I pulled this over from the Salt Lake thread as this is a better place for this discussion.

I personally have said to my wife and some family members that large dying retail centers are probably some of the best locations to convert to denser construction. Many people are already used to shopping there over the years so adding retail isn't so much the issue. The issue is the demographics have changed and family sizes dropped. Something newer or better has been built nearby. In the case of 5400 S and Redwood, it really started to decline after Jordan Landing was being built.

When Taylorsville put out those ideas of a winding street through the Harmons block a few years back, I wanted to puke. It looks pretty on paper and renderings but terrible everywhere else. Those large blocks with Harmons, Walmart, Shopko, and the old Furniture Warehouse(Fred Meyer) buildings should have been cut up with streets. Then mix in some housing, commercial and hospitality with retail at the base to add more population that will end up shopping in the area. Taylorsville doesn't have much land left to develop and should start looking at ways to densify to increase its tax base.

When was the last time you were in that shopping area? They have made substantial changes in the northern block where the old Furniture Warehouse was. The opening of the new theater will also bring more changes. The area isn’t stagnant and is trying to adapt. Little by little

I only live 2 miles from it so I am there often. I was just saying that instead of remaking the same thing, the city of Taylorsville could have changed zoning for the area for higher density and added in a few streets so it could have a downtown of its own.

As much I lament sprawl, I have to admit that there are some nice looking office buildings going up out there.

Wonder what this project will turn into:

Quote:
Loren and Debbie Nielsen hung the yellow “store closing” signs in August, plenty of time — it seemed — to prepare for Wednesday’s final day of business at Wasatch Shadows Nursery.

As the couple neared retirement age — in February, Loren and Debbie will turn 65 and 63, respectively — they finally agreed it was time to sell.

Sandy is purchasing the property, but the city plans to keep it only temporarily, while it completes a master plan for the area, known as Stadium Village. The first draft of the master plan should be introduced in early 2019, explained economic development director Nick Duerksen.

Various scenarios have been discussed for the property, including a mix of restaurants, retail, residential and parking options.

Pendry Residences Park City Announced - New Canyons Village condominiums will be under Montage’s Pendry Hotels


Caroylyn Weber Alder - The Park Record -
https://www.parkrecord.com/news/new-...pendry-hotels/


The recently announced Pendry Residences Park City is expected to be completed at the Canyons Village in 2021.

Montage International is bringing another resort to Park City.

Pendry Residences Park City, a luxury condominium development, is set to go up at the base of the Canyons Village side of Park City Mountain Resort. Construction is set to start in the summer with a completion goal of winter 2021. Buyers are expected to start reserving rooms in February.

The condominiums will be managed under Montage International's new Pendry brand, which has locations in San Diego and Baltimore. The developer for the project, Brian Shirken, is president of the national real estate development and investment company Columbus Pacific, which has worked on such Park City projects as the highly debated commercial and event space on Main Street at the former site of the Kimball Arts Center and Apex Residences in Canyons Village. Montage International also owns and operates Montage Deer Valley.

Pendry Residences is expected to cover 200,000 square feet in the center of Canyons Village, wedged between the Hyatt Centric Park City, Sunrise Lodge by Hilton Grand Vacations and Sundial Lodge. There is expected to be 40,000 square feet of retail space on the plaza level. The lot is currently used as a parking lot...

...The development is set to include 150 condominium units, which range from studios to four-bedroom penthouses, Shirken said. He expects that the majority of the owners — who will likely be second-home owners — will be placing their units into the rental pool, which Pendry will help manage.

Pendry Residences are also set to have five restaurants, multiple retail shops, a rooftop pool, a spa, a kid's club, a recreation room and some bars, including one in a yurt. A large convention space will be available for conferences. Shirken hopes the amenities attract visitors from neighboring hotels as well as locals.

"We're trying to create a variety of retailers and restaurants that will be exciting and interesting for the residents of Park City," he said.

Under Construction - 'Lift Park City' coming to Canyons Village



61 SPACIOUS RESIDENCES

LIFT PARK CITY
With a new gondola connecting the Park City and Canyons ski areas, Park City Mountain becomes the largest ski resort in the US. At its base, Canyons Village is being transformed into a vibrant pedestrian neighborhood of new shops, restaurants, and gathering places. And at the heart of this expanded village is Lift: an intimate collection of modern residences adjacent to the Sunrise chairlift, steps from intriguing boutiques and sunny après patios, with a one-of-a-kind pool deck overlooking Retreat ski-home trail.

The Park City experience starts at Canyons Village, which is being transformed into a vibrant four-season center for recreation, celebration, and exploration. Lift is at the heart of the new village and adjacent to a future high-speed chairlift that gives you quick access to fresh powder. Ski straight to your pool deck’s fire pits and hot tubs, then walk over to the vibrant restaurants, shops, and après-ski scene that are the pulse of Canyons Village. Developed by the world-renowned team that played a key role in the creation of resort villages at Whistler, Mammoth, and Copper Mountain, Lift is every inch a place to call home.

Sandy - Repurpose for historic structure


By Carter Williams, KSL.com | Updated - Jan 9th, 2019 https://www.ksl.com/article/46464805...-utah-location


https://media.deseretdigital.com/file/b667e55666?resize=width_1200&type=jpg&c=6&a=e0717f4c[/IMG]

SALT LAKE CITY — Fast-food lovers, rejoice! A popular international burger chain is coming to Utah.

Shake Shack, which currently has locations in 26 states and the District of Columbia, will open its first Utah location in Sandy in "mid-to-late 2019," according to Meg Castranova, a spokeswoman for the company. Shake Shack also has multiple locations across the world.

"We’re always on the lookout for compelling locations in great neighborhoods and communities, so we are so excited to be opening in Salt Lake," she said in a statement to KSL.com.

Shake Shack will be located at 11020 S. State Street. Robert Booth, director of development for Draper-based Wadsworth Development Group, which owns the property, said the restaurant will take the south half of the old Crescent Elementary School.

Shake Shack's property will be 4,660 square feet and will have an outdoor patio, according to Castranova. Drawings of the building include school themes planned to match the area, Booth said.

The building was constructed in the 1930s, added onto in the 1950s and it eventually became an alternative high school before it closed more than a decade ago, Booth said. Wadsworth Development Group purchased the property in 2016 and sought input on what should be done with the building.

Comments from the public and Sandy City indicated people wanted the group to repurpose the building instead of tearing it down, Booth said.

"This building has been vacant for some time," he said. "(It's) actually on the National Historic Registry and so we looked at how we could utilize this building."...

I was driving on 215 heading to West Jordan from Salt Lake City to visit my parents.
As I looked on in the distance I notice what seemed to be the skeleton of a sky scraper in West Valley. As I got closer I noticed it was a new high rise going up across from Valley Fair Mall. It was pretty tall for that area, it actually looked good. It seemed to be about 10 or 12 stories, which in my opinion looked nice. Any idea what is being constructed there? Sorry I did not have the time to stop and take a photo.
