Downtown Update - Centro Civico Project

Isaac Riddle Reports - Full Article @ http://www.buildingsaltlake.com/coun...centro-civico/

...Centro Civico is a six-story, 61-unit residential building, 43 of which will be reserved for low-income seniors. The project, called John Florez Manor, will have a unit mix of studio, one and two bedroom apartments. The affordable housing units will be reserved for residents earning between 25 and 50 percent Area Median Income (AMI). Rents for the affordable units will range between $285 and $784, depending on the AMI and size of the unit.

The project will replace a vacant 0.38-acre parcel, currently used as overflow parking, on Centro Civico’s campus on the 100 South block of 600 West. The 60,000 square foot building will include a ground-floor parking structure with 23 surface stalls. Centro Civico planned the development to be transit oriented, being less than a block away from the Greektown TRAX station. The project will have a low parking ratio, with about one parking stall for every three units.

Centro Civico plans the residential building to be the first of two phases. The second phase will be the redevelopment of the organization’s civic center. The new campus will include retail space, classrooms, a black-box theater, museum, art gallery, a plaza, office space and an athletic complex...
