The Fleet Block is part of an underused warehouse district that will, with intelligent urban planning, become a vibrant community and research hub. The site is 120 acres southwest of downtown Salt Lake City. Owned by the city and previously used for fleet storage and maintenance, it is well-served by alternative transportation, including an adjacent light rail station and a proposed streetcar loop.

The team will employ creative adaptive-reuse strategies: the Silo Towers will be convereted into a landmark with signage; Restaurant Row will incorporate historic brick buildings; and the existing rail line will become a pedestrian/bike path connecting Restaurant Row and Fleet Block Area to the ballpark stadium one mile east.

The Fleet Block Redevelopment Framework will serve as a guide as this area grows into a pedestrian-friendly, human-scaled, mixed-use neighborhood. A broad range of housing types, from live-work studios to family-oriented townhomes, will create the density needed to support complementary desired amenities and services, and provide a workforce for tech, medical, educational, and creative industry tenants.

Project goals will align with the new Delos WELL Building Standard, which places health and wellness at the center of design and construction decisions. Fleet Block development goals for the project include creating a dynamic business and research community, with multi-use conference/innovation center, and weaving that into a lively retail destination. These uses would take full advantage of the Fleet Block’s proximity to the airport, University of Utah, and Research Park.
