Big residential complex coming to 400 South block


By TONY SEMERAD | The Salt Lake Tribune

http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/money/5...ntown.html.csp

One of Utah’s leading developers is planning a residential complex on prime land near the busy intersection of 400 South and 700 East in Salt Lake City.

Jake Boyer, president and CEO of The Boyer Company, confirmed his company is now in the design phase for a mixed-use project at the high profile downtown site, focused primarily on high-density housing.

The company hopes to begin construction in early 2015, he said.

The 3.18-acre cluster of parcels is tucked just east of Litzas Pizza restaurant along the University of Utah extension of the TRAX red line along 400 South. The lots sold earlier this year in what several experts said was a highly competitive bidding process, part of a regional consolidation by its prior owner, Portland-based U.S. Bakery.

Long the site of a hotdog and hamburger bun factory widely known as Franz Bakery, the land is considered a prime development spot, accessible to TRAX, downtown, the U., Trolley Square mall and a host of popular restaurants and retail businesses along the 400 South commercial corridor...

December has shown to be a good month for Sugar House. Last December Sugar House celebrated the opening of its first modern streetcar line, the S-line. This December, Salt Lake will again welcome a more urban Sugar House, with hundreds of new residents and a new urban plaza.

Construction is nearly complete for the Sugar House Crossing development and the adjacent Liberty Village apartments are expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Coinciding with the completion of these two large residential and mixed-use projects will be the opening of the new Sugar House Monument Plaza. The monument, long considered the heart of the Sugar House business district, is being expanded and remodeled to make the site into an urban plaza at the intersection of 2100 South and 1100 East...

Salt Lake City Proper - Sugar House Updates



Wilmington Gardens

The Sugar House renaissance continues. Two projects by the Woodbury Corporation are poised to completely transform Wilmington Ave. in Sugar House. The projects at 1201 Wilmington Ave and 1202 Wilmington Ave are both mixed-use and will make Wilmington Ave one of the most pedestrian friendly corridors in Sugar House.

The 1201 Wilmington, also called Wilmington Gardens, project will fully utilize its location next to Hidden Hallow Park. Residents and visitors will be able to access Hidden Hallow from Wilmington Ave. thanks to a public plaza that will be built in the center of the project. Now that the Sugar House Draw has opened and connects Hidden Hallow to Sugar House Park, the Wilmington Gardens plaza will provide another entry point to Sugar House Park.



http://www.vcbo.com

The large mixed-use project is replacing what was a long-vacant lot. Apart from the tw0-story town-homes facing Hidden Hallow park, the project consists of two buildings, one at seven-stories and the other at just two-stories. The buildings will include a combined 212 residential units and will have ground-floor commercial space. The larger building that fronts Wilmington Ave. will also provide office/commercial space at the mezzanine level. The project includes a 171-stall underground parking garage...

Downtown Update - Is A New Tallest On The Horizon For Downtown Salt Lake??



Salt Lake convention hotel attracts developers

By Michelle L. Price - Associated Press

http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7...evelopers.html

SALT LAKE CITY — Local firms and major real estate companies are among half a dozen developers interested in building a large convention hotel in the heart of Salt Lake City, a project that comes with $75 million in possible tax credits...

Sharon Pierce, with Salt Lake County's contracts and procurement division, said no bid applications had been submitted as of late Friday afternoon. Pierce said she expects bids to come in closer to the Oct. 24 deadline.

Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams said he's pleased with the early interest.

"The hope is that this private hotel will bring additional conventions to Salt Lake," McAdams said. "We're getting inquiries already from conventions who have previously passed us over and are now giving us a second look."

One interested developer is Atlanta-based Portman Holdings, which has developed hotels on a similar scale in San Diego, Atlanta and Charlotte, North Carolina.

John Portman IV, a vice president of capital markets, told The Associated Press on Friday that his firm is considering submitting a bid. If selected, they could partner with a major hotel company such as Hilton, Marriott or Starwood, which includes hotel brands such as St. Regis and Sheraton, he said.

"I think there's six or seven that you want to probably look at for something of this size, that have this unique experience in managing all this meeting space and liaising with a major convention center," Portman said.

The Salt Lake City project would be the company's first foray into Utah, as it would be for another interested developer, Omni Hotels & Resorts.

Dallas-based Omni has developed comparable hotels of 600 and 800 rooms in Fort Worth, Texas, and Nashville, Tennessee, in recent years.

Charlie Muller, an acquisitions and development consultant with Omni, said the company will "definitely" submit a proposal.

"We're excited about the opportunity, certainly, and we think that the stakeholders — the county, the city and the state — have a well-thought-out plan to provide support to this development process," Muller said.

State and local leaders say the project is needed to keep and attract conventions in Salt Lake City, including the world's largest outdoor-gear trade show. The Outdoor Retailer expo packs the downtown convention center with 20,000 people twice a year, and has committed to stay in Salt Lake City through 2016.

But organizers have warned they will move if they don't get more hotel space soon.

Salt Lake County officials say about 30 other conventions have passed over Salt Lake City because of inadequate hotel space...

...After the bid deadline, the county will create a shortlist and select a developer by the end of the year.

The next step would be choosing a site, acquiring the land and designing the hotel.

Riverton City Park Project



Riverton, Utah is getting a new renovation to the city park located off 1300 W and 12600 S. The park land was purchased in 1950 originally and cherished history and rich tradition lies here for many residents at Riverton City Park.

History & Background (Excerpt from Parks & Recreation) “Our recreational roots date back as early as 1890. It was customary for families and neighbors to gather after a days work on the farm to play baseball. From that point on, recreational programs were built up though organizations of volunteers from the community.”

Back in 1950 the city purchased the land for Riverton City Park, which is a 15 acre parcel. Volunteers built the kitchen, the pavilion, and the snack shop. In 1956 and additional 15.6 acres was purchased to complete the park. Riverton city residents were somewhat limited before the creation of Riverton City Park this to what little space the Riverton School had available for activities and celebrations such as Town Days.

Today, in 2013, Riverton has over 41,000 residents and has had more than a 20% growth rate in just the last two-three years! And with that growth comes a new generation of residents, and some pretty neat opportunities to improve the park so many residents wanted to improve.

The picture above is of the new Riverton City Park that will be complete in 2015. The new park will feature two new updated pavilions with a kitchen in one, because of COURSE we need to still be able to have that amazing annual chuckwagon breakfast on the 4th every year, along with space for families to have gatherings. The park will also have volleyball, basketball, a splash pad, more playground space and open space along with many other features.

The new Riverton City park is being funded not by resident tax dollars, but instead by a creative use of city monies, and a bond with the market offering low low interest rates, and construction costs that are also low, but on the rise. The city was smart about it’s timing and the benefit is a state of the art park where families can enjoy many more years in the heart of this cozy city.

Residents have mixed emotions as the baseball fields, a historic icon of Riverton City Park are moved to CR Hamilton Park, but all in all it’s making way for a continuance of “Peace, Progress and Tradition” in this growing town in the south west Salt Lake Valley.

A new 136 unit apartment for low income families fighting homelessness on 4000 S and Main, right by the Meadowbrook Trax station

Quote:
Together with the Housing Authority of the County of Salt Lake, Method Studio and Zwick Construction created an affordable mixed income development for both individuals and families. This project provides 136 total units of housing on 4.5 acres and successfully integrates culturally diverse group of people with widely disparate backgrounds and experiences. With thoughtful accommodation, this mixed income and market rate housing project welcomes all: market rate buyers, immigrant families, children aging out of foster care, and formerly homeless families and individuals. What was once a vacant lot in an industrial area in Salt Lake County is now an enhanced and energized development on the TRAX line. The new residents can be proud of the fresh architectural palette in their newly developed neighborhood.

This project was envisioned to be the crown jewel of several HACSL housing projects in the Salt Lake valley. This goal demanded that the architecture be unique, fresh, modern, and distinctive from nearby developments, many of which the HACSL would be competing for tenants. Method Studio designed living spaces with large amounts of light with larger windows and higher ceilings; new owners happily reported that the units feel more like condominiums and less like apartment living.

Sustainable design strategies touched on everything from construction materials to daylighting and views; the development successfully certified under the Enterprise Green Communities program. Even strategies to passively eliminate radon gas infiltration into the living units were employed. Underscoring HACSL’s commitment to the residents’ healthy living and the finished units’ energy efficient operation, the project was EnergyStar rated as well.

The building facades have been designed as a modern interpretation of the industrial area in which the project is located in tandem with improving resident safety. All exposed steel and stairwells are galvanized steel so that the maintenance of the property is minimized while aesthetically tying the buildings into their neighborhood context. 6” aluminum, knife-plate “shrouds” highlight the shadow lines at each living room window, drawing the eye to the corner-wrapping glazing which then provides an asymmetric quality to each building.

To assist new residents, visitors, and non-native English speakers with wayfinding, each building is designated with a unique, bright accent color within the exterior gray/white palette of the project. The accent colors continue on the interior hallway niches and in each unit’s kitchen, thus tying the exterior and interior together. This provides a whimsical yet utilitarian means for guiding occupants to their destination and creates a cohesive aesthetic for the project as a whole.

Central Metro - TOD - The East Village


UTA Breaks Ground On First Transit Oriented Development

UTA kicked off its first transit oriented development today at a groundbreaking attended by United States Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx. The East Village development is located adjacent to the 10000 South TRAX station and is being built as a partnership between UTA and Hamilton Partners. The development sits on land purchased for UTA’s first TRAX line with help from the Federal Transit Administration’s New Starts program.

http://www.tevliving.com

Secretary Foxx was joined at the ground breaking event by Utah Governor Gary Herbert, Utah State Senate President Wayne Niederhauser, Sandy City Mayor Tom Dolan, UTA President/CEO Michael Allegra and other civic and community leaders.

“The building of transit oriented development is just one way the Wasatch Front can prepare for future growth,” said UTA President Michael Allegra. “The combination of residential, retail and commercial properties with transit helps air quality, population growth and generally makes life better for those that live here. This is a new trend for our community and a catalyst for change.”

This mixed use development begins with groundbreaking of the $46 million Phase I, which includes a 271 unit apartment complex. It will have a density of 50 units per acre with a parking stall ratio of 1.4 stalls per unit. Four additional phases are planned which will total over 1.4 million square feet of development...read more: http://www.rideuta.com/news/2014/09/...d-development/
