Downtown Update - Red Lion Hotel to be converted in hundred's of Micro Units.
[B]A Denver-based team has paired up with a local developer to redevelop the Red Lion Hotel towers and surrounding site near Salt Lake City’s Downtown, the team announced this week.
The development would come in two phases, with a conversion to nearly 200 micro apartments late next year and promises of a mixed-use development soon after.
The parcels between 600 South and 700 South, West Temple and 200 West, amount to five acres of land. The project would be the latest to add hundreds of small apartments into the capital city as it continues an ongoing cycle of adding thousands more housing units in the coming years.
“We are thrilled with the opportunity to transform this unique place into an energetic mixed-use community in Salt Lake City’s historic Granary District,” said Kirsty Greer, Senior Vice President of Multifamily and Urban Mixed-Use Development at McWhinney, the Denver developer. “We look forward to connecting and collaborating with neighbors, local residents and businesses as we become part of this spirited community.”
While the release said the future projects are in the Granary District, it can more accurately claim a home Downtown. The Granary boundary ends two blocks west...
