Brigham Young University School of Music

The 170,000-square-foot Music Building will have four levels and feature more mid-sized spaces for practice and recitals, including practice rooms located on the upper floor. The cornerstone of the new building will be a 1000-seat concert hall
built in the vineyard style. Vineyard style performance spaces are intended to keep musicians centralized, with audience seating rising above them in tiers — reminiscent of a terraced vineyard.


“While this spatial approach was primarily developed with optimal acoustics and line of sight in mind, BYU’s concert hall will also serve a distinct pedagogical purpose, as it will allow students and patrons alike to have a clear view of
performer technique,” Adams said. “The venue will be the first of its kind in the Intermountain West, marking a significant achievement in musical innovation and excellence in the region.”

Construction is expected to be completed by Fall Semester 2022. Big D Construction has been selected as the general contractor for the project, with HKS Architects as the architecture firm.

The College of Fine Arts and Communications has long been an integral part of BYU. The School of Music was one of the original four departments when the university opened doors, and the Harris Fine Arts Center is the most-used academic
building on campus, presenting more than 500 performances a year.

Southern Metro - Update, Utah Valley University School of Business - Under Construction

UVU breaks ground on the future home of Woodbury School of Business

A backhoe and an earthmover are ready to turn ground for the new Scott C. Keller Building at Utah Valley University... The $75 million, 180,000-square-foot building will be the new home of the Woodbury School of Business. UVU

The $75 million, 180,000-square-foot building will house 30 classrooms and 205 offices as well as the Bloomberg Lab, Entrepreneurship Institute, Money Management Resource Center, SmartLab and grand auditorium for large lecture
audiences and special events. Construction is estimated to be completed by late fall 2021 or early 2022.

The building will feature a Student Success Center on its second floor, which will combine placement, tutoring, internships and advisement services in one accessible location.

Classrooms will be outfitted with lecture-capture technology to help students learn remotely. The building will be constructed on the south end of UVU’s Orem campus...The new building is expected to serve up to 12,000 business students
at a time.

According to Utah State Board of Regents documents, the business school has outgrown its current home, which was one of the four original Utah Technical College buildings built in 1979.

“While the 78,000-square-foot facility has been well-maintained over the years, it cannot accommodate the renovations desired to train future business leaders. The masonry building has a post-tensioned cable floor system that cannot
be penetrated to run cables or make infrastructure upgrades,” the document states...

Southern Metro Updates - Provo's New Municipal Airport Terminal

PROVO — Provo Municipal Airport. The 100,000-square-foot facility will feature four gates, a baggage claim and Transportation Security Administration stations. The structure will be configured so it could be expanded to 10 gates.

In addition to making it more convenient for travelers, Utah Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox, who attended Wednesday’s ceremony with Provo Mayor Michelle Kaufusi and other state and county leaders, said the new terminal will offer more options
for travel and business.

”This changes everything, so it’s not just Utah County, it’s a whole bunch of rural Utah. Unless you’re close enough to St. George, this really is the best option for so many of us,” Cox said.

“It’s been a long time coming,” Gleason said, adding that Utah Valley’s growth projections are “through the roof,” so the terminal can do nothing but help alleviate pressure on I-15 and the Point of the Mountain.

According to a study by University of Utah’s Kem C. Gardner Policy Institute, Utah County is expected to claim 27.8% of Utah’s population by 2065, only over 1% less than Salt Lake County’s projected 29.1%.

Funding from the project will come from an estimated $8 million grant from the Federal Aviation Administration, about $19 million in dedicated funds from the city, $4.3 million from Utah County, as well as $9 million in existing bond money
approved during the last legislative session. Officials say it will not affect residents’ taxes.

The new terminal could bring in an annual economic impact equivalent to $15 million, according a news release from the city last year. The influx of flights, hotel stays, car rentals and jobs will boost the economy.

The terminal is expected to be completed in December 2021.

Southern Metro - Intermountain Healthcare - Construction on The Metro Wasatch Front's Second Major Primary Children’s Hospital.

By Daedan Olander for the Deseret News - https://www.deseret.com/utah/2020/11...groundbreaking

...Situated in the heart of Utah County, one of America's fastest growing areas, Lehi was chosen specifically to provide quick access for the thousands of families that live there, like the Partidas.

“Having this new Primary Children’s will be amazing, not only for us for follow-ups and things that she may need in the future, surgeries and revisions, but for other families that might be going through the same thing,” Jacob Partida said. “You know, every time you see that helicopter of Life Flight, somebody’s story begins.”

The five-story hospital will be equipped with a medical-surgical unit, pediatric and surgical newborn intensive care units, an in-patient behavioral health unit and an observation unit adjacent to the emergency department, said Lisa Paletta, administrator of the Lehi campus...

Construction progresses on a second Intermountain Primary Children’s Hospital campus in Lehi on Thursday, Nov. 19, 2020. The campus will address the health care needs
of a rapidly growing population in Utah County and an increasing need for specialty pediatric care in the area. The planned 38-acre campus will open in 2023. Laura Seitz, Deseret News

...Building the 38-acre campus, hospital, and medical office will cost an estimated $335 million, Paletta said. The second Primary Children’s location is part of Intermountain’s plan to build the nation’s model health system for children,
which it announced in January. Intermountain has pledged $250 million to see the goal through. Aside from opening the new campus, Intermountain plans to add an advanced fetal care center, an augmented Level 4 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, and an expanded cancer treatment center. It also hopes to extend its pediatric care network to offer better virtual services, as well as implement programs to help children with their mental and behavioral health. Intermountain estimates the total cost will be around $500 million...

Southern Metro - Update, Construction Orem L.D.S. Temple

...The church’s news release said the Orem temple will be located on a 16-acre site. The site is part of 250 acres Orem annexed from Utah County about five years ago, Brunst said. The mayor said the site is bordered by condos on the north, undeveloped land on the south, railroad tracks on the east and one of Orem’s last dairy farms across Geneva Road to the west. The church’s plans call for a three-story temple of 70,000 square feet. It also plans to construct a 20,000-square-foot meetinghouse on the site...

The Orem Utah Temple will be built half a mile south of I-15’s University Parkway exit near the nexus of major population,
commercial and industrial growth in Provo, Orem and Vineyard. The address — 1471 S. Geneva Road — is west across the freeway from the Utah Valley University

Southern Metro - Updates, PEG Companies Phase 1 of Freedom Commons in Provo

By Genelle Pugmire for the Daily Herald - https://www.heraldextra.com/news/loc...d1e65822a.html

...Beginning this week, PEG Companies has begun construction on Phase 1 of the Freedom Commons project that includes a large parking terrace, and upscale mixed-use retail and office spaces. It will house the headquarters for PEG.

According to Matt Hansen, vice president of development for PEG and the project manager for Freedom Commons, the first phase actually started with the building of the Hyatt Hotel on 100 North and Freedom Boulevard. It also will include the eight-story parking terrace with 654 parking stalls, and an office building...

...Freedom Commons Phase I will encompass a six-story Class-A office building, street-front restaurant and retail space with plug-in access for food trucks, festival lighting, a large courtyard, more than 650 covered parking stalls and more, according to the developers.

Freedom Commons will have a sleek urban-green design, an exclusive gym available to those who work there, and stylish areas to collaborate outdoors, according to PEG.

Freedom Commons is being developed and designed to provide a good work-life balance, to promote healthy professional relationships and encourage creative thinking. At its core it is bringing the modern-day office to Provo, according to Hansen.

“With employment, housing, dining, entertainment and public transportation in close proximity, downtown Provo is the most walkable location in Utah County,” Hansen said.

“Our company has been located here for years, so we’ve been able to experience this firsthand – it’s great to walk to lunch rather than having to get in your car every time you want to do anything outside of the office. This new development will help build on the energy that has been created downtown and provide a new option for companies that want to be part of the growth that continues to push farther south into the valley,” Hansen added...

Freedom Commons is under construction in Downtown Provo -

Office Features
• 2 Class A Office Buildings Totaling Over 280,000 Square Feet
• 6 Stories With Approximately 20,000 – 22,000 Square Feet per story
• $27.50 Per Square Foot / Full Service
• Innovative Fitness Center with Showers and Lockers
• Ample Structured / Covered Parking
Retail Features
• 1,375 SF – 5,746 SF Available
• Premium Streetscape Amenities Including Outdoor Dining Space Opportunity
• Quick Access to Bus Rapid Transit System
• Central Downtown Provo Location See Less

soon he's done with the project he's working on in Park City, he'll be working on Mill Race in Provo.

That got me all excited that it's obviously moving forward.

By The Firm of "ARCHITECTURAL RESOURCES" - Established in 1991 A / r is an award winning architectural practice with offices in Buffalo and New York City.

MILL RACE AT PROVO STATION - PROVO, UTAH - 442 UNITS | 100K SQFT OFFICE - DEVELOPMENT/CONSTRUCTION

Mill Race at Provo Station is an exciting new project that will change the skyline of Provo. Commuters will love the easy access to the Front Runner station with a walking bridge over 600 South. Residents and business tenants alike will enjoy a
top notch amenities package. The local artist community will participate in creating art to beautify the site and honor the creative process happening at Mill Race and in the surrounding community.

Mill Race at Provo Station is Inspired by the iconic mountain ranges and canyons that surround the city, Mill Race mimics the experience of exploration through a series of urban courtyards encouraging play and inquiry for all ages and
walks of life.

Mill Race at Provo Station is located on the former lumberyard/ mill run that transported and processed timber from the surrounding mountains. Elevated bridges cut through each portion of the project paying homage to the site's history.
This has been reinterpreted into a way of connecting the different living spaces and amenities that is fun and dynamic for residents.

When completed, the project will include three 5-story multi-family housing buildings, a 10-story condo tower, as well as a 12 story office tower, with ample amenity space for both residents and the surrounding community.
The focus of Mill Race is to infuse play and curiosity through access to natural recreational elements while still being situated in a growing urban environment.

Phase II is beautiful!

[delts145]

It really is Shakman. Very excited about this project and the many others about to get underway. I liked the previous plans for the Phase II of the West Quarter, but this update is incredible. These next half dozen or so tower projects are bringing some new and very interesting architectural designs to Downtown SLC. Salt Lake will be something very special by the time the next Winter Olympics in the U.S. rolls around. Major new ski resorts are developing along the greater Metro and all the current resorts are expanding as quickly as they are able in order to accommodate the continued population and tourism explosion.

Downtown Update - CW Urban's Latest Project - The June

https://citizenportal.slcgov.com/Cit...howInspection=

Address: 636 South 300 West

CW Urban has filed a Design Review for their next project, 'The June.'

The project will be 7 floors (5+2) and have 102 residential units. No retail.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

The June is a proposed apartment building to be located at 624, 636 S 300 W Salt Lake City UT. The existing neighborhood is a combination of vacant land, warehouses, and small light commercial buildings. Across the street north is the massive Post Development currently under construction. The June aims to be a modern and aesthetic boon to the neighborhood that will speak to the other new developments in the area. The building itself aims to improve the existing site. Currently, the proposed site encompasses a car wash, and, dog wash and a lot of asphalt surface parking.

Pedestrian access to the buildings is along 300 west. Future residents have access to the building via several doors along 300 west. Storefront and glass will line the street including access to stairwells and elevator lobbies, a boutique lobby entrance and a leasing office.

The new project proposes the construction of a single residential tower on top of a parking structure. It will contain 102 units, including a mix of studio, 1 bed, 2 bed, and luxury penthouse apartments. The covered structural parking provides a near 1:1 parking ratio (102 covered stalls per 102 Units). Although the D-2 zone allows fewer parking stalls (.5:1 ), we desire as much off street parking as possible.

There are 5 levels of wood framed apartments, and 2 levels of concrete parking. 2 parking levels above grade. The exterior materials are masonry brick, metal siding, stucco, glass, architectural finish concrete and CMU.

Trash collection and a backup electric generator occur on the interior of the garage and are covered from street view.

Open deck courtyard amenities for the residents are designed to inhabit the top of the PT slab of the parking. For the residents a street accessible ground level leasing office will be provided as well as a club room and resident work in spaces (something akin to weWork) on the podium level.

Downtown Update - Red Lion Hotel to be converted in hundred's of Micro Units.

Taylor Anderson Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/bui...ro-apartments/

A Denver-based team has paired up with a local developer to redevelop the Red Lion Hotel towers and surrounding site near Salt Lake City’s Downtown, the team announced this week.

The development would come in two phases, with a conversion to nearly 200 micro apartments late next year and promises of a mixed-use development soon after.

The parcels between 600 South and 700 South, West Temple and 200 West, amount to five acres of land. The project would be the latest to add hundreds of small apartments into the capital city as it continues an ongoing cycle of adding thousands more housing units in the coming years.

“We are thrilled with the opportunity to transform this unique place into an energetic mixed-use community in Salt Lake City’s historic Granary District,” said Kirsty Greer, Senior Vice President of Multifamily and Urban Mixed-Use Development at McWhinney, the Denver developer. “We look forward to connecting and collaborating with neighbors, local residents and businesses as we become part of this spirited community.”

While the release said the future projects are in the Granary District, it can more accurately claim a home Downtown. The Granary boundary ends two blocks west...

...“Amenities [include] a 13th floor rooftop lounge and clubroom with expansive views of the Wasatch Range,” they wrote in the release. “Residents will enjoy in-unit laundry, co-working spaces and a high-end fitness center.”

Downtown Update - Gateway Center - Historic 1908 Salt Lake City train station to be transformed into a luxury Marriott Autograph hotel - 'The Asher Adams'


October 13, 2021 - Taylor Anderson Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/new...elated-delays/

...While the Athens Group has begun crowd-funding its major redevelopment of the historic building into a 225-room luxury hotel, it says it is still on track to open the hotel in 2024.

The Planning Commission held no discussion when approving the second delay on Wednesday night, which the developers said was related to difficulty securing financing during the COVD-19 pandemic. Staff noted the builders have permits lined up and construction should begin next year.

The delay is required for projects that receive Planning Commission approval but don’t pull building permits within a year of that approval.

“As you know the Covid-19 pandemic severely disrupted the hospitality market in 2020 and extending into the first half of 2021,” Shannon Heringer, the Athens Group director of development, told us.

“Thankfully, market conditions and the capital markets for new hotel projects are improving,” Heringer said. “As a result we are moving forward with our construction documents with a goal of commencing construction during the first half of 2022 with anticipated completion and hotel opening in early 2024.”

Aerial of a portion of the northern segment of the Gateway Center. Pictured, the historic Union Pacific Depot, behind which the Marriott Autograph 'Asher Adams' Luxury Hotel will be constructed. Gateway is currently undergoing a major redevelopment costing in the hundreds of millions. This ongoing makeover will advance Gateway in a direction that is much more on trend in serving Downtown Salt Lake City's rapidly expanding core.

SALT LAKE CITY (KUTV) — A downtown Salt Lake City shopping center will celebrate 20 years next month. The Gateway was built just before the 2002 Olympics...

In 2016, its new owners, Phoenix-based Vestar, unveiled a $100 million plan to revitalize the mall, ...that plan remains unfinished, including a boutique hotel inside the historic Union Pacific building and an ice rink on the Olympic fountain.

Jacklyn Briggs, The Gateway marketing director, said the investment in the mall has been made, although she acknowledged some aspects of it have not come to fruition yet.

“When you think about it in the terms of, okay, you know, there’s going to be one grand opening date, that’s not the terms we think of,” said Briggs. “This is a building process that we’re doing alongside the community.”

Briggs said the hotel, which will be called Asher Adams, is still on track. Construction is set to begin next spring, she said, likely finishing in 2024.

New renderings released to 2News Friday showed what the inside and outside of the hotel will look like.

The planned outdoor ice rink is also still coming to The Gateway, Briggs said, but not until the hotel is finished.

Other things are also happening, she said, such as new restaurants, art, and other improvements on the site.

“It’s an ongoing process that we’re doing, and we’re pivoting with the community about what they need and what’s beneficial to them,” said Briggs, “so it’s sort of an ongoing organic process in that way.”...

...It's a growing, beautiful space,” Briggs said.
