Suburban builder going urban near South Temple - Full Article By Isaac Riddle @ http://www.buildingsaltlake.com/subu...r-going-urban/

...The developers want to build 17 feet above the parcel’s current height limit of 90 feet. The height limit in the RO zone district is 60 feet. The site can build up to 90 foot limit because the parcel abuts another zone district and several adjacent buildings already exceed the height allowed under the RO zone district.

According to Cooper the project will appeal to a higher end market. Cooper argued that the project needs the additional height to provide upper end access units that will bring in higher rents.

The current proposal calls for 139 residential units with 42 units in the existing office building and 97 units in the new construction tower, including four live/work units that would occupy the front section of parking structure on 500 East...

Central Metro/Salt Lake Valley - New Hale Centre Theatre in Sandy Rises At The Cairns Center Development

Arrival Of Spring, looking east. Typical Central Metro/Salt Lake Valley suburban views.

By Katie McKellar, Deseret News

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8...ion-delay.html

...Hale Centre Theatre's new home is well underway, with towering cranes, mounds of dirt and gravel, and the beginnings of a structural skeleton.

The 130,000-square-foot theater with 1,350 seats was originally estimated to open in January next year at 9886 Monroe St. But Utahns will have to wait about five months longer,
until June, before they can walk through the mega-theater's doors.

That's because construction crews had a little trouble with the Sandy site's high water table, according to Mark Dietlein, the theater’s president and CEO...

Central Metro/Salt Lake Valley - Huge Cairns Development Continues To Take Shape

Sandy’s city center is developing a mid-rise cluster - Full Article By Isaac Riddle @ http://www.buildingsaltlake.com/sand...-rise-cluster/

...The 1100 acre city center plan area is bounded by 9000 South to 11400 South between Interstate 15 and UTA light rail to the east. The plan calls for high density housing, retail and office
space surrounding City Hall, a reconfiguration of the suburban style, South Towne Center mall and transit enhancements that connect the area to the nearby TRAX and FrontRunner stations...

...Apart from the inContact headquarters, several other large projects are actively under construction. Construction is well underway on the Park at City Center, a 330-unit apartment
building directly north of Sandy City Hall. The project will include a mix of one and two-bedroom market-rate apartments, a parking structure with 616 parking stalls and common areas including
a swimming pool.

Across the street from the Park at City Center, construction is underway on the new Hale Center Theater. The new theater will accommodate nearly twice as many patrons as the current theater
in West Valley.

Central Metro/Salt Lake Valley - MLS's Real Salt Lake To Build Major New Training Facility

By Matt Montgomery @ http://www.rslsoapbox.com/2016/4/5/1...ining-facility

Real Salt Lake is set to build a 42-acre academy and training facility in Herriman, Utah, that could cost an estimated $45 to $50 million...

...Real Salt Lake's Vice President of Stadium Operations, Craig Martin, described the proposed 42-acre facility as the potential "base of operations" for Real Salt Lake and Real Monarchs, in addition to the academy.

The facility would include eight fields, including four natural grass fields for the Real Salt Lake academy...

..."Real Salt Lake Training Academy," would serve as home to an charter school that includes boarding for RSL academy U-18 and U-16 teams. The team is planning to bring 50 of those players from Arizona to be housed in Herriman, Martin told the commission.

"It will also have a charter school that will bring our academy up from Casa Grande up to Salt Lake Valley," he told members of the commission. "We've got roughly 250 kids in the charter school, 50 of which will travel up from Arizona. They'll be boarded right there."...

..."This will literally be the base of operations for RSL and the Monarchs," Martin said. "Rio Tinto Stadium has now really turned into a gameday venue only, this will literally be their full-time home along with the academy. Really, three main tenants, per se."...

...Martin told the commission. As such, it could attract international-caliber teams; Martin cited Manchester City, Manchester United, and Barcelona, to whom the front office has shown the plans.

"One of the real attractive things that we've seen overseas is we've showed this plan to folks from Man City, Manchester United, Barcelona," he said. "There isn't a place stateside right now where they could come and utilize the warm weather in their offseason to practice that will met their needs."

The facility would outstrip those built recently by Toronto, New York Red Bulls, and Kansas City, Martin said.

"None of these compare remotely to this particular training facility," he said. "This will be the best one in North America that's built, bar none. When we approached some of these other teams and showed them what we're building, they showed great interest in coming over here and training at this facility for three weeks to a month, roughly, which obviously has a sizable economic impact."

The application also included facilities for Real Monarchs, who are still playing at Rio Tinto Stadium...

Salt Lake City & MSA/CSA Rundown

Americas Favorite Towns - Top 30




No. 1: Park City, UT

Also posted on the SLC MSA Thread...

http://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/trip...VwNW?ocid=iehp


http://www.skyparkcity.com


Outdoor bliss meets artistic street cred: America’s winning town offers snow, sunshine, and a good chance of celeb-spotting. Readers gave the city near-perfect marks for its weather and for its festivals—thanks in part, no doubt, to winter’s Sundance Film Festival. Since Utah has relaxed its liquor laws over the years, Park City also scored well with readers for wine. Choose from the extensive wine list at Glitretind, at Stein Eriksen Lodge, or the long list of bottles at the new Main Street hotspot Tupelo, whose artisanal menu includes such delights as Rocky Mountain Elk Bolognese. With all that good food and opportunities to exercise, the locals impressed readers by looking well-toned.


Three important things draw Daniel Howard to Park City: History, wildlife, and rooftop bars.

“I like the no-chain-store ambience along Main Street, and the mining-era legacy of its buildings,” says Howard, who works for the Four Seasons Biltmore Resort in Santa Barbara. “And, I like seeing moose walking through the town.” His favorite perch to watch either people or antlered creatures is the rooftop bar at the No Name Saloon. “It’s the best place to take in the crowds below,” he says. “While still being above it all and yet under the radar—just like Park City.”

Even though the Utah ski town is increasingly associated with its star-studded film festival each winter, the combination of sophisticated hangouts and small town charm has made it a top-ten favorite of Travel+Leisure readers. In this year’s America’s Favorite Places survey, readers ranked cities and towns across the U.S. for their dining, shopping, and other qualities—even how smart the locals seem. Among the top 30 winning towns (which have populations under 100,000), a few high-scoring categories came up time and again: friendly residents, a relaxing ambience, and a wealth of little indulgences, like bakeries, burgers, and wine bars.

Some towns charmed travelers with their mix of quirky qualities. “With just one stroll through downtown Asheville on a Saturday night, we were able to window-shop handcrafted art, sip high-end cocktails, and stumble into a full-moon drum circle in Pritchard Park” says Arizona native Laine Strutton. “It’s probably one of the most eclectic towns in America.”

Read on for more about this year’s winners, and to see who ranked where. http://www.msn.com/en-us/travel/trip...VwNW?ocid=iehp


The nitty-gritty: Travel + Leisure’s America’s Favorite Places survey opened on 10/8/2015 and closed on 04/15/2016. It was open to everyone, and ran alongside a sweepstakes. The open-response survey asked respondents to submit their favorite place and rate it in over 65 categories, including affordability, notable restaurants, and public parks. Towns were defined as governed bodies with a population less than 100,000. After discarding incomplete ballots and cities that received less than 8 votes, each entry was ranked according to an average score.

Downtown Update - 111 Tower - Utah Performing Arts Center and Regent Street
Under Construction









Utah Performing Arts Center and 111 Tower


...Lead architects, Cesar Pelli and Mitch Hirsch explained in detail the design, which will include a three-balcony, opera house configuration for the seating area and a large,
four-story “Winter Garden” lobby with glass exterior facing Main St. They also touted the fact that the theater building will have no “back”. With pedestrian passages from Main St. to Regent St,
a public plaza in front of the truck loading docks, and a rejuvenated Regent St full of nightlife and daytime action, the NPAC will be a driving force in activating downtown, on the blocks to
the immediate south of the spectacular new City Creek Center...

City unveils new plans for downtown Regent Street by 111 Tower & EPAC Theater

Jason Lee, Deseret News

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8...y-theater.html

Becker and other city administrators unveiled the new schematic design plans for the Regent Street block located on the east side of the new Eccles Theater, between 100 South and
200 South.

the Gallivan Center a place to “gather, discover and connect.” (Salt Lake City)

The project would include retail and dining establishments, a public plaza, along with custom landscape architecture throughout the common areas. While the street would still be
accessed by motor vehicle traffic, the area would also be accessible to pedestrians and could be converted to pedestrian-only access for events such as concerts, Becker explained.

“Since I took office, a primary object is to make downtown a gathering place for the region — and have it be a true welcoming environment for people seeking all kinds of activities that you
can really only find in the downtown area,” he said. “We see this as part of what we are doing to make this the 'cultural core' of the region.”...

...The redevelopment project is aimed at attracting more people into downtown and generating a distinctive experience that can’t happen anywhere else, said STRUCK agency's Brent Watts,
who is part of the creative design team for the Regent Street project.

“We want to create a 'branded' experience,” he said, adding that besides gathering and dining, the corridor will include local artists and local shops.

“We want sizeable, small-scale retail shops on the street,” Watts said. “That’s important.”...

Downtown Update - Regent Street Hotel

Historic neighboring Felt Building to be restored, repurposed and incorporated into the new Regent Street Hotel Development

Historic Downtown building will find new use

Isaac Riddle Reports, Full Article @ http://www.buildingsaltlake.com/hist...-find-new-use/

...The three-story Felt building was built circa 1900 and is on the National Register of Historic Places for its social history...

...The developers are proposing substantial modifications while promising to preserve the Regent Street façade. The developers plan to take down the east wall and use those exterior materials
and integrate them into the building’s interior finishing’s.

The tentative design approved by the RDA calls for the hotel lobby, lobby bar and lounge on the ground floor of the Felt building with meeting and ballroom space on the second floor. The
design features contrasting architecture that is intended to create a visual distinction between the Felt building and the larger Regent Street project.

The developers will add a vehicle lift, or car stacker, for residences that will be accessed from Plum Alley. According to a representative from Form, the cost per stall made the car stacker the
most affordable option.

The 22-story development will include ground floor retail and residential units above 12 floors of hotel rooms. The project replaces the former Eat-a-Burger site at the northeast corner of
the intersection at 200 South and Regent Street. Workers demolished the blighted Eat-a-Burger building last October.

Form Development will work with the Utah Heritage Foundation in maintaining the character and preserving the west façade of the Felt building...

Luxurious Boutique Hotel Condo Tower Coming To The New Regent Street

It was predicted by many that with the development of the spectacular multi-billion
dollar City Creek Center, exciting and diverse projects would soon spring
up throughout the Downtown District. A new world class Performing
Arts Center/Theater, 111 Tower and a revived Regent St. continue their
hectic construction schedule to the block immediately south of City Creek.
The excitement continues to build throughout Downtown as dozens of
large and small projects progress through their proposals and
beginning construction phases. Newly announced is this beautiful
boutique hotel tower, which is now accelerating through the approval
process.

Downtown Update - Station Center to lead the Depot District’s revival

Isaac Riddle Reports - Full Article @ http://www.buildingsaltlake.com/stat...ricts-revival/

...The project area consists of multiple parcels in a two block radius between the Rio Grande Depot and the Intermodal Hub.

The city intends to make Station Center an arts and culture district that is a regional attraction, while adding residents to the neighborhood that will help support the adjacent Gateway Mall.

“This is probably the most transit-rich neighborhood in the Intermountain West,” said Ed Butterfield, the RDA senior project manager.

The neighborhood is a regional transit center, with proximity to Interstates 15 and 80 and the Intermodal Hub that is the terminus for the FrontRunner commuter rail line, the Blue TRAX light rail line, 14 bus routes (including three high-frequency routes) and a GREENbike station...

Downtown - The Hardison (450 East South Temple)

HLC approves South Temple project - Isaac Riddle Reports - Full Article @ http://www.buildingsaltlake.com/hlc-...emple-project/

...The design of the Hardison has changed as many times as the developers have presented to the HLC. The developers have submitted three different designs to the city, and each failed to
impress the HLC.

The process had frustrated Company President Bryson Garbett to the extent that he threatened to abandon the project after the HLC again rejected the project during its February meeting.

The approved design is significantly smaller than the original proposal. The original project consisted of a six-story building with 176 residential units. The new version of the Hardison consists
of a four-story building with 77 units, six of which will be live/work units.

“I think we’ve come up with a project that is substantially improved” said commission member Kenton Peters...

According to Ryan Mack of the Downtown Alliance, artists were awarded a $3,500 grant to design and build a park with a floral/garden theme on a 8 foot by 20 foot platform that “incorporates landscaping and seating along with elements of art, playfulness and fun.”

The Downtown Garden Stroll... coincided with LDS General Conference weekend, a biannual conference that brings around 125,000 visitors to Temple Square just north of the popup gardens...

...The project was designed by MHTN Architects and includes a five-story, 112,000 square-foot office building and a five-level parking garage with access points off Main Street and 500 South. The office building will be built according to LEED Gold standards

“It fits uniquely into this downtown urban environment and compliments the building to the east,” said Peggy McDonough, president of MHTN Architects.

McDonough described the design of the DA office building as being a symbol of transparency. The building’s ground floor is intended to feel open with large glass glazing that allows pedestrians to see into the building. The entire south side of the building will also have ground to ceiling windows that will bring in natural light and offer views of the Wasatch Mountains...
