This is the new City Creek Center, under construction at the heart of Downtown. It will cover 2 1/2 (25 acres) Salt Lake City blocks. Keep in mind that it is not too detailed yet, as far as the finish materials on the buildings. Materials used will be natural brick and stone & granite panels throughout, (no overabundance of stucco here, thank goodness.) I apologize in advance, if the soundtrack sticks in your head.

Enjoy!

Thats a pretty impressive development for a city that size.

While Salt Lake City itself is smaller at roughly 180,000 people, don't let that fool you. The solid mass of adjoining communities creates a population of 2.2 million and growing at a feverish rate. Downtown Salt Lake City is the undisputed hub, and billions have and are currently being committed to downtown residential and projects like City Creek. Also, commuter rail, light rail, new freeways etc. have been built and are currently under-construction, or about to commence. This all enchances the 'go-to destination' and connection of the downtown core to it's metro mass, which is one of the fastest growing in the nation.

City Creek will give Salt Lake a better downtown. Some sections of this development have the ambiance of San Antonio's Riverwalk mainly @ Rivercenter mall's lagoon which was built in 1988. The S.A. River flows through hotel lobbys, historic districts, plazas and squares and soon to be an amazing stretch of 12 miles.

City Creek will definetley give downtown Salt Lake the edge over many other downtowns in the country.

It's already creating quite the ripple effect in development, even though it will be 3-4 years before it's completion. This and the huge amount of mass- transit construction going on, will be the ushering in of a whole new era for Downtown Salt Lake.

I'll bring this thread out of the back pages for you Jonovision. Thanks for your interest.

Work is progressing very well, and on schedule. This is a pic from this past week of a section of the 25 acre construction site.
