of ground-level restaurant and commercial space.

Downtown South - Update, The Sydney Project


Taylor Anderson Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/bui...s-main-street/

Next door to the above Slate Project is the Sydney...Urban Alfandre has plans for the parcel that had been held up by the Department of Environmental Quality due to ground contamination caused by the dry cleaner until this week. Bulldozers this week demolished the cleaner, which had been severely burned at some point over the past year.

Alfandre must remediate the surrounding soil before breaking ground on that 128-unit mixed-use project, known as the Sydney.

Together, both Alfandre properties will frame an activated alleyway and continue the build-out along 900 South near the TRAX station.

Downtown Update - Hyatt Regency, Convention Center Hotel - January 7th thru May 14th







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.”

Downtown Update, The West Quarter, Phase I & II

I do think it would be nice to have 3+ projects undergoing excavation at the same time. It is this that probably lead to the speed up of Phase 2. This will allow the current workers to shift from Phase 1 to Phase 2.

I do wonder how many towers we will see continue above the Phase 2 podium. Will we see all 3 towers, just the Residential and Hotel, or just the Residential. Pre-Covid, the plan was for the Residential and the Hotel to go up immediately and the Commercial tower to be added once demand was there. Does anyone know if this is still the plan or if we may see all 3 towers rise simultaneously?

Right now, SLC doesn't have any towers that are more than a block or so from Main Street...


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
money for the parking garage, then lets the developers pay it back over time as their project generates additional tax money. Salt Lake City’s RDA will, in turn, pass those payments back to the county...

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.

Updated Design of Hotel Portion of Phase I

The next planning commission meeting will discuss proposed changes to the West Quarter development. Most of it seems to be related to the appearance of the hotel portion of the project. Details and renderings (more in the document linked above):
Quote:
The West Quarter project challenges the typical 10‐acre Salt Lake City block by proposing a development centered around a new through mid‐block street, resting on a below grade parking garage. The midblock
street will break down the large block scale and provide a pedestrian connection between the Downtown on 200 South and Gateway District on 300 West. The mid‐block street will be lined with retail on both sides creating an active urban environment that is focused more on pedestrian activity
while reducing vehicular traffic.

Due to the large size of our city blocks, the existing grade of our streets and sidewalks changes deceivingly across the block frontage as well as from one block to another. The existing grade along 300 West block changes by approximately 10’‐0”, approximately half of which takes place across the project frontage. Similarly, the grade continues to change along 200 South block frontage and 200 West creating three different elevations that the mid‐street and the service alley will connect and reconcile. From that perspective the project needed to prioritize the grade elevations and their transition to maximize accessibility and street activation without making modifications to the existing streets.

300 West is a State road operated by the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) and is subject to UDOT regulations. The existing street elevation along 300 West (between the new mid‐block street and entrance to the hotel port cochere) varies between 4272.96 at the south end and 4276.30 at the north end. The hotel ground level elevation has been set at 4278 to maximize accessibility and engagement with the new mid‐block street. The grade changes and complex relationship between the existing and new mid‐block street required the design of the 300 West frontage to be reevaluated subsequently to the Planning Commission approval.
And it turns out SLC will have at least one rooftop dining and drinking experience soon! I still hope to see something higher and closer to Main Street eventually. This one seems to have a mostly northwestern-facing orientation too, so the views of downtown and the Wasatch won't be dominant.


Quote:
The current design maintains a rooftop bar along 300 West that will contribute to street and skyline activation in accordance with the city design standards and approved design. The refined building massing creates a distinct rooftop element articulated with recessed glazing, expressed columns and a continuous architectural roofline. The roofline terminates at the northwest corner of the building with a long and dramatic cantilever that, along with the glass volume below, announces the entrance to the
development. The distinct roofline will be illuminated with continuous, linear fixtures to maintain its presence and distinct expression on the night skyline while the wood clad soffit will diffuse the lighting
and create a floating effect.

In addition to the rooftop bar, that will activate the northwest corner and create a strong connection with the Vivint Smart Home Arena, the current design will provide street and skyline activation at the opposite southeast corner of the hotel. An outdoor pool deck, with views of the downtown skyline and mountains, will create additional active uses along the future extension of the mid‐block street. In addition to enhancing and connecting the second project phase, the pool deck will be visible and create a strong connection with 200 South.

The condo with this view is for-sale at that link for 900k, by the way.

Now that City Creek opened up its base, the new addition works really well with it.

Sugar House District Update, Sugar Alley Residences

Sugar Alley is a 186-Unit mixed-use development located in Salt Lake City’s prestigious Sugarhouse District. Class A amenities will be accompanied with 17,332 square feet of ground floor retail.


Rendering of the Eastern side of Sugar Alley as seen from Highland Drive. If you look in the upper right corner, you can see their other proposed project, Dixon Place.

I like that they included the Sugarmont Apartments in the background of this image.

This is a map from the Dixon Building project, which is being built across the street from the Sugarmont Project. So replace the 'Dixon Building' with the new Sugar Alley project.
I thought it might help people 'get their bearings,' so to speak. The 'proposed apartment building' in the upper left side is the under-construction Sugarmont Apartment building.

Note: The 'Sugarmont' under construction in the background, which is also neighboring to the 'Dixon Place' and the 'Sugar Alley'.
A lot of units in various stages of planning and construction will be coming online for the Sugar House District. Among these three projects alone the total is 545 units.

The article has a terrible, low-res image of the project but I was able to dig up this nice one from the developer's website:

There's also a good number of adaptive reuse projects in the works.



Here's another interesting little project from the Ogden City Planning Commission website:



Update, Northern Metro - Studios On Gordon Ave., Layton


The Studios on Gordon Avenue in Layton, Utah are coming soon. This 3-Story, 20-Unit community is designed for those on the go who like living light.

All twenty units host one-bedroom and one-bathroom. The smallest living space is 335 sf, the largest is 512 sf.

Multi-Unit Capacity - 20 Units

Yeah, I noticed that yesterday. I liked that photo you posted. Here's a little map at the bottom. I'll keep looking for something with both mountain groupings in the picture.


Northern Metro - Major Ski Resort For The Uber Wealthy Coming to Northern Utah (Ogden, Morgan County Area).

The new Wasatch Ranch Club will make two new from the ground up major ski resorts being added to Salt Lake's portfolio in the coming season.

OnTheSnow.com - https://www.onthesnow.com/news/a/637...ng-next-season

...But, when the Wasatch Ranch Club opens its ski terrain in Utah next December, as Ski Area Management (SAM) magazine is reporting, it plans to attack your wallet with gusto and all bets are off.

The Ranch Club will be larger than luxurious Deer Valley and will have only half the number of member/residents who are part of the Yellowstone Club, the other exclusive enclave in Montana. “This is a resort being built for the 1 percent of the richest 1 percent,” Utah’s KPOA radio opined as it interviewed Ranch President Bob Weaton.

Recognize the name? Weaton was Chief Operating Officer for Deer Valley for about 20 years, leading it to regularly being chosen as the best ski resort in America by magazine and website polls. There are reportedly 10 owner/investors in the ranch from across the globe, one of those being Lessing Stern, son of Deer Valley founder Edgar Stern. The ranch property was originally listed for a sale price of $42 million.

Pay dearly to play

Club membership pricing hasn’t been publicly released yet, but it will most likely top that of the Yellowstone Club which currently demands an upfront fee of $300,000, owning a condo ($4 million-plus) or private home ($5 million-plus), along with an annual “season pass” or dues topping $30,000.

But, if you’ve got the juice, the Wasatch Ranch Club will deliver mind-boggling excitement for skiers (anglers, hikers, golfers, and whatever else attracts you to pristine wilderness) as it builds out over the next 10-15 years.

First there’s the location. The ranch is only 35 minutes from Salt Lake City and, if you still need a ski fix after all that sliding, Snowbasin (where the price tag is significantly more doable) is only 10 minutes away. Ogden Airport is 15 minutes should you have your own private jet. Few Morgan County residents will be able to afford membership, so it will be mostly a community of second homes.

Heated seats and bubbles

The club’s total playground rolls over 12,750 acres and that includes some 3,000 skiable acres with a 3,600 foot vertical. Leitner-Poma of America plans to begin construction this spring on the first two chairlifts — both high speed quads. Members will be pampered with high-speed quads, planned with carriers that feature heated seats and bubbles.

The two new chairlifts together will provide access to 1,650 acres of terrain, with a top elevation of about 9,500 feet. One lift will be 8,000 feet long, so those bubbles will be welcome. Nine lifts are planned by buildout.

Pictured below, Snowbasin Ski Resort. Located on the grouping of peaks to the north of what will be the new Wasatch Ranch Club Ski Resort


There's quite a group of expanding resorts now in this immediate area. I wanted to get a perspective of the location of all of them in relationship to each other.
The Wasatch Ranch Resort will be at the top of the map, on the south side of I-84. Note: the peaks at the top veering to the right of Snowbasin



Map highlighting the location of the new Wasatch Ranch Properties in relation to the existing Snowbasin Ski Resort.


“You just don’t find this type of location in the West very often – untouched and raw with river, trees, adjacency to National Forest and an alpine setting,” said listing broker, Ken Mirr of Mirr Ranch Group, who listed the Utah ranch with his firm’s Utah Marketing Affiliate, Chris Corroon.

Owned by the heirs of the late Dick Bass, the seven-summit pioneer, original investor in Vail, and founder of Snowbird Ski Resort, and the Holding family, owners of Sinclair Oil Company, which owns Sun Valley Resort, nearby Snowbasin Ski Resort, the Wasatch Peaks Ranch has a continuous ridgeline of 11 miles that includes 24 peaks, 15 bowls and cirques, plus a 4,600 foot vertical rise on the ranch and adjacent National Forest. It’s only 15 minutes from Ogden, and 35 minutes from Salt Lake City and its international airport, making this ski property incredibly accessible.

The Land Report, known as the magazine of the American landowner, elaborates, “Matchless in size, terrain, and pedigree, this pristine private wilderness has long been eyed as America’s next great ski resort.” This is the fifth time The Land Report has awarded its top honors to Mirr Ranch Group.
