Salt Lake City is buzzing with a wave of construction projects that are set to redefine its skyline and urban landscape.
From Downtown to the Granary District, various developments are in full swing, showcasing the growth and revitalization of the area.
One of the most notable highlights is the Astra Tower, located at 89 East 200 South, which recently marked its official opening. This building stands as Salt Lake City’s tallest structure, adorned by a striking mural on the west face of its parking structure.
In addition to Astra Tower, the Seraph, formerly known as the South Temple Tower at 136 E South Temple, is nearing completion. The crane has come down, signaling that the exterior updates are nearly finished. This ambitious 24-story project will convert the University Club Building into 255 residential apartments.
Meanwhile, the Utah Woolen Mills Building at 57 West South Temple is undergoing demolition, although the process appears to be inside-out. Owned by Property Reserve, the real estate division of the LDS Church, the future plans for the site after demolition remain undisclosed.
Just down the street, the Maye House is undertaking an adaptive reuse of the former Medical Dental Building at 508 E South Temple. Originally proposed as a nine-story, 139-unit tower, modifications to the project have reduced it to five stories with 73 units, including an adjacent structure that will offer an additional 39 units. The final unit breakdown comprises one penthouse suite, 12 studio apartments, 68 one-bedroom units, 24 two-bedroom apartments, and seven three-bedroom units.
Another significant development on South Temple is the IBM Building at 362 E South Temple, which is being transformed from an office space into a residential complex that will feature 182 apartments.
Further west, the Silo Park at 429 West 500 South is taking shape as a multi-phase mixed-use development. This project, executed by Lowe Property Group, BCG Holdings, and Catalyst Opportunity Funds, aims to create a vibrant urban environment similar to that of the nearby Post District.
The Luma apartments, situated at 205 South 200 West, have officially opened their doors. Developed by dbURBAN Communities and Hamilton Partners, this 210-unit building stands on the former site of the Road Home homeless shelter and was designed by Dwell Design Studio.
In the heart of the city, the Aperture Residences at 210 West Broadway, designed by Axis Architects, are progressing well. The structure stands at 88 feet tall, offering 46 residential units along with 33 parking stalls. Residents will enjoy access to the 300 South bikeway, enhancing safety for cyclists with a parked car barrier.
The renovations of the Pickle building at 741 South 400 West have recently begun, although demolition was necessary due to the building’s structural concerns. This project is expected to contribute 141 apartments to the future TRAX corridor along 400 West.
The Journeyman Apartments at 634 South 400 West are quickly rising as a seven-story building developed by Lake Union Partners. This project includes 184 residential units, 138 parking spaces, and 4,192 square feet of retail space on the ground floor, designed by MVE + Partners.
Finally, the Hendrey at 326 West 700 South is a six-story apartment building being constructed just west of the Granary main campus. This market-rate development by Roers Companies features 348 units and was designed by JZW Architects.
As these construction projects develop, they promise not only to reshape the landscape of Salt Lake City but also to enhance the living experience for residents in the area.
