Downtown Updates - Residential growth continues around The Gateway

Isaac Riddle Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/pic...round-gateway/

Development around The Gateway continues full speed ahead as over 1,400 residential units are either recently completed or under construction within a block of the shopping and entertainment district, on the west side of downtown Salt Lake City. The surge of new residents should help Vestar, The Gateway’s owners, add more vibrancy to the district. The company is making strategic changes to The Gateway and is bringing in new tenants to transition the shopping district to more of an entertainment district...

Alta Gateway Station

The newly completed Alta Gateway Station apartments by Wood Partners sits just west of The Gateway between 100 South and 200 South taking up most of the west side of 500 West. Utilities along the project were buried and the parking structure is completely wrapped by residential units giving to engage the street level. A north/south mid-block walkway has been completed on the west side of the development breaking the block in two to enhance its walkability as further development occurs on the block. The four-story complex has 264 residential units and is now leasing.

The Hardware District is a multi-phase, mixed-use market rate project under construction directly north of The Gateway, between 400 West and 500 West and North Temple and 300 North.

Developed by SALT Development, the project is two full blocks long and a block wide that is over 4 football fields long and two football fields wide.

The project includes three large residential buildings with 906 apartments, 42 townhomes and two commercial structures totaling 260,000 square feet of office space. The 4th West Apartments (in red on the site plan) and the dog park are completed. The Hardware West residential building is well underway and the Hardware East residential building is now rising above the ground...

Another project designed by Architecture Belgique (see also 4th West and North Sixth apartments in the immediate area) is under construction on North Temple at 300 West. The project, the Skyhouse apartments, is just north of the Triad Center, south of West High School and east of the Hardware District.

While the 240 unit market rate development will not have any ground floor commercial, the ground floor residential units will have back patios along the street. The two floors of parking are currently under construction and four floors of residential units will sit above the parking structure that will also be wrapped with residential units on the elevations facing 300 West and North Temple.
