Once-stalled Station Park development moving ahead with yet another store

Updated Plans

CenterCal Properties

By Leslie Mitchell
The Salt Lake Tribune


Farmington • For a project stalled for nearly two years, a lot is going on these days at the Station Park shopping center development in Davis County.

Sporting goods store Sports Authority recently took out a building permit for a 42,000-square-foot store, joining a nearly 70,000-square-foot Harmons grocery store and a 55,000-square-foot Cinemark theater complex already under construction and set to open in early summer.


A fourth tenant, home furnishings store HomeGoods, has a 25,000-square-foot store in the works, and nearly two dozen other smaller specialty retailers are signing leases for another 150,000 square feet of space, developer CenterCal said. The developer said those leases will be announced in the coming months.

After years of delays, the stores now in development at Station Park could be open for business by summer on the 67-acre site at the intersection of Interstate 15, Legacy Parkway and Frontrunner commuter-rail station.

CenterCal credits family-owned Utah grocery chain Harmons for breaking a logjam created by the nation’s economic downturn. Bad economic times have hurt the retail sector nationwide. That caused scores of business failures and put numerous plans for new stores, shopping centers and other retail developments on indefinite hold. Other projects like Station Park, that weren’t started before the downturn, were canceled altogether.

But the Utah-based Harmons chain elected to move forward on its new store late last year, breaking ground in September. Completion is scheduled for May 2011.

“Harmons really got everybody else moving,” said Craig Trottier, vice president of development at Los Angeles-based CenterCal Properties, which owns and operates seven shopping centers in the West. “It was a matter of getting that first major anchor [store].”

Trottier said CenterCal is finalizing plans to construct a half-dozen new buildings on site to house the smaller retailers. Construction is set to begin on those buildings early next year, with the goal of tenants moving into their spaces during the summer.

All told, between the large anchor tenants and the specialty retailers, the center could have a total of 250,000 to 300,000 square feet of retail space occupied by summer, Trottier said.

Already, the Harmons store is nearly walled off, the first step toward starting on the store’s interior, which will be more elaborately fashioned than a typical grocery store. It is designed to be a major anchor of the 1-million-square-foot Station Park project.

“We’re bringing something that we think is unique to the area,” said Bob Harmon, an owner of Harmons City Inc., which operates 13 grocery stores in Utah.

The new Farmington store will include a large deli with chef-prepared entrees as well as a floral department, pharmacy, credit union and even a gourmet-cooking accessories section. The store also includes classrooms for cooking schools and an upscale seating area with a fireplace, dining area, couches and Wi-Fi access.

Harmon said his store hopes to capitalize on the commuters who travel daily between the Ogden area and Sandy via Frontrunner, buses, and light rail.

“The new store is only a few hundred yards from the Frontrunner station,” he said.

The Station Park store is one of several projects that Harmons, which has stores in Roy, Ogden, the Salt Lake area, Orem and St. George, is working on. The company also is building a new store in the City Creek development in downtown Salt Lake City that is scheduled for completion in late 2011. Harmons also is remodeling Emigration Market in Salt Lake City and is set to reopen that store early next year.

“We definitely have our hands full,” Harmon said.

Like the Harmons store, the theater project being developed by Cinemark Holdings is sizeable, with 14 movie screens.

Sports Authority has not yet formally announced the new store, and a spokesman did not immediately return comment. But its size indicated on the building permit signals the company likely will build one of the larger-store designs, not one of the smaller types of stores the chain has been experimenting with elsewhere.

For his part, Trottier is happy to be moving forward on Salt Lake City's Station Park at a time when “there’s not a whole lot else going on nationally,” he says. “To be able to do this project in this economic environment, we feel very fortunate.”

Station Park by CenterCal











STATION PARK - Station Park will be one of the preeminent lifestyle shopping centers in the Salt Lake City region. The project will consist of approximately eight hundred thousand square feet of retail, entertainment, restaurant, office and hotel space. Located at the intersection of Interstate 15, Highway 89, the new Legacy Parkway and the new Utah Transit Authority Commuter Rail, Station Park will enjoy the highest daily traffic counts to be found in the State of Utah. At this intersection Station Park will be well positioned to serve some of the strongest household demographics from Salt Lake City to the suburbs to the north.

Station Park will be home to a broad selection of apparel, home goods, entertainment and restaurant opportunities.

Downtown ~ District Courthouse Project

Approval given to begin construction of $211-million District Courthouse


An artist's rendering shows the new, $211 million federal courthouse that will be 10 stories tall and take three years to build. (Jack Benco)

Additional, more detailed renderings: http://www.tphifer.com/#/salt-lake-city-courthouse

By ksl.com
SALT LAKE CITY -- After more than a decade of work, the building permit for a new $211 million U.S. District Courthouse in Salt Lake City has been secured.


Thursday, the House passed the authorization resolution, which is the legislative approval needed for construction of the courthouse to begin.

The new district courthouse will sit west of the Frank E. Moss Courthouse and house tenants, including the U.S. Marshals Service, and the 10th Circuit Branch Library.

Its construction is expected to bring 700 new jobs to Utah over the next three years.

Earlier Article:
By Emiley Morgan
The Deseret News

SALT LAKE CITY — It took a little pushing and shoving, physically and economically, but with the blessing of the president and Congress, Utah will be home to a new federal courthouse to the tune of $211 million.


The new United States District Courthouse for the District of Utah will complete the block between Main and West Temple and 300 and 400 South, where the current courthouse stands. Jack Benco, an architect on the project, said the new building will rise 10 stories and have 368,000 square feet.

He said the present Frank E. Moss courthouse will be renovated, specifically to make it seismically sound, and most likely used for bankruptcy court. He said occupants love the building but feel it is too small to accommodate all the identified needs.

"We're all so big we don't fit anymore," Benco said. "We're in rental space in the neighborhood, and (the construction) will bring us all back together again."

The new building will have room for courtrooms and chambers for district and magistrate judges, two grand jury suites, the U.S. Probation Office, the U.S. Marshal Service, pretrial suites for the U.S. attorney and federal public defender, the 10th Circuit Branch Law Library and the U.S. Federal Court Clerk's Office.

The funding was requested by Sen. Bob Bennett, R-Utah, who said in a statement that the project was the culmination of "more than a dozen years of effort" and should benefit the state in a number of ways.

"I'm very pleased that Congress has finally recognized the importance of making this project a priority in Salt Lake City," said Bennett. "This courthouse will help meet the growing needs of our state's judiciary system, improve security and give our economy a much needed boost by adding hundreds of jobs."

The General Services Administration told Congress the project would provide $105 million in construction salaries over three years, with an estimated 716 jobs for each of the three years of construction.

Making space for the building also required major effort, as it meant condemning the Shubrick Building, which housed the popular Port O' Call bar. Some $7.5 million was paid in compensation to the owners. Moving the Odd Fellows Hall, a 118-year-old building, from its original site across the street, cost another $6.7 million.

The courthouse project was earmarked in the annual Financial Services Appropriations bill at Bennett's request. The Senate Appropriations Committee passed it in July, and it was signed into law by the president Wednesday. Bennett is the only Utah member of Congress who serves on an appropriations committee.

The building will feature secured underground parking and will sit on a "raised landscape plaza." The new courthouse will face West Temple Street.

I really don't like the stucco look of some of the facades in the new development in downtown... The amount of construction and proposals are amazing though.

I'm not quite sure which projects downtown you might be referring to that are stucco. All are of granite, marble, brick, metal, etc. Perhaps the photo isn't giving quite the detail of the finish. Please point out which pic you're referring to, so I can understand or further explain.


Perhaps, you're referring to portions such as this. The finish is all of hand laid brick, with stone trim. Sometimes the pics
don't show that detail you would see in person, unless a different film process is used.

Salt Lake City Resorts

The Montage Opens ~ Montage Deer Valley: Utah’s newest elite hotel


montagedeervalley.com

By Mike Gorrell
The Salt Lake Tribune

Park City • Make it three luxury hotels to open in the Park City area since the 2002 Winter Olympics elevated the ski town’s stature as a swanky getaway spot for the elite.


Montage Deer Valley enters the market Wednesday with an 11:30 a.m. ribbon cutting, followed by an open house to give the Park City community a look at all the opulence the year-round resort has to offer.

Business as usual begins Thursday at the hotel atop Marsac Avenue, adjacent to Deer Valley Resort’s midmountain Empire Canyon Lodge — with Montage Hotels & Resorts founder and chief executive Alan Fuerstman saying, “We’ll be sold-out for the holidays.”

Welcoming many of those guests will be Monty, a 1-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, Montage’s canine ambassador. While Monty touches the hearts of incoming visitors, valets will move their luggage into a lounge dominated by the sculpture of a 19th century miner/skier.


Steve Griffin | (The Salt Lake Tribune) Bob Arrivillaga, associate director of group sales at the Montage Deer Valley luxury hotel, takes a walk with his Bernese Mountain Dog Monty, the hotel's canine ambassador.

Hallways with distressed hardwood floors lead to Montage’s 154 guest rooms, which are rented in traditional hotel fashion, and 66 suites and residences, whose owners can put them into a rental pool administered by resort staff.

Other halls lead to one of the resort’s three restaurants, or its 17,000 square feet of indoor meeting space (an additional 33,000 square feet are available outside), or its 7,000-square-foot ski shop or its 35,000-square-foot spa, with treadmills facing bay windows overlooking the Park City valley. The spa also features a swimming pool whose architect patterned it after pools at California’s glitzy Hearst Castle.

Hallways and open areas are adorned with striking paintings of life in the West, from cowboy scenes created by Frederic Remington to portraits of birds obtained in a working agreement with the National Audubon Society, said Montage spokesman Dan Herbert.

Fuerstman takes special pride in the prominent placements afforded paintings by Luke Frazier of Providence, one of many Utahns involved in various aspects of the resort’s debut. Montage consciously sought to “become part of the greater Utah community, to being valued members of that community,” he said.

A large percentage of the resort’s 500-plus staff members were hired after nine local job fairs. Beers sold inDaly’s basement grill and lounge were developed in conjunction with Utah’s own Wasatch brewers, boasting labels like Montage Mountain Ale. The resort even has its own local beekeeper, producing specialty honey goods that link visitors to Utah’s heritage as the Beehive State.


Steve Griffin | (The Salt Lake Tribune) The lap pool in the Montage Deer Valley's indoor spa was designed to resemble the swimming pools at Hearst Castle on California's central coast. An open house today will precede the beginning of business Thursday at the Montage.

Fuerstman, whose first two Montage properties are in Laguna Beach and Beverly Hills, Calif., said Deer Valley was an ideal location for the resort’s first mountain venture. “Nature treated us well. This is as good as any setting in North America … grand in many ways, intimate in others.”

This combination, he insists, will help Montage contribute to Park City’s emergence as a global destination, an Olympic ambition that was advanced with last year’s openings in Summit County of the St. Regis Deercrest and Waldorf-Astoria hotels.

“The Olympics created an international awareness of the Park City market,” Fuerstman says. “Having a cadre of great hotels in the market also helps.”

The cars are pretty nice. These aren't
the cars we will be getting, initially, for the Sugarhouse line. The
company that produces these is based in Portland and they are just
taking them around to a few cities in the country showing what
American made transit vehicles look like. The cars are currently
70% American made, and with a new propulsion system that this exact
car will be getting they will be 90% American made. This actual car
will return to Portland and be used in its Street Car system.

The cars are more nimble than light rail, allow for better movement
through traffic and tighter turns, they articulate in two spots. The
middle section is platform height on entry and the the ends have three
stairs at the entry(like trax).

St. Regis hotel adds Deer Valley to its name



By Mike Gorrell
The Salt Lake Tribune


The Deer Valley brand had a good week.

First, the Montage Deer Valley luxury hotel opened Thursday in the resort’s Empire Pass area, increasing the exposure of Deer Valley’s name to Montage’s base of well-heeled clients.

Then on Friday, another of the Park City area’s new luxury hotels, the St. Regis Deer Crest, announced it was changing its name to the St. Regis Deer Valley to take better advantage of the resort’s reputation as the ski industry leader in customer service.



Tribune file photo by Rick Egan Owners of the St. Regis Deer Crest hotel have changed its name to St. Regis Deer Valley to tie the luxury development more closely to the ski resort known for its lavish customer service.

“It’s very pleasant for us,” said Coleen Reardon, Deer Valley Resort’s director of marketing. “They’re both perfect brand fits for us on the promotional side. And they’re such incredible properties that we were thrilled that they wanted to have our name on their hotels. The marketing potential is huge.”

David Reis, managing partner of Deer Crest Janna LLC, owner of the $320 million St. Regis hotel, said the name was changed because “we wanted this legendary address, this incredible destination, to be inherent in our name.


St. Regis, Deer Valley Resort

“When you have the number-one-ranked ski resort in North America, the greatest snow on Earth and the 100-year tradition of uncompromising St. Regis service and elegance all in one package, it’s pretty special,” he added, referring to Deer Valley’s selection by Ski magazine as the continent’s best resort for four consecutive years. “Everything about The St. Regis Deer Valley embodies this slope-side sophistication, from our staff to the architecture, and now to our name.”

On a ridge overlooking Deer Valley’s base Snow Park Lodge, the St. Regis Deer Valley opened in December 2009 with 181 guest rooms, including 67 one-bedroom suites and 114 rooms that can be combined with suites to form two-, three- and four-bedroom combinations. One of its claims to fame is a 24-hour butler service.

The Montage Deer Valley, estimated by state and Park City tourism officials to have cost more than $400 million to build, has 220 rooms. Of those, 154 are guest rooms rented by the hotel, while 66 are private suites and residences that also can be added to the rental mix. Its standout features include a canine ambassador, Monty, a Bernese Mountain Dog.

Montage’s 7,000-square-foot ski school includes a Deer Valley Resort desk where hotel guests can sign up for lessons or buy day passes good on any one of three nearby lifts.

Park City’s third new luxury hotel is the Waldorf-Astoria at Canyons Resort, which opened in summer 2009. Its cost has not been disclosed but probably is within the same range as the other two luxury resorts.

Maxwell's, which serves traditional pasta and pizza dishes, has committed to a 10-year lease in the historic building, which will join the company's flagship restaurant in Park City as the second in Utah.

Owner Steven Maxwell said he envisions a restaurant that will serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Also, the restaurant will transition to a lounge atmosphere that will feature live music and entertainment during evening hours.

Boston Building

By AxDrake - http://www.flickr.com/photos/axdrake...n/photostream/.

The Boston building: 'Skyscraper' of past gets some TLC for its future.

Jason Lee
The Deseret News


Over a century ago, a mining magnate named Samuel Newhouse envisioned the area at Exchange Place in downtown Salt Lake City as a mini-Wall Street that would house the financial district of Utah's capital city -- complete with what was billed as one of the city's first "skyscrapers."

Today, his vision is being restored to its former glory by local developers who see the downtown central business district as a place on the cusp of major growth.

The Boston Building is celebrating its 100th anniversary with the completion of a $10 million renovation that will provide more than 107,000 square feet of high-end office space in the historic location at Nine Exchange Place. Its twin counterpart, the Newhouse Building, is located directly across from the Boston Building and has undergone a less-extensive renovation.

Designed by Chicago and New York architect Henry Ives Cobb, construction on the 11-story building was started in 1907 and finished in 1909, according to Eric Smith, first vice president with listing agent CB Richard Ellis.

"We have done everything we can to bring it back to its original design as much as possible," said Ken Shields, asset manager for the building's owner, Chicago-based developer Hamilton Partners. He said that, when completed, much of the detail from the original interior and exterior finishes will be maintained, including the classic ornate facade, woodwork, the marble and terrazzo stairs and flooring, and even some of the original panes of glass in the exterior windows.

In addition, the lobby walls will showcase the hand-crafted mosaic tiles that extend from floor to ceiling along the staircase from the basement to the second floor, Smith said.

Shields said every effort was made to maintain the original structural integrity and decor of the building, along with some added modern amenities.


Property Description

The all new Boston Building has taken a giant step forward with its recent renovation and remodeling. This icon is located in the professional center of Main Street, between the State and Federal courthouses, in the heart of the Central Business District of Salt Lake City. From brilliant views to state-of-the-art electrical, HVAC, common area, elevatore and technological upgrades. The office space of this historic 11-story marvel will become home to some of the most prestigious firms in Salt Lake city. The building offers a variety of full-floor office space options with great views of Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas. The building is less than a mile from I-15 on 400 South and has plenty of available parking at the Exchange Place Garage. It is also located a short distance from two light-rail stations, the Boston Building offers an easy commute from anywhere in the Salt Lake Valley.

through traffic and tighter turns, they articulate in two spots. The
middle section is platform height on entry and the the ends have three
stairs at the entry(like trax).
