The Marmalade District is continuing its expansion with two adjacent developments moving forward by developers TAG SLC. The developers plan to build two adjacent residential buildings at the 300 West block of Reed Avenue that will add a combined 25 residential units. On April 11, the Salt Lake City Planning Commission approved with conditions a planned development request for the smaller of the two projects, a four-unit townhome project at 361 West.

The larger project will be a four-story, 21 units residential building that will be directly west of the townhomes. The projects, collectively referred to TAG Reed Avenue, will replace a single family home and a vacant lot on 0.35-acres.

The apartment building, at 365 West, will consist of three floors of residential above a groundfloor parking podium. All 21 units will be one-bedroom apartments. The building will have seven rental units per floor and will front Reed Avenue. Parking will be accessed via a small alleyway that will bisect both buildings...

Wasatch Community Gardens (WCG) is ready to expand not only their reach but their flagship garden at the 600 East block of 800 South as part of their CityGarden project. The organization focuses on urban agriculture, youth mentorship and community education and plans to build a small campus directly east of their existing Grateful Tomato Garden...In their capital campaign post, the organization describes its vision for the CityGarden project as a an “urban agriculture hub that will house our offices, a commercial kitchen to use for youth and adult classes, a workshop space for our education programs, and demonstration gardens to help community members learn to grow and eat healthy food.”

There is a single family home on each of the three parcels. All three homes are in the Central City Historic District and will be preserved and converted into new uses. WCG will convert the home closest to the original garden into an education center. The home has a significant setback and the front yard will become additional garden space...

Kensington Avenue between Main and State Streets already has a diverse amount of amenities, including a costume shop, microbrewery, two Asian food markets and a restaurant. Later this year the block will also be home to new residential units. Construction is well underway on the M15 Lofts, a 20-unit townhome project at the northeast corner of the intersection of Kensington Avenue and Main Street in the Ballpark Neighborhood.

The M15 Lofts, by Axis Architects, will be for-sale units with both two and bedroom homes available. The townhomes will range in size from 1,331 to 1,576 square feet. Each home will be three-stories with a two-car garage on the first level, kitchen and living space on the second and bedrooms on the third. Each unit will have a master bedroom and balconies on the second and third floors.

The project consists of two buildings with 10 units in each. One building will front Main Street to the west while the second building will front a small alleyway to the east. Parking in both buildings will be accessed via a small private driveway that bisects both buildings.

The units will be setback from the street level to allow for small, private gated front yards. Most units will also feature a bonus room at the main entryway...
