The new housing developments near BYU are really looking impressive. The school has gotten so large that the housing projects seem to always be at least 4-5 stories plus, and a very large amount of units / density.

Work revives on stalled Eaglewood Village in North Salt Lake

http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/neighbo...-lowe.html.csp


www.eaglewoodvillage.net

More than three years ago, Draper-based Compass Development Group got approval from North Salt Lake’s City Council to build an ambitious mixed-use development on old gravel-pit land at the city’s south entrance.

Then the economy took a nose-dive, leaving the 96 mountainside acres to languish. But that scenario could soon change...



Mixed-use development in North Salt Lake restarted A multimillion-dollar mixed-use development just off Beck Street in North Salt Lake has been restarted after a months-long hiatus. Eaglewood Village would contain retail pads, offices and a mix of town homes and apartments on two tiers.

» At total build-out, Eaglewood Village could contain 570 residential units and 18 acres of retail and office space.

Standing on one of the sleek studio’s recycled-tire balconies, one finds an unmistakable urban flavor.

Salt Lake City’s skyline looms to the left, the mountains lay out like a postcard, and a midblock train track sits virtually on the apartment building’s porch.

But the new Artspace Commons is not exactly downtown. The modern complex, adorned with solar-panel awnings and lush patches of water-wise plants, sprouts from the old Utah Barrel and Scrap lot at 824 S. 400 West...



artspaceutah.org

Residential Apartments
Apartments (102 one and two bedrooms) starting at $770 per mo.

Hardwood floors
Granite countertop
Energy Star appliances
Washer/dryer
Open design
Washer/dryer in each unit
Kitchen pantry
Large balcony with sliding glass door
High 9’ ceilings
Generous closet space
Secure ground level storage space for bikes, skis, etc.


...Flanked by industrial warehouses, the city’s old fleet block and the Pickle Co. building, the area is quiet but a bit of a no-man’s land.

Precisely where artists are drawn.

Opening in mid-September, Artspace’s 102 affordable apartments and 50,000 square feet of artist-studio and nonprofit spaces are the exact recipe, officials say, to rejuvenate the so-called Granary District, south of The Gateway mall.

The Future of Planning – “Utah Style”

August 22, 2010

By David Boyd

Quote:
- SALT LAKE CITY — In the current economic climate it is not unusual to find local governments “tightening the belt” by curtailing activities not considered essential services. All too often this can mean the slashing of planning projects and departmental staff.

- But what we are seeing is that smart communities, like smart businesses, are using the laggard pace of the present economic downturn to lay the foundation for a high functioning and successful future. By engaging in highly participatory and increasingly regional-scale planning initiatives, these communities are developing the civic infrastructure necessary to succeed in the 21st century.

- A prime example is the Greater Wasatch Area of Utah. It includes 10 counties and over 90 cities and towns, sandwiched between the Wasatch Mountain Range and the Great Salt Lake — a 100-plus mile linear oasis bordered by rugged mountain terrain and desert, home to over 80 percent of Utah’s residents. It was settled in the early 1840′s by Mormons led by Joseph Smith, who conceived a plan for the area composed of one-mile square blocks with wide streets and interconnected villages limited to no more than 20,000 residents. These ideas were later implemented by Brigham Young, creating the pattern of development that today dominates Salt Lake City and its environs.

- In the late 1980s, a group of concerned civic leaders coalesced around the issues of environmental protection, economic development, and maintenance of quality of life. This group, the Coalition for Utah’s Future, would later forge the foundation for the organization known today as Envision Utah. Created in 1997, it brought together key public and private stakeholders to help to overcome the jurisdictional fragmentation and “bunker mentality” held among units of local government. A key element: giving local residents, by the power of scenarios and choice, the ability to shape planning and growth management issues within the region.

- Envision Utah’s first chairman was Robert Grow, a local business leader with strong collaborative leader skills. He explains:

“The Envision Utah Approach has become a way of life in Utah with its special blend of discovering and seeking to satisfy community values in all our planning and visioning, using scenarios of the future to show the public and officials the consequences of our collective choices, and leading change with diverse and trusted stakeholders and champions. This approach to problem solving and focusing precious civic and financial resources on highly leveraged strategies to preserve and enhance Utah’s quality of life is finding great acceptance as the best way to meet the challenges of tomorrow.”

- Most critically, the now tried and true Envision Utah “model” of fostering stakeholder involvement around scenario development and evaluation has helped to build a capacity for civic engagement that enables further community planning initiatives. “Envision Utah struck a chord when they recognized that many people cared about what they were leaving behind for their children”, says Brenda Scheer, Dean of the College of Architecture & Planning at the University of Utah. “The magic of Envision Utah is that everybody collaborates for common good, even though we may disagree on methods.”

- The net result: a vibrancy that is lacking in so many other regions of our nation today. As a practicing professional planner, I’ve found it refreshing to visit a region that is so intently focused on moving forward with high value placed on the quality of civic engagement, and with leaders so committed to to the value of place — and collaborative decision making. In the words of Alan Matheson, executive director of Envision Utah: “There is a growing willingness to collaborate — among agencies, jurisdictions, organizations. Broad participation and collaboration are now the default mode for making significant regional decisions.”

Downtown - Salt Lake City's Convention Center To Become National Solar Power Darling

Salt Palace Convention Center


Salt Palace solar array paying off before it’s built

http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/home/50...alace.html.csp

A Salt Palace solar array that would outshine any other rooftop grid in the nation is brightening the Beehive State’s bottom line — even before the first panel is in place.

Although the installation is months away, word of it helped Salt Lake County win a National Association of Home Builders convention.

Scott Beck, president and CEO of the Salt Lake Convention and Visitors Bureau, announced Wednesday the association picked Utah for its 2011 green building conference after learning of plans to place more than 11,000 solar panels on the roof of the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center...



Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Salt Lake County Mayor Peter Corroon, along with partners from NexGen Energy and Bella Energy, sign a solar panel after announcing plans to build the nation's largest rooftop array atop the Calvin L. Rampton Salt Palace Convention Center. The installation will cover 600,000 square feet and include more than 11,000 solar panels.

Solar array, by the numbers

It will produce about 2.6 megawatts of solar energy, reportedly making it the nation’s largest rooftop array.

It will generate enough electricity to power 261 homes.

It will span 600,000 square feet, about the size of six football fields.

It will provide about a quarter of the Salt Palace’s annual energy.

It will give the county a cleaner power source, avoiding 4.7 million pounds of carbon-dioxide emissions (equivalent to burning 242,350 fewer gallons of gasoline a year).

It will start producing power in mid-January.



Located in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City, the Salt Palace Convention Center is perfect for meetings and activities of any size. It ranks with a select category of convention facilities that can offer over a half million square feet of contiguous exhibit space.
From the snowflake chandeliers and custom-designed cottonwood-patterned carpet to its five-story main concourse, the building is part architectural showpiece, part modern art sculpture and all business.

Station Park Awakens

Updated Plans

CenterCal Properties

Farmington, Harmons breaks ground in Farmington, store No. 16

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7...ore-No-16.html
...The future 70,000 square-foot store, the 16th store in the 78-year-old family-owned chain, is expected to open May 1 at Farmington's Station Park.

Station Park is a mixed-used development, fronted by California-based CenterCal Properties and planned to be a power retail center for central Davis County.

A 14-screen CineMark movie theater, and other yet-to-be-named tenants, are expected to open the same day...

...Trottier said he expects CenterCal to announce more Station Park tenants in coming weeks.


Additional Info,Farmington Station Park Update:

Report By Craig Frazer, Realtor, CRS, GRI, CLHMS
RE/MAX Metro


I attended a meeting last night at the CenterCal offices in Farmington in which members of the city council (along with the mayor) and Craig Trottier, Vice President of Development for CenterCal Properties discussed the current status of the Station Park commercial/retail development adjacent to the Farmington FrontRunner train station. In spite of the current economic conditions which have slowed the project, it is ready to move forward with two publicly confirmed tenants in the project. Most everyone has heard that Harmons will be opening a store in Farmington Station. In addition, Cinemark has confirmed their plans for a multi-screen theater complex within the project. There has been additional leasing activity but at this time no other tenants can be publicly announced.

Sufficient tenant commitments are in place, however, to allow for work on the project to continue. It is anticipated there will be additional site work done beginning in late April or early May with construction on the Harmons and Cinemark facilities moving forward in August. At this time, both Harmons and Cinemark are projecting a late spring opening (April/May) although that timetable has some flexibility to move faster if economic conditions warrant.

There was a good deal of discussion regarding the layout and design of the “town square” component of the development and current design concepts reflect a small town central park type of theme. The current make up of the project continues to consist of a mix of street level retail operations with commercial office space contained on the second floors of most buildings. The project continues to reflect a 130 room hotel component and there is serious discussion taking place of adding a complete healthclub/spa facility within the project. The intent is to have a good mix of national, regional and local retailers in this complex. Many of the retailers who have expressed interest do not currently have facilities in Davis County. For several others, this will be their first facilities in northern Utah.

The plans call for 12-18 restaurants in the project with upper end dining establishments circling the perimeter of the interior park area. It was clearly pointed out during the discussion that there are NO plans for a “food court” type of set up. The vast majority, if not all, of the dining options will provide “dine in” capabilities. The less formal dining options will most likely be located near the theater area but it is currently designed so that food services will be available throughout the project.

If the economy improves sufficiently for retailers to begin expanding and entering into lease agreements, the Station Park project could be fully operational by late 2011. However, it would not be unexpected for full build and lease out to occur by the spring of 2012.

Overall, it was a good meeting attended by approximately 15-20 residents. There is a design model of the complex available and I would encourage other Farmington residents to swing by and take a look. The CenterCal leasing office is located at 42 North 650 West in Farmington.
