You've got everything nice and concice, but it will take until 2015 to complete this. The 30-story Cowboy Partners Bldg is a "maybe," the "Utah World Trade Center" is a "lets talk this thing up..." Let's hope Salt Lake gets everything that's being talked about.

It sucks about the 600-foot building, the Zion Social Hall(http://www.emporis.com/en/wm/bu/?id=...akecity-ut-usa), The Eagle Gate Plaza (original plans were 39 stories), The Twin 40-Story Towers (to be built by Kashogi), The American Towers (why didn't they just build ONE BIG 52-story Bldg?). And so on and so forth.

I do love SLC, I just liken it to the Rodney Dangerfield of cities - No Respect!

[Comrade]

Ok, I updated it. A lot has changed since the original one.

[Eigenwelt]

Where's the map?

[Comrade]

As I said in the original post, there is no map. That was from the old project lists and I haven't made one for this updated version.

Anyway, here are construction pics of the HP site:

It's good to see that there's stuff going on in Salt Lake, as far as the skyline growth goes. But I think that much taller buildings need to be built. Buildings taller than 450 ft. Salt Lake isn't all that impressive compared to a lot of well-known cities in the country. And I think that if Salt Lake wants to become the "heart of the Intermountain Empire," we'll need to start impressing people.

We need a mix of quality AND quantity.

Updates East Bench - Misc. - University of Utah

Health Sciences garage, roadway and connector

Construction of a new 1,400-car parking garage and the road realignment on North Medical Drive is underway. The garage, located between the IJ & Jeanné Wagner Jewish Community Center and the Kathryn F. Kirk Center for Comprehensive Cancer Care and Women’s Cancers, will feature a lowered roadway entrance and a pedestrian connector to University Hospital so people on foot can avoid the traffic on North Medical Drive. The road realignment will raise North Medical Drive, allowing for better access into the North Medical Garage and the new parking garage. Additionally, two new roundabouts will be added at the entrance to University Hospital and the entrance to the new parking garage to improve traffic flow.

Hopefully the natural scenery won't be completely obliderated by "urban" development.

The high-traffic corner near Sugar House Park that drew community attention last year over nixed plans for a Kum & Go gas station remains in play for development.

A Malad City, Idaho, company applied in November on behalf of the property’s owner to demolish the former Sizzler restaurant that has stood empty for years on the northwest corner of the park at 2111 S. 1300 East.

Records show the permit is nearing approval. Fencing has gone up around the 0.82-acre property and rigs are poised to help raze the iconic eatery and haul its guts off to the landfill. The empty building has seen incidents of trespassing, according to a real estate agent representing the owner, a family company in Salt Lake City called Romney Farr Properties.


The choice spot by the park just off Interstate 80 is considered one of the more commercially desirable locations in and around Sugar House’s rapidly growing central business district.

The site got re-marketed to other potential developers over the summer after the city planning commission vetoed plans in April for a Kum & Go convenience store and gas station there, citing environmental and traffic concerns. Few recent developments in what’s often dubbed Salt Lake City’s second downtown have drawn that much public opposition, with hundreds of residents weighing in.

The Iowa-based Kum & Go chain has since been bought by the parent company of Maverik, the Salt Lake City-based convenience store chain, but Kum & Go is still obligated to a 20-year lease it signed on the property adjacent to the popular park, according to broker Kip Paul of Cushman & Wakefield.

Maverik is said to have a new developer interested in building a hotel on the property, according to Paul. Attempts to reach officials with FJ Management, Maverik’s parent company, were not immediately successful.

The notion of returning the property to some kind of hospitality use has come up before. Past efforts, though, have hit challenges over a lack of available parking space, getting additional building height approved under the property’s existing zoning and the thorny prospect of obtaining a state-authorized liquor license in proximity to park grounds.

The planning commission’s 9-1 vote to reject Kum & Go’s application for a conditional use permit there also cited potential impacts on the park, air quality and secondary water supplies in nearby Parleys Creek.

Since then, city planners have also drafted a new set of minimum distances that newly built gas stations can be from rivers, streams and other bodies of water, as well as parks and open spaces.

The Sugar House Community Council, meanwhile, has seen several ideas for the property since the gas station was turned down, including the prospect of new apartments, but those options are severely limited, according one key member.

“You can’t build a luxury apartment building if you don’t have parking,” said Judi Short, chair of the council’s land use and zoning committee. Going underground for parking, she noted, is precluded by a nearby earthen dam.

A proposal to preserve the space through a land swap involving property closer to Highland High School fell through, Short said. The city has also sought to purchase the property, without success.

For now, the site’s future after the Sizzler goes remains a question mark.

Salt Lake City Mayor outlines big future for Main Street, families in Annual report

By Carter Williams for KSL.com - Full Article @ https://www.ksl.com/article/50861480...-annual-report

SALT LAKE CITY — Utah's capital is now more populated than it has ever been and its growth has no signs of slowing down anytime soon, something that may have all started with a nudge from the 2002 Winter Olympics and Paralympics.

So, with the prospect of a second Winter Olympics exactly 10 years away, Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall says she believes the city is poised for another major boost. But her vision for the future of the city, which she outlined Tuesday evening in her annual State of the City address, goes beyond the next year or next decade...

"Our momentum is only growing, in reach and intensity," she said, speaking inside the Grand Lobby of the Eccles Theater on Main Street. "We are setting the stage for not just tomorrow, but for the next 10 years, 20 years and even 50 years."

Main Street by Jeffrey D. Allred

...Mendenhall's vision includes turning Main Street into a walkable promenade following four years of testing the Open Street program where the streets are temporarily closed off to cars. Those weekends, according to the city, generated an impact of about $53 million during 116 collective days over the past four years, while downtown sales during the first three Open Streets events jumped by an average of 19% compared to 2019...

...The project is one of the few things planned for downtown, which is on pace to double in population in the coming years. That includes more multifamily and single-unit projects that aim to mold downtown into the community it was before families began fleeing into the suburbs in the 1960s.

Meanwhile, Salt Lake City leaders intend to keep downtown Salt Lake City at the forefront of commerce, finance, faith, culture and sport across the region. Dee Brewer, executive director of the Salt Lake City Downtown Alliance, called these all "major drivers in our economy."

"The downtown social economy is thriving and opportunities to build on this momentum are multiplying with active efforts to secure the Winter Olympic Games, Major League Baseball and the National Hockey League teams," he said...Note: Since the writing of this article the NHL will be locating downtown Salt Lake City this upcoming season. In addition, a major entertainment district surrounding the remake of the Delta Center will begin in earnest.)...

...A few other projects were brought up in Mendenhall's 50-minute speech:

The mayor said she hopes the Green Loop, a 5-mile park space circling the downtown, will be completed in time for the 2034 Winter Olympics, even if she believes her administration "won't see the opening."
The city is developing a five-year "action plan" to continue to conserve water, including changes to the city's top water users to improve water efficiency. A report is expected to be released "in the coming days" that will outline ways to better conserve water at city-owned facilities.
Salt Lake City expects to finalize a plan to send 13 billion gallons of reclaimed water to the struggling Great Salt Lake every year, fulfilling a goal the mayor called for in her speech last year.
The city will launch this year's e-bike and landscaping equipment exchange programs in the early summer.
While the event took place downtown, Mendenhall also hopes the momentum at the heart of the city carries into other neighborhoods. The mayor also outlined goals for other parts of the city during her speech, including the opening of the first phase of Glendale Regional Park later this year...

From South to North, a few of the recent additions to Main Steet's continuing buildup.

650 South Main

Developed by the Patrinley Group, 650 Main is a new 10-story, Class A office building on Salt Lake City’s growing south side. HOK designed the building to offer an amenity-rich experience tailored to meet the demands of today’s workforce. With its prime downtown location and unparalleled offerings, 650 Main is a unique workplace destination.

The building’s dynamic design captures the attention of visitors approaching from different directions. The Main Street facade has a clean and transparent look that encourages interactions with street-side activities. As people move east along 600 South, the structure transitions from a more expansive base to a sleeker tower, featuring a striking metal panel grid that stands out against the glazing. The building’s massing is carefully composed, with metal panels and alternative glass systems adding texture and intrigue...

...As a LEED Gold-certified building, 650 Main sets an excellent standard for health and sustainability. Large, open floor plates and floor-to-ceiling glass maximize daylight and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and skyline. Outdoor terraces on the fifth and ninth floors offer employees spaces to recharge. The HVAC system delivers 30% more air ventilation than local codes require, further enhancing the building’s environmental performance.

650 Main’s ground floor is a bustling hub of activity, with a variety of retail and restaurants combining with Wi-Fi-enabled outdoor gathering areas to give tenants alternative “third places” to work or socialize.

6th & Main

Directly East and across the street from 650 S. Main is 6th & Main, a mixed-use development sitting at the gateway intersection of 600 South and Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City. It consists of 175 units and 10,100 sf of retail within an 8-story type III over type I structure. Residential amenities include a street-level lounge, co-working business center, fitness center, pool, spa, and an indoor/outdoor roof terrace with sweeping views of Downtown Salt Lake City and beyond.

New 6th South TRAX Station

Sandwiched in between the two new Main St. developments of 650 S. and 6th & Main is the new 6th South TRAX light rail station.

Trains come in and exit a new Utah Transit Authority TRAX station at 600 S. Main Street in Salt Lake City on Tuesday.

At the top of Main St., Downtown rooftop gardens continue to mature on the 21,000-seat Conference Center.
