SLC is fast becoming one of the cities I need to visit. Some of the classiest architecure I've seen in a while.

City Creek Center is now really starting to take shape. South Temple between Main and West Temple feels so much more dense now. It's awesome. I love this project.

It looks different than it did in August of 2007. Now it has cranes and three more buildings in the picture. In another year it'll have four more. I think this is a good place to see all of the City Creek buildings coming up at once.

These are MY pics

I took them today from the 1300 South viaduct, because it was great lighting for what I wanted, but they uploaded kinda blurry but oh well

Look in the lower left corner, CCC TOWER 1 is FINALLY peeking into the skyline!

This is our ENTIRE skyline, lacking as it is, but we're filling it up, so don't worry

kpexpress · #**1131** Posted **Mar 7, 2009, 8:56 AM**

Now that I look at it, that is a sad looking skyline!

delts145 · #**1132** Posted **Mar 7, 2009, 12:22 PM**

Tangeld, for a city with a million jaw dropping beauty shots, and unrivaled immediate scenery, you couldn't have picked a more unflattering angle, and even on a dreary overcast morning. You have a real talent there, LOL
I guess we should be glad that unlike many metros, Salt Lake City is not bankrupt and is still building up with so many beautiful new projects. As you pointed out, the skyline itself is changing rapidly, and truthfully there are an infinite amount of more flattering angles to shoot from.

Unrivaled Downtown backdrop, looking East.

Unlike allot of downtowns upon close inspection, Salt Lake City has an abundance of beautiful plazas and fountains, magnificient, monumental and historical architecture. Even in these difficult economic times, new and exciting projects abound, like the recently completed iconic and stunning library, the conference center with it's jaw dropping roof and main hall, or the multi billion dollar CCC and it's many top quality, stunning buildings under construction.

This view was taken by Tucapel from the actual downtown site of the new City Creek, Regent Tower Project. This is the view that those residents will be looking at. Yeah, I'm so sad for them LOL

One of a handfull of the most beautiful libraries in the world

Looking toward LDS conference center and it's cascading waterfall, originating from the rooftop gardens

From a 1st generation Parisian perspective, I find the beautiful architectural detailing found everywhere in downtown Salt Lake and it's streetscape very impressive for an American city, especially in the West.

Wait ten years for a few additions, widen the shot a little to the right to capture that nice peak, and for hell sakes, "take it on a blue bird day!"

I had remembered this shot below from the past, promoting the golfing scene along the Wasatch Front. Notice how beautiful that peak is when you get a little further back. Usually we don't see how impressive those mountains are in back of downtown because all the pics are up close. I think with a decent camera and lens, you could bring the downtown closer, and capture the beauty of the background peaks on the northeast at the same time. Also, while at close to the same angle, it seems like it is a little more flattering to the skyline itself.

I like that shot allot Zionide. Imagine how much Tower 1 will affect that angle! Only problem is how much that angle, or any pic from the north makes me want to box someones ears about that COB stairwell, LOL.

Whoah... You're right Comrade, I didn't even realize that the old Newhouse was there. Good grief... now I'm getting bummed out about it having been imploded.

.....Metro Geography of the Wasatch Front

Southern Metro ~ Utah Valley
Hundred's of thousands of metro residents live on what are commonly referred to locally as benches. The entirety
of Salt Lake City's eastern metro, running from north to south is enveloped by a dramatic
mountain wall, rising abruptly from the valley floor. This would be the Wasatch Mtn. Range,
from which the Metro takes it's name, "Wasatch Front." In the pic below, we are looking directly from east to west of a typical
valley view of an average residence on the east mtn. bench. The majestic mountainscape
we see across the valley, is the Oquirrh(pronounced Oaker) Mountain Range.

.....Northernmost Metro ~ Cache Valley

.....Central Metro ~ Salt Lake Valley
.....Salt Lake Valley's Snowbird Ski Resort ~ Tram, "on the way to the top" For many residents of the
Wasatch Metro, it's mountains, canyons and eleven major ski resorts are an integral part of everyday urban life

Here are some pics from today of the new 5-star St. Regis Hotel development at Deer Valley in Park City. This thing is huge! Note the Funicular Tramway in the second shot.

And one more random shot:

And this last one is of the SKI Magazine Dream Home:

I know that many people in general might think that the billionaires club really has nothing to do with them. However, I think that most people on this forum in particular can equate the significance of having so many upscale options so close to downtown Salt Lake City and a major international airport. That type of wealth definately spills over into the realization of many options and types of projects for us all, from residential to retail to CEO's establishing their offices closer to the places they love to vacation at.

Man, this pic below from aspiringarchitect shows that this is going to be a pretty major chunk of real estate. Thanks again to Skyguy and AspiringArchitect for the great pics of the Park City area of our metro. There are so many major projects going on up there right now, from the Canyons to Deer Valley. Even in this crazy economy we still have allot of ongoing construction to entertain us.
