Ritzy Rentals: America’s 10 Priciest Neighborhoods for Apartment Dwellers

https://www.thesmitsteam.com/blog/ritzy-...st-neighborhoods-for-apartment-dwellers/

Loads of software engineers are moving from high-priced tech hubs like Silicon Valley and Seattle to work in smaller, more affordable Salt Lake City. And the lower prices means they can splurge on a swanky pad in the quieter, primarily residential, old-money neighborhood of Capital Hill.

“A lot of younger professionals are moving here and making decent money, but they are renting because they don’t know yet if they’ll be here long-term,” says Trey Leonard, a global real estate adviser at Engel & Volkers Park City.

That’s created a boom for upscale neighborhoods near the city center like Capital Hill and Greater Avenues. This area is squeezed between downtown and the Wasatch Mountains north of town. There are some large two-bedrooms units in recently built luxury condo buildings with pools and rooftop lounges that rent for around $3,500.

“Many of these homes have simply amazing views of the city skyline and the mountains,” Leonard says.

For approximately 100 almost seamless miles north to south the eastern neighborhoods of Salt Lake City's greater CSA are built on the sides of the Wasatch Mountain benches. This Topographical feature allows for developers to get very creative when it comes to view lots for both single-family residential and multi-story apartment/condo dwellings.

Downtown Update - The Exchange

Covering more than 2 acres of prime downtown real estate... The Exchange is a joint venture between Giv Development, a local development firm, and Domain Properties, a New York based real estate firm. Both organizations focus on building and enhancing the surrounding community, in addition to the physical development. It was designed by KTGY Architecture + Planning. As part of the City's Civic Campus, this mixed-use development will sit just east of the Salt Lake City Public Library. The Exchange is planned to include 216 market-rate and 196 affordable residential units, which will add much needed density to the area. The number of units will total 412 units. Current plans have more than 20,000 square feet of street-front retail space. This ground floor space will be anchored by an international food hall and marketplace in partnership with the International Rescue Committee’s Spice Kitchen business incubator program. Other notable features of the development will include “The Shop at Salt Lake City”, Domain’s innovative co-working and business accelerator platform. The 30,000-square foot space will offer amenities and programming aimed at stimulating entrepreneurship, small business development, and community engagement. The proposal highlights the use of art and green space and commitment to energy efficiency and will be a great addition to the Civic Campus.

With commission approval both phases of The Exchange move forward

Downtown Update - Liberty Sky

“We’re excited to see residential on State Street, which is a fairly new addition to the ecosystem,” said Christian Harrison, the Downtown Community Council chairman.
“It is a good sign that State Street is turning a corner. We do hope it spurs more development farther south along State Street.”

“Offices are daytime [operations] and don’t create vibrancy or activity in the evenings. In downtown, they create dead zones,” Planning Director Norris added. “Apartments put eyes on
public spaces basically all day long. Those residents tend to go out at night and walk around the neighborhood. It enlivens downtown.”


(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.

The Salt Lake Tribune - By Mike Gorrell - Convinced that downtown living is increasingly desirable, real-estate developers Cowboy Properties and Boyer Co. are building a 24-story apartment building on State Street between 100 and 200 South...

...The $90 million high-rise would include roughly 300 apartment units and a rooftop swimming pool. A five-story parking terrace would be built on its east side, hidden from street views by surrounding buildings.

Although rent levels would vary, Cowboy Properties President and CEO Dan Lofgren said most would cost near the “top of the market in today’s market. We’ll have studios to very large two bedrooms, units that
go for under $1,000 [a month] while some of the largest will be several thousand.”...

...“As the downtown residential market has evolved, and as we massaged what we thought was the best option, this residential tower emerged,” Lofgren said. “Downtown Salt Lake City has become an amenity-rich environment.
It’s become a great neighborhood. The pieces that were missing 10 years ago — not that it was bad then — are now filled in.“

First and foremost: the Harmons City Creek market at 135 E. 100 South. “The grocery store makes it a neighborhood,” Lofgren said. “For many household configurations, the option of living downtown has become the
preferred option. These are households hoping to live without a car, households looking for the convenience of being close to work, households energized by all the activities downtown,
households attracted to this notion of a high-rise and the views and lifestyle it offers.”

At the projected rent levels, he sees these apartments appealing to people working at high-tech and financial-services companies, law firms and banks. Retirees also are likely renters, Lofgren added,
“drawn especially by the arts downtown — the symphony, the ballet, Eccles Theater. That’s a pretty full basket of offerings.”...

...Planning Director Norris said the shift from office tower to residential high-rise is “certainly consistent with our master plan policies, which try to increase the number of people living downtown.”

Downtown Update - The Olive 120

https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/V2-1024x602.jpg

Taylor Anderson Reports, Full Article @ https://www.buildingsaltlake.com/downtow...the-border-of-pioneer-park-in-the-depot/ Downtown’s housing boom continues, as C.W. Urban recently began construction on its next housing project: a six-story, 120-unit for-sale condo building on Broadway, just north of Pioneer Park.

C.W. Urban recently broke ground on the building, named The Olive in the Centerville-based company’s now-familiar naming mechanism. The company continues rapidly building mid-density, multi-family buildings across Salt Lake City.

The Olive will complete the corridor of mixed-use buildings moving toward the historic Rio Grande Depot, an area that is likely to see a development boom in the coming years. The Olive will add more ground-floor retail to the northwest corner of Pioneer Park.

Construction on The Olive has already replaced the office space that once housed the digital agency Underbelly, which moved north of Pioneer Park. The D-3, Downtown warehouse zoning calls for either the adaptive reuse or replacement of warehouse space with mixed-use, multi-family spaces.

“Some notable features about the building are a podium level outdoor garden area, rooftop urban lounge, ground floor commercial, high-end designer finishes and a City Lyft Parking Solutions system,” said Abbie Wardle, the company’s senior marketing coordinator.

C.W. Urban is underway on 400 townhomes and podium-stye condos and apartments in neighborhoods across the region.

The Olive will be the company’s first for-sale project Downtown, with studios through penthouse

Downtown - Back Alley/Parking Garage Access Regent Street now a downtown destination

Jasen Lee - Deseret News, https://www.deseretnews.com/article/9000...t-street-now-a-downtown-destination.html

SALT LAKE CITY — A few short years ago, Regent Street in downtown Salt Lake City was little more than an access road for business deliveries and the entrance to a multi-level parking garage for a few nearby companies.

Today, the once off-the-beaten-path thoroughfare is now one of the primary connectors between Gallivan Center to the south and City Creek Center on the north, placing it right in the middle of downtown's main entertainment district.

When the much-heralded George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater opened in the spring of last year, civic leaders hoped it would be the next jewel in the crown of the downtown business and entertainment hub — complementing City Creek Center, the 111 Main and 222 Main office towers, along with the new Broadway-style theater venue.

Thus far, the Eccles Theater has not disappointed, exceeding expectations and helping to generate residual prosperity for some its nearby roadways, such as Regent Street...

... said Paul Kuhn, executive chef and co-owner of Last Course Dessert Studio, 115 Regent Street.

"It's a great location as far as foot traffic," he said. "We're already seeing great results from folks going to the shows at the Eccles Theater and people coming in at lunch. "We're confident with what we have and we know the area," Kuhn explained.

He and his partner are familiar with the local restaurant and catering market, so they considered this foray to be one of great potential opportunity.

"I liked what (the city) did with (downtown). It was a good look," he said. "They're just trying to make it a nice area. We're very pleased with the look and approach they're taking and what we see in the future."

Kuhn said Regent Street has space to grow and is slated to add more new dining options in the coming months. It could become one of the top family gathering spots in downtown, he said...

...The Regent Street reconstruction project was born of many public meetings discussing what would soon become the spectacular new Eccles Theater, said Danny Walz, chief operating officer of the Redevelopment Agency of Salt Lake City....Noting the project is nearing the completion stage, Walz said the last piece of the revitalization effort is currently in the works. "The commission of a public art installation for Regent Street is the final element of the reconstruction, and is already underway,” he said. The city is currently in the final stages of its artist selection process for the public art piece...

FORBES - Pandemic Recovery

Ranked: The 10 US Cities Best Positioned To Recover From Coronavirus - https://www.forbes.com/sites/laurabegley...ities-coronavirus-recovery/#49895cd7de92


Salt Lake City's Central and Southern CSA Metro Among Most Prepared For Economic Recovery

By Ladd Egan for KSL TV - SALT LAKE CITY — A new ranking from Forbes put the Provo and Salt Lake City metropolitan areas among the best-positioned regions in the country to recover from the pandemic.

The Forbes article said that Moody’s Analytics came up with the list using population density, workforce quality and educational attainment. The authors listed the top 10 and bottom 10 cities alphabetically — not in a ranked order.

Salt Lake City/Provo, Utah

Alphabetical Order: Boise, Idaho

Denver, Colorado

Durham, North Carolina

Madison, Wisconsin

Raleigh, North Carolina

San Jose, California

Tucson, Arizona

Washington, D.C.

Zions Bank senior economist Robert Spendlove said the Wasatch Front areas were in such a good place because of a diversified economy and all the right building blocks that businesses need.

“That’s kind of our secret sauce that we’ve got a really good workforce,” Spendlove said. “We’ve got great employers and we’ve got good conditions for success.”

Spendlove cautioned it is important not to sugarcoat the severity of the pandemic’s economic damage.

“In some sectors, it will be years before they fully recovery,” he said. “If you think about travel and tourism, if you think about entertainment or retail trade or bars and restaurants, it’s going to be a while and it’s going to be difficult.”

Spendlove said he is encouraged by Utah’s response to the pandemic and that the state has the fundamentals in place that are strong enough to weather the storm.

The article said cities that were growing quickly before the pandemic will continue their ascent as they exit the economic shutdown caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

“Denver and Salt Lake City are well-positioned to retake their crown as two of the fastest-rising metro areas in the U.S.,” Moody’s senior regional economist Adam Kamins told Forbes...

Downtown Update - The Zephyr Lofts - Downtown warehouse district continues its transformation

Luke Garrott Reports - Full Article @

The Zephyr Lofts, 360 W. 200 S. in west Downtown, Salt Lake City. Rendering by VCBO Architects, courtesy Clearwater Homes.

Clearwater Homes of Utah and Watt Investment Partners of Santa Monica, CA, will start construction in late summer on a 138-unit market-rate apartment project at 360 West 200 South in the heart of Salt Lake City’s warehouse district.

The project aspires to be “iconic, remarkable, and aesthetically enduring” – “a source of pride for the local community” according to the local developer, Clearwater’s Micah Peters.

Peters has developed Paragon Station on the same block, and also is under construction with the Paperbox project with PEG Development just behind the Zephyr Lofts site...

...The name “is homage to the depot district and the historic Zephyr engine/line that steamed into Salt Lake City on the Union Pacific rails,” Developer Micah Peters told Building Salt Lake.

Infilling surface parking lots between the historic Westgate Lofts on the east and the Dakota Lofts on the West, The Zephyr will rise eight stories to 85 ft. Sitting on D-4 zoning, the developers have entered the design review process in order to exceed the zone’s nominal 75 ft height maximum.

The Zephyr’s 138 units will be a combination of 70 studio, 55 one-bedroom, and 13 two-bedroom apartments.

It’ll be parked at a 1:1 ratio (140 stalls), with the upper floor of the podium parking incorporating 3 car city parking stackers.

Street frontage will consist of gyms, a leasing office, and a small bar/restaurant space. Clearwater’s Peters says he’s in conversations with a local artisan operator that has several food + beverage businesses in the neighborhood. The retail space offers 1800 sf and a 20-seat outdoor patio.

It will provide a public walkway from 200 South to the midblock right-of-way that skirts the Paperbox development.

Downtown Update - Salt Lake City To Reconstruct 200 South

Quote: SALT LAKE CITY — One of Salt Lake City's most consequential east-west corridors is set for a major facelift in the coming years, and officials are asking for public feedback on the project as it gets off the ground.

200 South will be reconstructed between 400 West and 900 East beginning in 2022, officials said in a Facebook presentation Wednesday morning.

Salt Lake City transportation engineer Kyle Cook talked through a slideshow on the project, along with Kimberly Feldbauer and Jodi Pearson of AECOM, a Los Angeles-based engineering firm. They explained the beginning phases of a plan to — as one project fact sheet puts it — "create an iconic corridor where businesses thrive, residents feel comfortable and safe walking, transit users navigate easily, and visitors build lasting memories."

Practically, this means repaving the streets, creating better transportation options and accessibility, and building a multimodal transportation hub on the route, Cook said.

"Because the pavement on 200 South has reached the end of its useful life," he said, "it's in rough shape, and it needs attention."

Cook said the 200 South Corridor Plan is "building on a foundation of work that's already been done" in the Salt Lake City Transit Master Plan. 200 South was the highest-priority corridor of the master plan, he said.

Cook said the project could be financed by the 2018 Funding Our Future bond, sales tax revenue, county funds and "other state and federal resources that we continue to explore."

"We know this corridor is more than just a street," he said. "It serves so many homes, and jobs and destinations. 200 South, in many ways, is the focal point of Salt Lake's cultural and economic engine."

Feldbauer talked through potential options the final design could incorporate — "floating" bus stops that don't require curbside pull-ins, dedicated bus lanes and "creative" crosswalks among them.

The proposed transit hub, she said, would include access to multiple transportation options and give residents a reason to gather there with attractive landscaping and possibly live events.

The presenters gave multiple ways Salt Lake City residents can submit feedback on the 200 South Corridor Plan. A comment line has been established at 855-752-2007 and residents can reach project planners via email at [email protected].

The project website also has space to submit comments or take a survey, which will gather information about how locals utilize the corridor.

Just backtracked all the way to page 300 and wow, SLC is moving along with so many projects! I can't wait to see the new airport once it's all done. As I mentioned before, my best friend lives there so it's cool to see how much this place is growing! My last visit was in Dec 2017 so I'm sure it's totally different now than before.

Salt Lake City & MSA/CSA Rundown


Downtown Adj. - COVID To Allow New Salt Lake City International To Finish As Much As Two Years Ahead Of Schedule

By Lee Davidson for the Salt Lake Tribune - https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2020/05/21/coronavirus-may-help-salt/

Salt Lake City International Airport saw only 13% of its normal number of passengers Wednesday. But the alarming drop has an upside: an unexpected opportunity to save hundreds of millions of dollars and complete its ongoing $4.1 billion replacement project years early. Officials say the dearth of passengers will allow the early demolition of existing old terminals and concourses, which no longer will be needed during later phases of expansion to supply gates for once-expected high demand now erased by the coronavirus pandemic. So, expansion now “will be two years faster and up to $300 million cheaper,” Executive Director Bill Wyatt told the city’s airport advisory board Wednesday as he unveiled the plans. The airport aims to open the first phase of replacement facilities Sept. 15, including a new terminal and concourse. Part of a second parallel concourse is scheduled to open a month later. Airport officials had planned to continue to use many gates in the adjacent existing terminals for a time in a complicated process in which some would be demolished to expand new concourses over where they had stood. Then the airport would tear down and expand a few more gates and repeat that expensive process for years. Wyatt said that was initially needed to maintain the number of gates that airlines said they needed at the heretofore busy airport. But like all airports in America, Salt Lake City’s is no longer busy.

“Today, we’re anticipating 3,400 passengers," Wyatt said. “Ordinarily, it would be 26,000 or 27,000. A month ago, it was only 1,500.”...

...“What we’re proposing to do instead of keeping old Concourse B and old Concourse C open, is to tear down the existing airport facilities after the new SLC phase one is open — tear them all down at once,” he said. “That will deliver the whole project much more quickly and save as much as $300 million.”

Pre Art Installation - The main hall, or 'Canyon,' or 'Crossroads of the West.' (All the airport managers who were present on the tour had a different name for it.).
Eventually the escalators right under the American Flag will take people down to the central tunnel, where they will board a people mover to the North and Far North concourses.

Gordon Huether and his team have been selected to work with the Salt Lake City Department of Airports in meeting the goals of the Terminal Redevelopment Program at Salt Lake City International Airport, which
includes a comprehensive art master plan. The brand new state-of-the-art terminal, currently one of the largest construction projects in the United States, will showcase Huether’s art throughout the new terminal.

The artist’s most magnificent and largest art installation entitled “The Canyon,” and will be integrated on both walls (East and West) of the new central airport terminal. “The Canyon” evokes the Salt Lake City landscape
and spans 362 feet, roughly the length of a football field, using more than 2 acres of composite fabric, and the equivalent of seven miles of aluminum tubing. The entire work will consist of 412 individual tensile
membrane fins!

Gordon Huether will create a number of other art installations throughout the Terminal, as well as curate the Salt Lake City Department of Airport’s fine art collection and assist in future public art opportunities.

The Column Plates and an 65-foot tall escalator well sculpture are currently two other approved large-scale installations to be integrated into the building design. The sculptural Column Plates, located in a gathering
area for both arriving and departing passengers, will be made of composite material and will create a visual distinction for the various activities taking place in the open space. The sculptural forms of the columns
provide interest and induce a sense of wonder while maintaining their functionality and visibility of the view corridor. Benches made of a similar material and inspired by the column plates will be placed throughout
the area.As a focal point of a high-traffic area, the 65-foot tall, suspended escalator-well sculpture makes use of the natural light provided by the curtain wall near the three-story escalator well, creating intriguing
color effects in its vicinity. Colorful, light-sensitive dichroic glass fins are partnered with light refracting glass rods to create ever-changing colors and patterns on adjacent surfaces...
