Downtown - Avenues District - Meridien Condominiums - From VA Hospital to Luxury Condos



Historical Perspective :

The story of The Meridien begins in 1924, when the United States goverment selected Salt Lake City's north bench as the site for its new Veteran's Administration hospital. The building is neo-classical in its design, with elements that are purely Georgian in heritage. Veteran's Administration dignitaries and Salt Lake City officials commisioned the building on July 24, 1932. The hospital served the country continously until 1962, when its status changed to become part of the original Primary Children's Hospital campus and, later, Brigham Young Univeristy. The structure is graced by a variety of grand architectural elements, including symmetrical facade, cornices and parapets, and pedimented porticos. Garland embellishments on the tympanum frame a small, circular window, while keystones secure each window opening. The Meridien preserves and restores every detail of this building with meticulous care.

Veteran's Administration facts: The U.S. Veterans Administration Facility, located on 12th Avenue and "E" Street and an elevation of 4854 feet, on a reservation of 26.8 acres. It was dedicated on July 24th, 1932, to the care and hospitalization of ex-service persons. 104 beds for general medical and surgical cases. In addition it houses the Regional Offices for the State of Utah


One of the beauty spots of Salt Lake City is the Veterans Hospital with its magnificient surrounding park. Situated on the north foothills of Salt Lake City it affords an inspiring panoramic view of Salt Lake Valley surrounded by the majestic Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountains.

Looking southeast toward a portion of the Univ. of Utah Campus and the magnificent Wasatch Mountains, which frame the Salt Lake Metro

Today -














Deseret News Archives, by Duane Hilton
There was "caution" tape around a large hole in the floor, orange spray paint on the wall, bare pipes, and only a few windows had glass in them. But an ice sculpture that poured martinis, valet parking and tunes provided by members of the Utah Symphony hinted at what is in store for the abandoned hospital.
A sumptous party inside the old Veterans Administration Hospital in Salt Lake City's upper Avenues kicked off construction of The Meridien, a luxury development of condominiums being built within the shell of the old hospital.

The building's five floors and 80,000 square feet are being converted into 28 condominiums, ranging in price from $500,000 to $2.5 million. The Meridian will have a staffed concierge desk, gym and pool. Private elevators will drop residents off at their front doors.

Materials like granite will be used for countertops in the condos, said Richard Sheinberg, a managing partner of Pembroke Capitol Park, the company doing the construction.

Buyers will be able to customize many things. For example, a buyer has a choice between stone and hardwood floors, Sheinberg said. There are also several woods — cherry, maple and oak — to choose from.

"This is a magnificent location, and the architecture is outstanding," said Gary Felsher, a managing partner of Pembroke Capitol Park.
Construction on the luxury condos actually started in April of 2005, Sheinberg said.

They have ripped everything out of the interior of the building, including pipes, tiles, dividers, light fixtures and windows, Sheinberg said. Recently, work started on an underground parking garage.

While the interior is being completely redone, the exterior will be preserved, Felsher said. However, the exterior will be enhanced with balconies, he added.

Construction is scheduled to finish in 2008.

When the condos are finished, at least six of them will have people moving into them. That's how many have already been sold, Felsher said.

All six are in the million-dollar range, Sheinberg said.

When people move in, it will be the first time the building will have been regularly used since 1990. It closed its doors in 1990 as Primary Children's Hospital, said Bonnie Midget of Primary Children's Hospital media relations. It became Primary Children's in the mid-1960s. It was a veterans hospital for more than 30 years before that.

Downtown - City Center Lofts



A Building with History
City Center Lofts is located in one of the oldest parts of Downtown,Salt Lake City. Laid out as part of historic Plat B in 1848, the neighborhood is still home to many of Salt Lake’s landmark buildings. For instance, directly across the street, the Oquirrh School and the Evangelical Church of the Holy Trinity (now occupied by Ichiban Restaurant) both date from the beginning of the 20th Century. The City Library, designed by Moshe Safde, and opened in 2003, shows that the neighborhood continues its tradition of architectural vitality.

At City Center Lofts, we are determined to contribute to the neighborhood’s rich history even before we have broken ground on the Lofts themselves. Between February and May, 2007, we allowed over 120 of Utah’s best graffiti artists, sculptors, metal workers, painters, photographers and graphic designers to give one last breath of life to the abandoned building that now stands on the site. Once the artists are done, the public will be welcomed inside this one-of-a-kind art installation for six days only. At the end of that time, the existing building will be torn down to make way for the City Center Lofts.

The Team

Gillies, Stransky, Brems & Smith (GSBS)
GSBS has been recognized as the 2006 Firm of the Year by the Utah Chapter of the American Institute of Architects. This special award recognizes outstanding and consistent design by a Utah firm that has made significant contributions to the profession and the community. GSBS designed the first LEED-certified building in Utah, the Kearns Olympic Ice Oval, and has long been noted as a firm which places emphasis on sustainable architecture. Their design for the Big D Construction Headquarters won the first Gold LEED in Utah and they have also received LEED certification for the Grand Staircase Escalante National Park Visitors Center.

Almost 4th & 4th LLC
Most developers see their buildings as commodities to be sold off for profit. The principals of Almost 4th & 4th see things a bit differently: we are building City Center Lofts because that is where we intend to live ourselves. City Center Lofts is our dream home in downtown Salt Lake City, built by the best architects and contractors in the State to meet nationally-recognized environmental standards. High ceilings, open spaces, lots of sunlight, great views, and just a hop, skip, and a jump from the best city life that Salt Lake has to offer—that is our future home, and we invite you to make it yours, too.

I really like the look of these condos and would actually like to see more small developments spread throughout the city. I like the design but I think an entire half block of these would be a little to much to stomach. That's why I would love to see them in various locations.

One of Salt Lake's unique features

So while there are many wide streets -- a staple in Salt Lake's character -- there are also many, many narrow streets that you generally don't get in the western US. I think this actually is pretty cool, because these streets are often tucked away from major roads and are filled with some cool housing. But since they are so small, many streets often feel like they were built in the forest because of all the massive trees that have grown over the years.

Thanks to Google Maps now providing street photos of nearly every street in the Salt Lake Valley, I can now post some of these narrow streets for other non-Salt Lake forumers to see. And hell, I'm sure many Salt Lake forumers do not venture down these roads, so it may all be foreign to them, as well.

Here's Stanton Avenue, which is about a mile from the downtown core. What's interesting is that at the end of the street there are two new residential buildings -- so even today, construction is still taking place on these streets.




Here's Sego Avenue. Notice the shotgun style housing, which dominates many of the inner-city neighborhoods of Salt Lake.





Park Street is pretty neat, because nearly every house on it is a bungalow. These types of bungalows aren't really seen in the western United States, yet they make up a big part of Salt Lake's housing stock.



Menlo Avenue, varying housing styles and a lot of trees.



Here's Norris Pl.



Penn Pl is an interesting street, since trees overwhelm the area.



Iowa Street reminds me of a street you'd see back east. If the road were dirt, the street would look like it came right of the late 1800s, early 1900s.



Elizabeth Street is pretty much a street filled with these red brick apartments.



Here's where Park and Lowell Streets intersect.



Gudgell, which looks pretty desolate and ugly.



Hawthorne, again filled with many bungalows.



These areas are pretty cool, but I don't think I'd want to live on one of these streets.

What do you think?

Metro Wasatch Economy strongest in nation for 2008


DAVIS COUNTY CLIPPER, by Shain Gillet — Utah is entering 2008 with the strongest economy in the nation, according to Jeff Thredgold, economic consultant at Zions Bank. “While the state’s job creation pace has slowed somewhat in recent months, it remains more than three times stronger than the current U.S. job creation pace,” he said. “Solid growth, impressive job creation, tight labor availability, and a softer housing market seem on tap for Utah this year.” During the recent 12-month period, Utah has reported more than 52,000 new jobs were created, an increase of four percent. Also, the unemployment rate dropped from 2.9 to 2.6 percent, and is still among the lowest in the nation. “The unemployment rate is great here,” said Thredgold. “Even with the state growing in population, Utah hasn’t seen an increase in unemployment.”

Over 44,000 more people have moved into Utah than out of it during a 12-month period ending July 2007, a record for Utah according to the quarterly magazine.

“People love it here,” Thredgold said. “We’ve been a growing state seemingly every year and this year is no different.”

There was also a bit of good news-bad news for Utah’s economy as well.

“The good news is that the value of homes in Utah is well above that of the rest of the U.S.,” said Thredgold. “Which suggests that Utah homes are approaching their full value.

“The bad news is the higher end housing market is out of balance. There are too many homes priced over $500,000.”

He mentioned that such homes would find difficulty appreciating in value “unless and until fewer homes are for sale.”

It is also a buyer’s market according to Thredgold.

“The supply of new homes for sale in all price ranges in Utah has nearly doubled in the last year,” he said. “This should lead to a large buyer’s market looking into this year.”

So the overall outlook for 2008 Utah is mostly good, and somewhat bad. Solid growth, impressive increase in job creation, a tight labor availability and a softer housing market look to be in sight.

Even small businesses are seeing an increase for the coming year.

“Small businesses are seeing an increase in success,” said Thredgold. “Because of the unemployment rates, retail sales and the overall strength of the economy, up-and-coming businesses should look forward to being successful as well.”

And overall, Thredgold said the economic strength of Utah should be the best it has been in recent years.

“This should be a good year for economic growth in Utah,” said Thredgold about the upcoming year. “I think Utah is a place of growth. A place where people can come from anywhere and do well.”

Now, if we can just get those soon-to-be announced mystery towers to kick things up a notch to 45-55 stories!!

Nobody can argue that Metro Salt Lake has one of the most beautiful backdrops though.

TOD - South Salt Lake makeover to begin within week / Developers plan 18 acres of condos, office space, retail

SOUTH SALT LAKE — Within a week, demolition could begin on 18 acres of dilapidated buildings and hundreds of square feet of unappealing pavement that sits between Main Street and State Street near 2100 South.
A year and a half from now, the area will be transformed into the beginnings of a project that will change the fundamental character of South Salt Lake, said project developer Steve Aste.

The Market Station development will boast a 27-story condominium building and 18 other buildings that will house additional owner-occupied housing units, prime office space and retail capacity.

Tying the project together will be a streetcar line that will connect to the Sugar House neighborhood and light rail lines, to be built within the next five years. The development will be community-centered and is planned to be pedestrian-friendly, providing everything from an urban grocery store to a dry cleaning shop and a hotel within yards of residences, according to draft plans obtained by the Deseret Morning News.

"This is taking an area in a very good location and transforming it into something unique and beautiful," Aste said. The Utah developer has been working on the project for the past four years.

The city of South Salt Lake has been a proponent of the project for years and sees it as a way to bring new businesses, new customers and vitality to the city.
In fact, the city will allow half the sales tax generated by the project to go back toward its development for 15 years. It has also created a redevelopment agency, which has decided to allow the project to retain 75 percent of its property taxes over the next 15 years as soon as the land value in the project area appreciates above 2007 levels.

Altogether the $500 million project is expected to retain $25 million it would have paid in property taxes to the city, county, school district and other special tax entities. The project is expected to retain about $1.6 million it would have paid to the city in sales taxes, not accounting for inflation.

Asbestos abatement is expected to begin this week, to be followed within a few months by bulldozers and wrecking balls. In 18 months, the first residences will be ready for move-in, Aste said. The entire project will be completed in phases and could take years to complete.

"Our project's a go," City Council member John Weaver told six other council members during a meeting Tuesday. "There are some new additional details that need to be hammered out, but no one can say now."


A year and a half from now, the area will be transformed into beginnings of a project that will change the fundamental character of South Salt Lake, said project developer Steve Aste.

Salt Lake City's Urban Resorts - Deer Valley's St. Regis Hotel - Under Construction

From Downtown Salt Lake City, distances to it's many resorts are not measured in hours, but minutes

Deer Valley Resort, Jeffrey D. Allred for The New York Times


The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Deer Crest, will offer hotel condos from $1.5 million to to $4.3 million, and private condos from $2.5 million to $8 million.

Known for its signature butler service, exquisite design, and indulgent spas, St. Regis is among the world’s most revered luxury hotel brands with 10 award-winning properties around the globe. The St. Regis Resort, Deer Crest will be situated on two pieces of land connected by a dual-car funicular rail tram with luxuriously appointed cabs. The lower terminus of the funicular will be built adjacent to Deer Valley’s Snow Park Lodge at the base of the ski resort. The main portion of the hotel and residences will be directly uphill from that site, nestled into the saddle of Roosevelt Gap.

The slope-side St. Regis Resort & Residences, Deer Crest will offer some of the most opulent amenities of any mountain resort in the world including a 24,000 square foot spa with a salon and fitness facilities, a large, luxe ski lounge with ski valet service, a ski “beach”, and two resort-style pools designed to capture sun rays during all daylight hours. The resort will also feature a gourmet restaurant, a martini bar and an après ski lounge.

The upper portion of the hotel will house guest rooms, the private residences and condominium suites, the destination resort spa, restaurant and lounge areas, and outdoor amenities with generous landscaping that blends seamlessly into the beautiful surroundings. A lower lodge built around the base of the funicular adjacent to Snow Park Lodge will include additional welcome facilities and will provide quick access to the base area ski lifts. The lower lodge is also slated for additional hotel rooms which will be phased in at a later date.

“As we continue to strategically grow the St. Regis brand, we seek only the world’s most desirable destinations, and we consider Deer Valley one of the finest mountain resorts in the world,” said Stephen Alden, Senior Vice President of St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. “We are honored to fly our flag on what will be one of the most extraordinary ski properties in North America and beyond.”

Stan Castleton, CEO of DDRM Great Place, the developer of the St. Regis Resort, Deer Crest, explained, “The readers of Ski Magazine have rated Deer Valley the best ski resort in North America for service, food and grooming for years, as well as giving it the mantle of the best overall ski resort in 2002 and 2006. Fittingly, 2002 occurred in the year Deer Valley hosted the Olympics. Similarly, in 2004 Travel + Leisure rated all of the St. Regis hotels in North America among their Top 100. We are honored to be able to unite these two impeccable brands.”

The St. Regis Resort & Residences, Deer Crest will be the brand’s second ski resort, and will follow in the fresh tracks laid by the esteemed and award winning St. Regis Resort, Aspen, which is consistently ranked as one of the best ski resorts in the world by readers of Condè Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure magazines. St. Regis is also making a significant move into the residential real estate market with exclusive Residences in New York, San Francisco, Aspen, Fort Lauderdale, Anguilla and Singapore, which are all currently under development.

Deer Crest is an exclusive, gated Deer Valley community located on over 600 acres of Little Bald Mountain between the waters of the Jordanelle to the east and the base of Deer Valley Resort. In addition to the sixty percent of Deer Crest which is set aside as open space, Deer Crest has 126 residential lots, a grouping of high-end townhomes, and now the newest member of the St. Regis Hotels & Resorts. Deer Crest is 40 minutes by I-80 and U.S. 40 from Salt Lake City International Airport and less than two miles from historic Main Street in Park City, Utah.

St. Regis Hotels & Resorts includes the world’s most celebrated and honored hotels and resorts. As the landmark St. Regis Hotel, New York celebrates its 100th anniversary, the company will unveil highly anticipated St. Regis properties in San Francisco (July 2005), Fort Lauderdale (December 2005), Anguilla (2007) and Singapore (2007) that will further extend the brand's legacy as the preeminent hotel group. A common thread unites St. Regis: an unrelenting pursuit of excellence in flawless, anticipatory service and amenities, enviable locations, luxuriously localized design, and a subtle integration of advanced technology.

Salt Lake City's Urban Resorts - Park City - Sky Lodge - Newly Completed


Park City by visions of the west photography


Main Street, Park City at the height of Sundance by indieWire

Soho meets the mountains at the best address in Park City, Utah. The Sky Lodge, a luxury boutique hotel like no other in the Mountain West, inhabits the heart of historic Old Town at the corner of Main Street and Heber Avenue.



The Easy Street Brasserie was the first step in the development of The Sky Lodge (theskylodge.com), Main Street Park City’s Five Star Boutique Condominium Hotel. Completed in Summer 2007, The Sky Lodge is the first of a revolutionary group of ResortClubsSM planned to open in choice spots around the world.

Located in the heart of Historic Old Town, The Sky Lodge is rooted in the traditions and culture of Park City which has been transformed from a rustic mining village into one of the world’s top mountain resort communities. The rugged, yet eloquent, Rocky Mountain lifestyle that defines Park City is felt throughout The Sky Lodge. A reverence for our native materials, an awareness of our unique history and a focus to creating a sense of place – these paradigms guide the design of the The Sky Lodge. Our sense of adventure, our love of the outdoors, our fun loving casual approach to living well creates the benchmarks for the culture and spirit that breathe life into the building.

In achieving its full potential, The Sky Lodge is more than a “mountain house” for owners and guests. The great small resort hotels are not inspiring or enduring solely because of their physical presence. They are places where we reconnect with nature, with our loved ones, with ourselves. Places with simple elegant attention to detail from caring people. Places where the art of hospitality is honest, straightforward and uncompromised. Places where life experiences are common place.

The Sky Lodge developer, CloudNine ResortClubs(SM), believes that the creation and operation of unique resorts, which key off the location and culture of the local community, precludes the use of “formulas” and “models” and requires a fresh approach for each property.

“I’ve had a thirty year love affair and fascination with the magic of great small hotels and restaurants,” says Bill Shoaf, founder of CloundNine ResortClubs. "These hand-crafted jewels transport their guests to another world, a wonderful world where the everyday fades away and life is lived well and with a passion for the moment.”

With over 30 years of international experience with deluxe resorts, hotels and private clubs, Bill has been instrumental in the development and operation of properties broadly recognized as the best in the world for service, quality and innovation. Past experiences include Rosewood Hotels, GigaHotels, Princess Hotels International, and Auberge Resorts, as well as assignments with individually owned resort properties and private clubs.

In addition to operational knowledge, and years of professional experience in hotel management, Bill has been directly involved in the construction management, concept development, and re-engineering for resorts, hotels and private clubs worldwide totaling over $400 million of equity investments.

“For decades people have sought out these unique small hotels to enjoy their vacations. They have found them in small towns in Tuscany, Provence and the Mountain West. They have searched them out in the side streets of Paris, New York and London. In all cases, these boutique hotels provide their guests with the finest of cuisine, uncompromised furnishings and amenities and thoughtful personalized service from a staff of dedicated hoteliers. Guests of these special hotels return year after year and, on special occasions, share them with select family and friends. These hotels become much more than a place to stay – they become personal sanctuaries where life is as it should be.”

At The Sky Lodge your vacation home will be much more than a place you visit. It will be your personal luxurious retreat full of the vibrancy, the personal pampering and the joys of life that are the magic of an exclusive small hotel. We believe that your vacation home should be your reward – a place to escape from the pressures and demands of everyday life, a place reconnect with your loved ones and friends, a place to renew your body, mind and soul.

$7 million being invested in rehab of historic Boston Building

By Barbara Rattle
The Enterprise

Now in its 100th year at 9 Exchange Place in downtown Salt Lake City, the Boston Building is being completely renovated and restored to bring back the elegance it had when it was built in 1907.

Hamilton Partners, which acquired the Boston Building last April, is investing more than $7 million to refurbish the 107,000 square foot building and restore it to near historical accuracy.

"We have been taking every opportunity we can to restore and try to bring back the original feel of the Boston Building," said Eric Smith of CB Richard Ellis, leasing agent for the building. "We're trying to bring back some of the original finishes that we know of. We're trying to bring back the ceiling heights and raise them back up to 10 feet or higher, we're trying to restore some of the window moldings that are remaining in the building, we're restoring the lobby and just doing things to bring the building back to the way it should be."

To begin the restoration, Hamilton Partners completely gutted the building above the first floor lobby in order to install a new heating and air conditioning system, new electrical systems and to provide the building with a sprinkler system. Ceilings in the first and second floor lobbies will be raised to 14 feet, and ceilings on the 11th floor will be raised to their original 16-foot height. In addition, all elevators in the building will be replaced.

While the location and the funding have been controversial. I really do love the renderings for the stadium. It is a very classy looking design with some great architectural features. I really think the design will help to make it a success for the long term. I also hope that the envisioned development, a nice mixed use, around the stadium will come to fruition(sp).
