Here is another wonderful sketchup rendition by yours truly. I added 151 S State, the Regent street Hotel and the two 10 story Patrinely Buildings.
And to those people who want to talk bad about our great city, I have a few things I want to say to you. I have been all over the world. I was part of the most famous skyscraper project ever built, Burj Khalifa, I worked and lived in Dubai while working for Emaar Properties. I have been to many Major cities in my travels, but the city that most intrigues me is Salt Lake City. Not only cause it's home but because we are witnessing the actual transformation of a world class city. Most US cities are already heavily developed, so a new skyscraper hardly makes a noticeable difference in most of them. But look how huge of an impact 111 S Main made. That's what excites me. And yes SLC has been slow when it comes to high-rise developements. But that is only a small part of what makes a city world class. Did you know Salt Lake City has a better public transport system than NYC? Did you know that SLC has a Double decker High-speed commuter rail system in a state with less than half the population of Phoenix, or Seattle. Now that is what truly matters, great public infrastructure, which makes life easier and more enjoyable for its citizens. I have never been so impressed with any other city than I have with SLC. With the resources being limited due to its small population , what the city has done with what it has, is quite..well, unbelievable. Plus when SLC held the winter games in 2002 they did so with absolute class. The 2002 winter games were by far the best presentation of olympic games ever held in the US, hands down. There is no where quite like Salt Lake City, but there is a few places like most everywhere else in this country. Take it from someone who knows urban developement, SLC is on top in more ways than one.
