Brinshore Center - 255 South State

Brinshore Development of Chicago will have two attractive projects coming up for Salt Lake City in 2020 & 2021. The first to commence will be Downtown's 255 S. State and the second along the North Temple light-rail line on the
western perimeter of downtown.

Copy By Luke Garrott @ BuildingSaltLake.com Senior representatives from Chicago-based Brinshore Development, one of the largest affordable housing developers in the country, according to Principal
David Brint, has briefed the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Board these past months...Brinshore’s mixed affordable and market-rate project aims to align with the goals of a 2018 RFQ from the RDA. Among those goals are
providing a significant number of “deeply affordable” units, promoting an active streetscape, establishing a public mid-block walkway, and preserving and activating the historic Cramer House on Floral Street...Instead of proposing a single
building of large scale, Brinshore’s architect, KTGY, has designed two structures. The south building will be eight floors containing 73 units and the north structure will rise to 13 stories with 117 units. 152 of the 190 total units will be
affordable, ranging from 20%-80% of AMI, with 38 units at market rate. The mix will be 122 one-bedroom, 52 two-bedroom, 13 three- and four-bedroom, with three at-grade artist live-work spaces.

On street level, the project will offer 23,000 sq. ft. of commercial space (down from 40,000 in previous plans), some of which will be dedicated to community and education purposes. The developer plans to build one level of below-grade
parking, offering 100 stalls. Eighteen surface parking spaces will be reserved for retail clients...Between the buildings will be a public “paseo.” It will run from Floral Street (an alley at about 125 East that’s accessible only from 200 South)
to State Street and align with Gallivan Avenue on the west side of State.

Pedestrians will be able to pass all the way from Edison Street (145 East) to State thanks to an existing east-west alley and the paseo.

Luke Garrott, BuildingSaltLake.com: ...Construction began last week on 255 South State.

City officials and developers will be delivering on a mixed-use, 80% affordable, two-tower project that incorporates significant public plazas and a midblock “paseo” between State Street and Edison (145 E). It will restore and repurpose a
historic house into a restaurant as part of the development’s 25,000 sf of retail space. The taller of the two towers (eight and 12 stories) will use an innovative construction technique, combining light structural steel with 10 levels of
load-bearing factory-panelized walls called the “Infinity System.”

The project’s 190 units will range from studios to 4-bdrms. 168 of those are federal tax credit units, serving people who make between 20-80% of AMI.

Construction is expected to take 24 months, aiming at a Spring 2023 opening. Here are some current photos of the site:

Here's an image that they produced a couple months ago when they reduced the height of the taller tower and reconfigured some of the floor usage. They also simplified the exterior paneling to cut costs. The number of units was unchanged and the Cramer House was designated as a restaurant space instead of a residential unit (which is great if you ask me). This new design was presented to and approved by the planning commission.
