Two Utah cities among best for business

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/8...-business.html

Deseret News

SALT LAKE CITY — A recent report from the Milken Institute ranked the Provo-Orem area as No. 2 and Salt Lake City as No. 5 on its list of the Top 25 Best-Performing Large Cities for business.

Rankings for the study were based on data from both long- and short-term growth in jobs, wages, salaries and technology output. Provo-Orem moved up five spots from last year’s ranking, due in part to the growing technology sector and high job growth rate, according to the report.

Salt Lake City ranked No. 5 on the Milken list due to a diverse, consistently growing economy with a positive outlook for the future, the report stated. During 2012, Utah's capital city added 2,600 professional, scientific and technical services jobs — a gain of more than 7 percent from the previous year.

According to the Governor's Office of Economic Development, the Milken Institute rankings mirrored a study by researchers at Harvard University and the University of California at Berkeley.

The study, "The Equality of Opportunity Project," mapped the 10 best and worst cities for economic mobility in the United States. The report ranked Salt Lake City as the top city for economic mobility.

Greetings from Birmingham, Alabama. You all have a beautiful city. My parents recently drove by it while going to idaho. They told me it's a prettier city than Denver. Salt Lake City has much potential and seeing that it has made a worldwide scene through the olympics, the city has taken as much advantage as they could. i can't wait to see how much it will grow in the next 10 years.

Recent Updates With Interior Tour

I asked what the approximate height of the building was. Nobody was able to estimate. Ceiling heights range from 14ft - 19ft.

There were twenty people in the group. We all had to wear hard hats and orange vests. The interiors of the elevators weren't finished yet, wood was still showing. We didn't take trips, so we all crammed in together. Everyone was touching face to face. It was quite cozy. Many took photos.

Boiler room...

Hard wood floors all throughout. The inside of the building must be kept humid so that the wood doesn't dry. Very beautiful. only problem is with 19ft high ceilings, the place echos really bad.

Every federal building has a limited budget for art. All of the money was spent on these aluminum pillars hanging down one open side of the building.

Here's looking down from the 9th floor. Trippy, but very cool.

Every floor has censors detecting how much daylight is being let in through the windows. As the sun rises, the lights slowly dim. They also detect how many people are in a room, adjusting the lights accordingly.

Judge Chamber...

Courtroom...

Entrance. Very cool.

Hope you guys enjoyed these photos and info.

111 Main Lobby Rendering

http://111mainblog.wordpress.com/#jp-carousel-342

IMO, it doesn't look as cool as the early renderings. Hopefully Hamilton downgraded the renderings like with 222 so that we'll be suprised at how nice the real thing is. But that's probably wishful thinking. Still excited, though.

delts145 · #**3798** Posted **Feb 2, 2014, 12:32 PM**

Two things seem to be happening with these newer renderings. One, they are obviously moving the design of the Tower toward a more contextual match with the Performing Arts Center. Second, I assume they're giving us the same understated picture of what the final product will be, much as they did with 222. I am certain that the end result will be well received, as was the Goldman Sachs Tower.

If we were being given the same style of rendering with this Hamilton Tower as we were with say The Regent, it would be a lot easier to interpret what lies ahead.

I would even bet that this rendering of the Tower and Theater will be about as blandly accurate when compared to the final product, as the accuracy of the Italianate Brownstone in the rendering, to the left of the Hamilton Tower.
