So...sorry to be a debbie downer here, but a 40 story residential tower is most likely closer to the 448'. Typically the floor to floor height in these towers are about 10'. The upper floors will could go as high as 12' floor to floor. So, to have the typical floor to floor for all the units be 12' would make this a super high-end luxury tower. And, I'm doubting they can make that pencil. BUT, I hope I am wrong! Absolutely!

I'm also leaning toward "it's a typo" but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Honestly, even if it is a typo, I’m gonna be happy. I just want this tower to get built. Whether it’s 448 or 488 feet tall, it getting done is the most important thing.

Yeah, you are probably right. I started looking up Astra/Kensington tower online for articles and half the articles had the details correct and half didn’t so it could definitely just be bad info. I sure do wonder what the tower would look like in a mock up city view at 488

For example, the colorful and flamboyant owl against the black backdrop on the Impact Hub building next door is awesome. Would love to see something similar.

I drove by today and it has a diagonal split between black and white. It's kind of cool. Very simple but interesting.

Great picture update Blah!

Design review for The June is on the agenda for the next planning commission meeting, so I imagine it won't get started for a little bit at least.

Currently working on a project on 348 South Temple. It will be a 7 story multifamily that overtakes the parking lot behind the pre-existing building. I can update you on the total amount of units later today potentially.

Address: 218 West 300 South

The Basics: 7 floors + rooftop level. 88'-4" tall. 46 residential units. aprox. 820 sq. feet of ground floor retail. Architect: Axis Architects.

Project Description (from developer):

The 218 W Broadway Apartments is a new boutique mixed-use project located on 218 W and 300 South, in the heart of downtown. The Broadway district is the center of the city’s entertainment district, with a mix of theaters, restaurants and clubs. It is animated by its dynamic and unique street activity. Our project aligns with the Broadway District initiatives and promotes walkability as well as Urban density to help develop the downtown plan vision. In response to the major population growth that Utah is experiencing, this project will provide additional residential density and create a nexus for sustainable urban living, commerce, and cultural life in downtown Salt Lake City.

With its minimal and iconic architecture, this building will add to the fabric of the city and will reflect the vision of a strong and vibrant downtown. The livability of this area will be improved by providing additional housing units and commercial space, and removing the old defunct drycleaner. Our project will bring multiple housing choices, which aligns with the downtown plan. It is located on a very active intersection which will promote activity and bring life into this area of downtown.

The building façades are oriented towards 300 S, 200W, as well as the alley to the North to respond to the unique site conditions. The façade design is visible on all 3 sides by pedestrian as well as vehicular traffic. The 300 S façade includes ample glazing along the street level which helps activate the fourteen-feet-tall storefronts to encourage pedestrian interaction and visual interest. The upper levels contain the residences, which consists of junior-one bedrooms as well as two-story Lofts on the top floor.

The building mass has been divided into a grid system that is both simple and elegant. The angled walls provide privacy to the units and allow different viewing angles. The façade essentially expresses outside, the viewing apertures that are available to each residence from the inside. The grid brings organization to the façade and reduces its elements to a human scale. From the inside, the grid allows for an intimate experience of the City in each dwelling unit. The Main façade is facing South and provides expansive mountain views, while the North façade opens views of the downtown skyline. The building consist of high quality durable materials which help add to the character of the Architecture. The Large volume will be constructed of fiber cement board panels and glass. The lower commercial volume will be clad in a perforated metal façade to help create interest during the daytime as well as the night.

The 218 W Apartments will add a unique character to this City block and will help strengthen the connection between the Broadway and the central business district. Our project allows direct access from 200 West which will also augment the pedestrian and traffic flow from Poplar court. This will help the flow of traffic through the inside of the block and will help improve the alleyway conditions on the North side of our site.

Until two weeks ago I lived in a house across the street and four doors down from this 6 story beauty. Someone just bought the house two doors down and were putting on a new roof as I was moving out. Guessing this will be a surprise. I sold to a broker and knew a few other lots had already sold but I was expecting townhouses, not six story apartment buildings.

I love this infill in this area. Great spot next to restaurants, etc.

Why duplicate all the images to make a one line comment? We end up with 300 of the same boring proposal photos on one damn page.

Some people really love to scroll, I guess.
