Here's a new project on 400 S between 200W and 300 W, behind the liquor store: the "BRIX." It will be 11-stories (120 ft to roofline) and have 138 apartment units. No ground-floor commercial, the street is faced by windows that look into the tenant gym and leasing office.
I think it looks good from the west but the street face is very plain/ugly.
Awesome plans old and new! I have long day dreamed of city creek being extended through that whole block and continuing the walkways. Sadly the new tower will have above ground parking but hopefully the big staircase and park on top makes it less of an eyesore. Also I doubt we will salvage the theater, but this kinda style would be a perfect blueprint for how they should move forward with the block. Lastly, Waimea chill bruh you are giving a bad name to Aina and the beautiful Waimea Bay. Or Waimea on the Big Island, which ever one you are referencing.
That’s why I’m saying, throw all the parking below grade like city creek center. It’s very possible the Pantages Theatre will be saved.
Additional & clean (without all the lines/details) renderings of the proposed development. Developers have filed for a design review with SLC. 138 total residential units ranging from studio to 3 bedroom units (3 bedrooms is relatively unique). The project calls for the addition of a public midblock walkway and public gym to activate the pedestrian experience.
I went ahead and put all the parking on the block below-grade, and opened up the block with a new North - South street. It's crazy how much additional things you can throw in there and still have it feel more open than before by just getting rid of the above-grade parking ramps. Like the Presiding Bishop said when presenting the plans for City Creek Center: "There's NOTHING vibrant about parking."
I genuinely love this idea!!! This would be amazing to have, especially right across from the convention center, really activating the space. It would also create amazing flow between city creek, the convention center, Main Street, 100 South, and 200 South.
Nice to see more dense infill. Although, the facade facing 4th is kind of deadly. The city shouldn't allow that much blank facade facing the principal street. That's just bad design.

I hope it's the same architect that designed Casa Milagro because I would hate to think there are two architects who design blank walls facing the street
The second phase of the @2100 project, called simply @2100 II, has filed a Design Review with the city. It will include 160 residential units and stand 6 floors (77 feet tall).
Project Overview
Quote:
@2100 II is a transit-friendly apartment community consisting of 160 luxury apartment homes including a range of studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom floorplans. The land for this proposed development sits on 1.98 acres located at 1967 South 300 West in the People’s Freeway Neighborhood of the Central Community District near the Central Pointe Trax Station. Parcel #16-13-453-024. The density of this development is (160/1.98) 81 units per acre.
The intent and design of @2100 II is to create a beautiful focal point and flagship development in the community. This will be accomplished with an attractive architectural design and use of upscale building materials such as glass, stone and natural wood-like Hardie Board. The building’s architecture will incorporate breaks in wall planes, balconies, changes in exterior materials, projections, distinctive cornices, parapets and feature a rooftop terrace for resident gatherings, relaxation and 360-degree views to surrounding mountains and valley.
The renderings included with this application demonstrate the developer’s intention of upgrading the streetscape to coordinate with the planned renovation of 300 West. @2100 II will replace the current retail warehouse building built in the 1960’s and considered relatively blighted in comparison to all of the new businesses and residential communities that have been built recently along 300 West.
@2100 II will be a gathering place for residents and their guests which will include an interior courtyard featuring attractive landscaping, a sparkling swimming pool, relaxing hot tub, and welcoming waterfall. The 5,000 sq. ft. resident community center will host a social activity lounge that will look out into the courtyard, a state-of-the-art fitness and yoga center, mail and package room, and leasing office. Two modern elevators on each side of the resident community center will shuttle residents from the two level, climate-controlled parking garage to the four residential levels above the garage.
All exterior entrances will feature remote access control allowing residents to admit guests and deliveries via a special app on their smartphone. Cutting edge, fiber optic high-speed internet will deliver user-friendly seamless broadband throughout the community and courtyard allowing residents to stream their favorite shows and music, the moment they enter @2100 II, Luxury Apartment Community. The property will be pet-friendly with a dedicated outdoor pet park featuring our famous “Fido hydrant” for residents and their pets to enjoy. Inside the community, residents will have access to a Pet Wash & Grooming Station. Cycling enthusiasts will enjoy a fully equipped Bicycle Repair Shop and Bike Storage Facility located on the main garage level.
This new apartment community will help meet the increasing demand for apartment living and replace the aging inventory of many apartment buildings in Salt Lake City. Additionally, due to its location and
construction, @2100 II will be much more affordable than comparable units in the downtown Salt Lake and Sugarhouse areas.
Land Description
Quote:
The current property owners have been at this location since 1980. These owners have witnessed the gradual transformation of the neighborhood from a light industrial, manufacturing and warehousing submarket to a vibrant commercial retail district and envision @2100 II to be the catalyst of bringing in much needed consumer spending and transit-friendly living to this improving neighborhood.
This property and the land adjacent to it down to 2100 South has been designated by Salt Lake City as High-Density Transit Oriented Development (50 or more dwelling units/acres) per the Central Community Future Land Use Map adopted November 1, 2005.
The current rental market is looking for living environments that have generous access to public transportation as well as to modern amenities within the community to enhance their lifestyle. @2100 II is a development that combines these two needs seamlessly.
Conclusion
Quote:
The proposed @2100 II Luxury Apartment Community will replace an old blighted warehouse building with a fresh, modern look along 300 West. It is ideally located for its residents to seamlessly connect their living, work, recreational and entertainment lifestyles. In addition to protecting and improving the quality of life for everyone, @2100 II will help meet the demands of a growing population and lend itself to public transportation opportunities and reduce carbon emissions in the valley.
@2100 II Luxury Apartment Community will lead the change from the area being the People’s Freeway Neighborhood to the People’s Neighborhood highlighted by increased pedestrian, bicycle and the utilization of public transportation.
Regarding the street-facing front, I like the base with its glass transparency and the left half of the building particularly with the 2nd and third-floor landscaped terraces. However, I definitely agree that the right half needs an upgrade. Perhaps corner windows or if that's not value engineered enough an attractive top to bottom artwork to the right of the narrow strip of windows maybe something depicting the rich history of that neighborhood could be very engaging and a lot better than nothing. On the left half above floor three, they could do a narrower but corresponding artwork.

The scattered windows on the sides are really nice and unique considering what is generally built in this city. Not sure why they didn't keep the same design elements on the front :/
Also..with this and the Bookbinder project the liquor store is gonna be surrounded by pretty decent looking apartment buildings. Anyone know if the liquor store is gonna close when the new one on 300s eventually opens? Looking like thats gonna be a prime corner
I think overall the design is nice. Nothing stellar, but decent. It's just the lack of prioritizing the facade on 4th south. They need to add more windows on that side. In Seattle, there are restrictions against blank facades.
They also need some more variation in color on that facade. It's very drab.

With the new 300s store, I wonder if they will close the smaller wine/liquor store currently on 300e. Then hopefully they keep this 400s store open, or have a second west downtown location planned.

Old & New, you really should be hired by the city. Your ideas are excellent.
On another note, I noticed that nothing is really happening with a couple of lots. The ModaLux and a lot on North temple. Any reasons for delays?
SAPA Investment Group has filed a commercial building permit for:

Sapa Corporate Office Expansion
New Construction of a 3 story building addition. 1st floor is to be used as retail space. 2nd and 3rd floors are to be used as office space by Sapa Investment Group, the current tenants on the 2nd floor of 726 S State Street.
I haven't heard of this planned expansion, has anyone else?
The only thing that I can find in my records is that the Sears Block redevelopment project seems to maybe include it in this image:
P.S. in an unrelated comment, I still cannot get over how large Post House appears in this image. I'm really excited for that project to be finished.
SALT LAKE CITY, Utah — Dozens of residents rallied in Salt Lake City to protest a new luxury apartment complex in the downtown area that would displace at least seven high-risk families.
On Saturday, protestors said developments like the KOZO House Apartments target the most vulnerable community members, leaving them without a home or affordable options.
The project will demolish seven single-family homes in order to make space for a 312-unit building located on the block of 175 North and 600 West.
The evicted families were renters who said they were given no say in the matter, and with sky-rocketing costs of housing, many of them were at risk of becoming homeless, not to mention, forced to leave the only community they knew.
“I am tired of hiding there crying. I’m tired of not knowing what to do,” said Tina Holt-Balderrama. “My best hope today is to get some of these families helped. I want some help. I want somebody that doesn’t just say I know about this project. I want somebody to put their foot down and do something about this project.”
Residents said moving into the new apartment complex once it’s built was an unaffordable and unrealistic option as those making less than $56,000 a year would not qualify.
The project was tabled or put on hold last October, and it looks like it’s undergoing a design review with the planning commission.
Is anti-development sentiments getting out of hand in Salt Lake?
