SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's impending move to the Pac-12 will be accompanied by plenty of changes.

None, however, will be as visible on campus as the construction of a new $16 million football facility on Guardsman Way. The 57,640-square-foot complex will replace the Dee Glen Smith Center, which was refurbished in 1991.

Construction is expected to begin in December and take 12-16 months to complete.

"It's huge. We are in dire need of a new football center," said Utah coach Kyle Whittingham. "We have some excellent facilities here at Utah. The football center is not one of them and that's something that needs to be updated, upgraded, redone, and we're going to do that starting in December."

The new football facility, which will be attached to the Alex Smith Strength and Conditioning Room, is going to house state-of-the-art sports medicine and athletic training space, a multipurpose dining hall, a team locker room, offices for the coaches and support staff, equipment storage, a player lounge, a Hall of Fame, a team auditorium with space for 150 athletes and coaches, plus meeting rooms for each position group with enhanced video capabilities.

"Going into the Pac-12, it's an all-out arms race," Whittingham said. "Everybody is building the bigger and better buildings, and we've got to keep up with everybody."

The new facility, he added, was the selling point in recruiting this year. Football recruits are shown a building model and drawings of what is expected to be in place well before the 2012 season.

SALT LAKE CITY — The southeast view from the newest academic
building on the University of Utah campus overlooks the grandeur of
the Wasatch Mountains and the panorama of the Salt Lake Valley —
scenery that should provide inspiration for students "to reach for the
top."...

..."Students care a lot about the environment that they are educated
in," Randall told the Deseret News. "(This building) will give us perhaps
the best facility in the United States to (teach them)."

Upon completion, the project will total 188,623 square feet on nine
levels. Built in two phases, the first phase will open for use in January
2012, while Phase II is scheduled for completion in 2013...

I haven't taken the time to walk through Temple Square but Saturday I looked down between Richards Court and saw that the place was packed. Just imagine what Salt Lake will be like once a couple thousand more apartments and condo's are built and filled in the downtown area.

restored to it original look with the steps leading up to a main entrance
in the arch... Also I wonder if they are going to do the same thing to
the west of the 100 south entrance. There is a small part of the
original foundation exposed on the south west corner of the
building (probably a car hit it). It would look nice if they restored the
whole thing.

Downtown Updates - Public Safety Building

Following: Renderings of the future Public Safety Building in Salt Lake City. The building
will be net zero, producing as much energy as it uses.

"The goal is for the building to produce as much energy as it uses," said lead designer David Brems of GSBS
Architects. If that goal is achieved it would be Utah's first "net zero" building, a designation claimed by only a
handful of structures across the country.

The building will be headquarters for Salt Lake City's police and fire departments. It will also house the city's
Emergency Operations Center and 911 dispatch center...

"There's enough solar power on the building to run that emergency operations center if everything
else is disrupted," Brems said.

Downtown Updates

Salt Lake City Ronald McDonald House plans expansion

By Brennan Smith - The Salt Lake Tribune

http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/54...omano.html.csp

...The facility addition, expected to cost around $11 million to build, will increase capacity from 25 to 71 rooms, 115 to 323 beds and 19,645 to 57,608 square feet.

The location at 935 E. South Temple served 4,078 people in 2011, but the charity said space limitations forced it to turn away 522 families.

Carrie Romano, executive director for Ronald McDonald House Charities of the Intermountain area, said the extension will help serve 500 more families per year...

The fancy part of the building on the left, is centered on the view corridor up 900 East. This should make a lovely visual terminus to that street!

delts145 · #**3053** Posted **Jun 30, 2012, 11:01 PM**

That's good to know Old & New. So, when traveling north on 900 East, this will be a very attractive site line. I'm alway's in favor of beautiful site lines. That 's one of the formost things that makes Paris so beautiful.

Southern Metro Update,

Provo named best in country for business and jobs

Aerial view of the Southern Metro portion of the Wasatch Front. Population 2011 - 540,834

By Jason Lee, Deseret News

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8...-and-jobs.html

SALT LAKE CITY — The nation's business and jobs mecca is located in Utah County, according to one of the country's top business publications.

This week, Forbes released its 14th annual "Best Place for Business and Careers," listing Provo ahead of Raleigh, N.C., and Fort Collins, Colo. Last year’s top city, Raleigh, N.C., dipped to No. 2 as living costs climbed to 5 percent above the national average.

Also cracking the top 10 was Ogden at No. 6, with Salt Lake City coming in at No. 24 on the list of the top metro areas nationwide...

Provo's $16 billion economy was bolstered by Brigham Young University — the third-largest private college by enrollment in the nation. In 2010, the school ranked behind only the University of Utah and MIT in the number of start-up companies produced through university research.

Forbes said Provo also enjoyed the third best job growth in the country last year at 3 percent, as well as the lowest violent crime rate in the U.S. The city also had the tenth lowest overall crime rate nationally, with a population that has doubled in the past 20 years...

Southern Metro Update - Lehi - Adobe's Coming / It's a Big Deal

http://cityhomecollective.com/author/cody/

By Cody Derrick

Cody Derrick is the founder of cityhomeCOLLECTIVE, but he is far from your average realtor. Rather, he’s a rustic culturalist with a hint of urban sportsman. He’s the neighbor you always wanted. Cody offers every client his talent to help you uncover the place you call ______________ (insert: home, work, heaven, etc.). With a unique pairing model, which gives rise to the client mantra ‘love where you live’, Cody is pioneering a cultural and social movement for realtors spanning the globe.

I speak often to the importance of loving where you live. As it so happens, I’m just as adamant that you love where you work. Your happiness depends on both, actually. Thus, in the interest of conquering some simple math, we have an equation that will answer both calls. Live in Utah + work at Adobe = hooray.

It seems like a foolproof fix, people. According to Forbes‘ ranking of “America’s Best Places to Live“, Utah was ranked number one. Not second, or a humble position in the top ten…first [we happen to agree with all our might]. Couple that with Adobe’s landing on the list of Fortune’s “100 Best Companies to Work For, 2012” [for the 13th consecutive year, no less], and simple math becomes your best ally. Adobe will soon be a massive, modern, thriving part of Utah [a few stats can be found below the photos], and we trust that Forbes and Fortune know what they’re talking about. We have personal proof; my brother-in-law, Jeff, has lived in Utah and worked for Adobe for years…happy. Our new clients, Eva and David, are relocating to Utah for the same, simple reason [Adobe]…also happy.

COLLECTIVELY speaking, we’re really happy about the building. See for yourself — it’s a beautiful and modern project, to be modest. We stopped on our return trip from the Buddhist retreat, and we were aptly impressed. You should be, too. It’s a big deal.

Building will bridge 90 feet across Cabelas Blvd. at a 17.5′ clearance
Building will be 4-5 stories tall, stand over 70′ above the road, and will be built on 60-foot deep concrete piles
Project total cost $100+ million
Construction of phase one began June, 2011 with completion anticipated in October, 2012
Adobe’s campus could be expanded to accommodate future growth and become as large as 600,000 square feet with space for up to 3,000 employees
Timing of future phases will be dictated by future growth
State-of-the-art mechanical and electrical systems provide exceptional energy efficiency
The building will be LEED certified

Southern Metro Updates - Lehi

The Outlets at Traverse Mountain Announces Stores, Plans

Salt Lake Magazine

June 29th, 2012

By Jessica Adams, Salt Lake Magazine

“Hey, honey, wanna go to Cabela’s?” is a phrase women hear all too often any given Saturday, particularly during hunting season. Considering the underwhelming population of exuberant female shoppers in the store, it's safe to guess the request is commonly denied or, at best, negotiated with the promise of cinnamon almonds and a big ol’ tub of buttery pretzels.

Fast-forward this same scenario to November 2012 and the grand opening of the Outlets at Traverse Mountain, a 225,000 square foot, 50-store shoppers paradise just of I-15 in Lehi. Within a short walking distance from Cabela’s, you’re there.]

Salt Lake Magazine

“This is not your grandmother’s outlet,” says Teri Sunderland, General Manager of the Outlets at Traverse Mountain. “This is a place that [people] will love and not visit one store, two stores or even three stores, [they will] plan it as a destination.”

With factory store tenants like Nike, Coach, Polo Ralph Lauren, Gap, Banana Republic, J.Crew, Calvin Klein, OshKosh B’gosh, Chico’s, Gymboree, Carter’s, Tommy Hilfiger, Skechers, Van Heusen, Vans, Izod, Famous Footwear, Bass, Levi's and newcomers Le Creuset, GoLite and Under Armour, there’s plenty to keep you occupied.

So what of the outlets we already have over the mountain in Park City? “This is nothing like that,” says Steven Craig, President and CEO of outlet development firm Craig Realty Group. “While we’ll have some of the same stores and some different stores, what we’ve added is creating a space to have a superior experience.”

The heated outdoor walkways between storefronts will be covered with glass skylights, and a large common area will feature a 50-foot fireplace, making winter shopping that much more enjoyable. Come November, the inner courtyard will feature a 100-foot live Christmas tree, which will be lit at the Grand Opening on November 15.

Salt Lake Magazine

A few restaurants are also expected, along with options for tide-me-overs at Auntie Anne’s pretzels and Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory.

So who cares if your husband wants to spend the day at Cabela’s? With a place like this in your grasp, we say let him.

Urbana on 11th Condos

Neighborhood: Sugarhouse

List Price: 209,000.00-441,000.00

Property Profile: 30 units on 5 levels; optional lofts in a brick-constructed building in the heart of Sugar House. The building features everything from live/work units to 2 bedroom ‘plus’ units (units with 2 bedrooms plus a patio or loft).

Our Opinion: Typically, we choose our ‘One-Off’ based on the uniqueness of an individual home or condo. Today, our choice is made because the location is as unique as the building. New construction in the heart of Sugar House is as uncommon as it is dreamy. Your own address on 2100 S and 1100 East… that cannot be topped.
