With the coming Inland Port, SLC will see most residential, industrial and commercial in the next decade.

SLC is already at an all time high for population. Most feel that we are already over 200K and some feel that there is a good chance that the city will be over 210K if not around 220K come the 2020 census. This is without increasing boarders/annexing, all through actual growth. Downtown population will have gone from around 5K to between 12K - 15K (doubling to tripling) in 10 years.

Sure, we may have only completed 3 20+ story towers since 2010 so far but we should have 2 finish in either late 2020 or early 2021: Tower 8 and 151. There are very good odds that Held will start soon as well.

We will continue to see more infill be built throughout downtown and the surrounding neighborhoods which will further increase the population of the city which in turn helps in corporate recruitment and expansion.

The best thing that SLC has going for it is the poor planning of the suburbs, especially Lehi and Draper. The changing tide of tech development is shifting slowly away from the suburbs and SLC will be more readily able to handle the shift. There are many Tech companies located downtown currently and many that want to be there as well but the space isn't available currently. This may be changing soon with Tower 8 and Patrinely.
