Salt Lake City's airport expansion hits 'extraordinary milestone' as crews top off north concourse


By Katie McKellar for the Deseret News - https://www.deseretnews.com/article/...concourse.html

SALT LAKE CITY — The massive, yearslong expansion of Salt Lake City International Airport has reached another big milestone: the placement of the north concourse's final steel beam.

Raised 56 feet in the air, the beam — covered in signatures of construction workers and city officials, draped with an American flag and topped with a small pine tree in honor of the Scandinavian tradition — highlighted the project's topping-off ceremony Tuesday.

The ceremony marked T-minus "545 days and 11 hours and so many minutes" until the opening of the airport expansion's first phase, slated for Sept. 15, 2020, said Bill Wyatt, executive director of the Salt Lake City Department of Airports...

...While the enormous construction site was "just a mud pit" when it began, Wyatt credited workers with playing a part to build an airport that will put Utah's capital on the global map.

"This project is going to have an economic impact and a cultural impact on the future of this community in ways few can understand, and it's because of your efforts," he told a crowd of construction workers who attended the ceremony.

Wyatt said Tuesday morning he walked through the underground tunnel now connecting the south concourse with the future north concourse, which only recently saw daylight after it's been "entombed" for over a decade, "waiting for this project to happen," he said...



Workers watch as the final beam is placed on the north concourse at the Salt Lake City International Airport during a topping-off ceremony on Tuesday, March 19, 2019. The airport is currently undergoing a $3.6 billion airport expansion.

Updates - Sugar House District - Development continues unabated in the Sugar House Business District, with a mix of commercial and residential projects underway.


By Mike Fife - Full Rundown @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/in-...still-booming/

21 By Urbana

21 by Urbana, the latest apartment building to be completed in the Sugar House Business District is leasing its 126 residential units in the five-story building sitting along the south side of 900 East block of 2100 South. The project’s developers, Gardiner Properties were able to build the structure without ground-level retail by emphasizing the wide variety of restaurants and retail in the immediate vicinity. Instead of retail, the ground floor includes nine two-bedroom walk-up units with entries on 2100 South and 1000 East.

Surgarmont Apartments

This large residential project will contain a mix of 34 studio apartments, 206 one-bedrooms, 93 two-bedrooms and 19 three-bedroom townhome units. The project’s two buildings
sit between Elm Avenue and Sugarmont Drive along McClelland Street. The project wraps around a parcel on the southwest corner of Elm Avenue and Highland Drive.

Park Avenue

The 9-acre Park Avenue development by Westport Capital Partners LLC is located between Highland Drive and 1300 East just north of I-80. Phase One of the project is under construction and will consist of a five-story building that will house the University of Utah Sugar House Health Center in a 170,000 square foot facility and a six-story 150,000 square foot office building. The medical building is framed out and the parking under the office building and under the central portion of the project is about half completed. Phase Two will complete the project with a seven-story mixed-use residential building on the west side of the project towards Highland Drive. The Phase Two structure will include 208 residential units above ground floor retail.

Stringham Avenue will be rebuilt along the north side of the project. The residential mixed-use building and the medical building will be built along Stringham Avenue as well as an art gallery which will hide the parking structure from the new street.

ARCHITECTURAL DIGEST - The 9 Best New University Buildings Around the World


Some of the world’s most famous architects—Robert A.M. Stern, David Piscuskas, Thom Mayne, among them—went back to the books to marry design and academia

Lacey Morris for Architectural Digest
Full List of 9 best and Copy @ https://www.architecturaldigest.com/...ound-the-world

Lassonde Studios, University of Utah


One of the first design elements guests of the University of Utah’s Lassonde Studios will notice is an all-copper façade. The $45 million project by Yazdani Studio of Cannon Design in association with EDA Architects opened in August 2016, and its copper exterior is made to fade and change color as it ages. Lassonde Studios is part of the Lassonde Entrepreneur Institute, a division of the David Eccles School of Business, and its innovative design was made to attract the brightest young entrepreneurs to the university. The structure is built on a grid system, which will allow rooms to be easily reconfigured as demands for the space fluctuate.

University of Utah OKs $80 million expansion of Rice-Eccles Stadium

...The stadium’s current capacity is approximately 45,800, although it held 47,825 people for a football game against the University of Michigan in 2015, according to Wikipedia. It is one of the smaller stadiums among PAC-12 universities.

The expansion would bring the capacity to 51,000 seats and include premium seating, which is presently sold out at the stadium, said U. Athletic Director Mark Harlan.

Later this week, the Utah State Board of Regents will consider the U.’s amended campus master plan, which includes an upgrade of the stadium. The board will consider the stadium expansion bond at that time.

Harlan said there are two overriding concerns with the project: that it not hurt the university financially and that the U. football program continue its sellout streak. Projections suggest the project is on solid ground financially, he said.

"It's a sense of pride and something other universities would crave for," he added.

The project will include improvements in dressing facilities that are sorely needed, he said.

"We’ll be able to run our games in a PAC-12 manner," Harlan said.

Downtown Update - The Birdie


Isaac Riddle Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/com...town-building/

Usually, when a developer goes before the Salt Lake City Planning Commission for a height variance, they are requesting additional height. But developers, CW Urban have argued that building up to the minimum height requirement for a small downtown corner lot would be too difficult. And during Wednesday’s commission meeting, commission members agreed, unanimously approving the developer’s Planned Development request to build a scaled-down mixed-use project at the southwest corner of the 200 South and 200 East intersection.

That project, The Birdie, will be six stories with 70 residential units. The Birdie will top out at just under 85 feet, 15 feet under the minimum height requirement of 100 feet for corner parcels in the D-1 (Central Business District) zoning district. The project will replace a surface parking lot on 0.34 acres.

Planning staff determined that the intent of the zoning requirements was to ensure that corner buildings have prominence at the intersection. Staff argued that The Birdie would have prominence based on its planned ground floor activation, large balconies and architectural relationship to the intersection’s two historic buildings, the Stratford Hotel (2nd and 2nd) building and First Methodist Episcopal Church...

Each wing hosts a first-year Honors floor to create holistic academic cohorts. This precinct marks the southeast gateway to campus where the master plan concept is inspired by scaled housing over a more urban mixed-use format, with dining, academic and community spaces that weave exterior places into the existing campus fabric. The ground floor is highly transparent and open to campus where social, academic, wellness, and dining space allows students to create their own thriving 24-hour neighborhood. A hearth, geek bar, and large multipurpose classroom serve as centerpieces of the main floor. A gracious north exterior courtyard is embraced by onlooking residents, a porch, café, and exterior-accessed grill restaurant. Site planning allows a future fourth wing to add up to 9 new residential communities and a new south courtyard, as a flexible option to the University...

New City Fire Stations - Net Zero Stations #14 & #3

It’s also expected to become certified as LEED Gold, which means it meets a range of holistic sustainability benchmarks, including material management, waste diversion, water conservation, energy efficiency, renewable energy, and more. Salt Lake City’s internal Comprehensive Sustainability Policy (6.01.02) specifies that all new municipal construction should be evaluated to meet Net Zero energy standards (if over 10,000 square feet), as well as LEED Gold.

Station 3 is one example of Salt Lake City’s commitment to sustainability, as well as the 100 percent renewable-energy goal described in our Climate Positive 2040 plan. The thoughtful design features are anticipated to result in long-term environmental and economic benefits for our city and the surrounding areas...

Downtown Adj. - Phase III of West Station Moves Forward


Isaac Riddle Reports - Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/com...tside-project/

Another large residential project is coming to the growing residential cluster near North Temple and Redwood after the Salt Lake City Planning Commission approved with conditions a Planned Development request from developers, Henderson Development, to build two five-story buildings with a combined 299 residential units as part of the third phase of the West Station Apartments, at the 100 North block of Redwood Road.

“We are very excited about the area,” said developer, Blake Henderson. “Creating an inviting space in a place where people can congagrate is very important to me.”...

...The first two phases of the West Station Apartments are already one of the largest multifamily residential developments in the growing residential node on the 1700 to 1900 West blocks of North Temple. The four-story, 145-unit first phase opened late 2015. The project’s second phase, a four-story 148-unit building, opened earlier this year and is directly north of the site of the proposed third phase...

Central Metro - Park City Update - Mayflower Mountain Resort
First Look: Sundance's New "Resort Mecca" to Feature Luxury Homes, 5 New Ski Lifts




Paul Benson, of Engel & Volkers, credits two factors for Park City's allure: While the 2002 Winter Olympics helped get the ball rolling, he says, the film festival and its own continued growth (nearly 125,000 people attended in 2018 with, by one estimate, $191.2 million in economic impact) has arguably moved the needle much further. "Sundance put us on the map," Benson says. "The film festival exposed this town to people who probably would never have come to Utah, and it has helped create a resort real estate mecca."

Peter Kiefer for the Hollywood Reporter - https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/ne...hotels-1178296

Massive villages are planned for Park City and the surrounding area to appeal to the film festival crowd that "probably would never have come to Utah."
Sundance isn't the only attraction that lures Hollywood to the slopes of Park City. Justin Bieber, Katherine Heigl and Will Smith all own homes in the area (Jeffrey Katzenberg recently sold one) prized for its great skiing and easy access from L.A. (less than two hours' flight to nearby Salt Lake City).

Now entertainment industry second-home hunters can look forward to a massive development project underway just a few miles southeast of Park City's main drag. Envisioned as an eastern portal of the Deer Valley Resort, this new ski village almost certainly will extend the footprint of the Sundance Film Festival.

In September, officials from Wasatch County approved a plan — the largest project in county history — hatched by New York-based Extell Development Co. to build a high-end destination resort, Mayflower Mountain, at the Mayflower exit off U.S. Route 40. "We're talking about 3.2 million square feet of development, so this is bigger than any concentrated area of Deer Valley," says Engel & Volkers broker Mark Sletten, who's based in Park City.

Headed up by Gary Barnett, Extell is one of the most prolific residential developers in New York City. In 2017, Extell purchased 2,300 acres of land west of the Jordanelle Reservoir (see map); the Mayflower Mountain Resort will stretch across 940 acres of that land.

The plan, rolling out in phases over the next two decades, will result in 1,500 residential units — a mixture of homes, hotel rooms and condominiums, most will be in the luxury price range (around $1,500 per square foot). Among the several planned hotels, at least one will be five-star, with another dedicated to members of the military. More than 250,000 square feet of commercial and retail space are planned, along with a 68,000-square-foot recreation center and 95,000 square feet of housing set aside for the future Mayflower workforce. Five new Deer Valley ski lifts will be added, as will extensive skiable terrain.

The greenlighting of the Mayflower caps a five-year boom in local real estate. The median 2018 sale price of a Park City home was $585,000, up 8 percent from 2017, with total market volume up 3 percent, according to figures provided by The Agency — the Beverly Hills real estate powerhouse that opened its first Park City office in July.

Two of the area's luxury resorts — Montage and Stein Eriksen — also are expanding and upgrading. And a new Pendry resort is under construction in Park City, set to open in the winter of 2021 (Pendry is a subsidiary of Montage) with 150 rooms and suites, along with luxury residences ranging from studios to four-bedroom homes. The Stein Eriksen Lodge just finished a $14 million renovation that includes a new restaurant, an entertainment space, a theater, cafe and apres-ski outdoor heated plaza.

Central Metro - Park City Update - Star Hotel Teardown and Redevelopment


Jay Hamburger, for the Park Record - https://www.parkrecord.com/news/park...e-power-tools/

A crew on Monday morning started to prepare an old, decrepit Main Street hotel to be torn down, the initial steps in what will be an extraordinarily rare takedown of a building on the shopping, dining and entertainment strip.

The workers, using power and manual tools, spent time on Monday tearing away the exterior layer of stucco on the Main Street side of the Star Hotel. The stucco came off quickly while the workers used brute force to dislodge cement. Stonework was revealed in one section of the building as the workers removed the exterior layer.


The operation had been expected for several months with there seeming to be at one point the possibility of the work starting prior to the Sundance Film Festival in January. The work was delayed until after Sundance and the heavy snows that struck in February. The contractor, Brassey & Company, said on Monday the full demolition of the building could start by the end of March.

The Park City Building Department is overseeing the work while the Park City Planning Department is monitoring the teardown to ensure the workers comply with plans to preserve historic materials that would be used as the property is redeveloped. The foundation, made of rock, will be preserved and incorporated into a development, as an example.

"It can pretty much come down," said Bruce Erickson, the planning director at City Hall.

Main Street will lose an old building as the Star Hotel is taken down, but City Hall officials determined the structure in unsafe. The Planning Department in early March indicated there was a potential of the roof collapsing inward under the weight of the snow and ice.

City Hall's Old Town panel, the Historic Preservation Board, and the Park City Board of Adjustment previously voted to maintain the Star Hotel's designation as a significant building as part of a municipal government-kept inventory of historic sites. Buildings with that designation cannot be torn down under most circumstances, but officials in the case of the Star Hotel agreed to allow the demolition based on the poor condition and the danger to the public.

The Star Hotel was incorporated into a small historic house decades ago. The project involves a redevelopment that includes a building that will appear to be a full restoration of the Star Hotel, the full restoration of the small historic house and a small addition.

Update - Salt Lake City's New Inland Port - Why the future of Caltrain is being built in Salt Lake City


https://www.mercurynews.com/2019/02/...h-stadler/amp/

Stadler of Switzerland's U.S.A. Campus, Salt Lake City at the (new inland port) - Phase I Construction of Stadler Complete

https://bloximages.newyork1.vip.town...7852.image.png

Under Construction

The electrification project is aimed at getting more people to ride the rail. The new trains will still run at 79 mph, the same as the current maximum speed, but they’ll be much faster at stopping and starting. That means they can fit in more stops in less time.

Quote:
Another plus: The ride will be a lot smoother than today’s sometimes bone-shaking experience, thanks to the electric acceleration and special air cushioning around the wheels.

Quote:
Signs of progress were clear on a recent afternoon at Stadler’s Salt Lake City facility. Six bright and shiny red-and-white train cars stood out on the assembly floor, skeletons waiting to be filled with the guts of the train’s interior. Workers in bright orange vests aimed laser trackers to mark locations for bolts and screws and started to install stairs and other components.

Even as the work progressed, construction continued on the facility itself, which includes a massive warehouse for hundreds of train parts and special rooms to work on different pieces of the new trains. Big Swiss and U.S. flags hung from the walls.

“In March last year, we literally had cows grazing out here,” said Jacob Splan, the energetic construction manager, as he gave a whirlwind tour of the sprawling plant. “It’s a mad dash right now to finish it.”

Quote:
The car shells make an impressive journey from Stadler’s factory in Altenrhein, Switzerland: They’re trucked to Basel, boated down the Rhine River to Antwerp, shipped across the Atlantic to Houston and then delivered via rail to Salt Lake City.

Quote:
Why Salt Lake City? Utah has a big logistics and transportation industry, and Stadler also is receiving generous tax incentives from the city and the state. Thanks to the Mormon Church’s wide-ranging missionary program, the region also has a lot of bilingual people — German and English can both be heard on the factory floor.

And the folks from Switzerland feel at home among the mountain peaks and snow of the Salt Lake Valley region. “It looks almost the same to me,” said Christoph Brocker, the project manager, who had worked on similar train projects in Austria and Switzerland before coming to the U.S. to build Caltrains.

One difference between working in Switzerland and Utah: “Don’t ask your people to come to work on a Sunday here — they won’t show up,” Brocker said. “But they’ll work twice as hard on a Saturday.”

I need to get over there and get some pictures! These new shells and finished cars will be my new white whales.

(Artist's rendition courtesy of Cowboy Properties) Cowboy Properties and Boyer Co. are looking to build a 24-story apartment building on the east side of State Street between
the Federal Building on 100 South and the Maverik headquarters building on 200 South. The $90 million project is being praised for its prospects of bringing more residents to downtown Salt Lake City.
