owntown Salt Lake City is 160 years old…older than most cities in the West… if not half as aged as Boston. But it is old and established enough that you wouldn’t expect anyone to be able to start over with a blank canvas.

Yet with the City Creek Center, the propertyowner… Property Reserve, Inc… and the developers… Taubman Centers and CowboyProperties… have a 20-acre, three-block canvas to re-imagine the city’s very core.The result is a $1 billion reinvention of the Salt Lake City’s retail and office and residential space in what is likely the largest central city redevelopment currently underway in the nation. When the project is completed in 2011, the mountain-fed City Creek will be raised from its underground recesses to stitch together six acres of lushly-landscaped gardens and greenspace and fountains with outdoor shopping malls, office buildings,
condos and apartments and the rest of downtown Salt Lake City. Demolition is already well underway and every effort is being made to minimize the inconvenience to open shops, residents, office workers, and other downtown denizens. Key to maximizing the open space is to place all parking underground. When completed visitors and residents will have their choice of some 5,600 parking spaces. And the entrances and exits for vehicles and pedestrians are being designed to minimize troublesome cross-traffic. With an eye on environmental sustainability, City Creek Center is being designed, constructed and operated in accor
dance with LEED principles, although no determination has been made about whether or not to apply for certification.

City Creek Center will be anchored by three national chains…Nordstrom, Macys and Dillards. The pedestrian walkways linking the anchors will house another 400,000 square feet of additional retail space, including more than 100 stores, restaurants and a food court. Harmons Grocery Stores will build and own the first full-service grocery store in Salt Lake’s central city in at least 50 years.Office dwellers at the Key Bank Building are preparing for a game of ‘musical offices.’ The existing Key Bank Building will come down to make way for City Creek’s retail stores. One of the more charming aspects of the development will be the return of several thorough fares from Salt Lake City’s by gone pioneer era. Regent Street, Richards Street and Social Hall Avenue… largely swallowed by the City’s massive blocks… will get a second life as mid-block pedestrian walkways between City Creek Center’s retail, residential and office spaces. One other accommodation of pedestrians will be a one-way road from 100 South to State Street that will permit passenger drop-offs and pick-ups well away from the main roads. City Creek is a true mixed-use development that will include at least 400 residential units in the first phase and another 100 condominium units. More may be built depending on demand. Residential units will be split between for sale and for rent.
