Developers are pitching a new slate of family-sized townhomes in Poplar Grove that would turn a retail warehouse into six for-sale townhomes.
The project, located at 831 W. 100 South, is referred to as the Trophies Townhomes in filings with the city. The name is seemingly derived from the existing building’s former tenant, which was a trophy business that has since closed. The existing building would be demolished as part of the project.
In total, the development would be on a .17 acre plot, and it’s zoned as Urban Neighborhood Transit Station (TSA-UN-T), which has a maximum height of 50 feet. Under the city’s new mixed-use zoning code it passed earlier this month, the site would be zoned as MU-5, which would allow buildings up to 55 feet.
Plans submitted to the city call for a row of six townhomes that would each have four floors, and the building heights would be just under 42 feet tall. Each unit would have a one-car garage on the ground floor, and all units would share a private drive entering the development from 100 South.
Each unit would have a similar layout, though the northernmost unit would have extra balcony space on the north side of the building and a larger garage. Garages would also have a dedicated circuit that would allow for charging an electric car.
Units would each have three bedrooms, two-and-a-half bathrooms and balconies on all three upper floors, according to plans submitted to the city.
Austin Taylor, the property’s owner, told Building Salt Lake the townhomes will be for sale, and the target price point would be in the mid-$500,000 range. Taylor said the square footage for each unit is around 1,600 square feet.
“We want to build family-size, for sale housing,” he said. “We see the value in the neighborhood just with the TRAX, the bus, the grocery store, the proximity to downtown, two FrontRunner stops, large employment centers, with the airport and downtown. And so, we want to provide places where people can make their long term home and have kids.”
The project is located roughly a half-mile away from the Jackson/Euclid Station stop on the TRAX Green Line. It’s even closer to the Folsom Trail, which is located half a block north of the development. The townhomes would also be around a half mile from the Rancho Market grocery store along 900 West.
Taylor said that each unit has flex space on the ground floor that can be used for either a larger garage or as a live/work space. He added, “so if someone wanted to buy it and do a little home business, they could absolutely do that.”
Trophies is the latest in a long line of developments being pitched in this area of Poplar Grove, as it joins a number of developments and nearby projects near the North Temple corridor.
