Can’t stop won’t stop – Downtown’s renaissance continues, even as recession fears abound. It was last March when we gave you the most recent photo essay of construction sites Downtown. Here’s what progress looks like in January, 2023:
The highrises
Astra
At 200 South and State, the Astra apartment tower, which will be Utah’s tallest, has risen to ~15 stories of its total 39, which will provide 390 apartment homes.

The Worthington
On the NE corner of Broadway (300 South) and 200 East, The Worthington’s 31 stories and 359 living spaces are taking shape at the lower floors. Construction crews seem to be ~5 stories out of the ground.

255 State
The city’s Redevelopment Agency and partners Brinshore Development are completing a two-building project with a public paseo offering 190 apartments of which 152 will be affordable, ranging from 20%-80% of AMI.

West Downtown
We’ve been covering the environs around the Salt Palace Convention Center, with the West Quarter and the Hyatt Regency convention center hotel being the big splash projects.
But the less-noticeable filling-in of missing teeth between the Salt Palace and the Gateway Mall is also notable. Here are our photos:
West Broadway
Edison House social club is open.
Just to the south, also fronting 200 West, is PEG Development’s Revival, offering 142 apartment homes for rent.

East Downtown/East Central
Heading uphill toward the University of Utah, several notable projects have grabbed our attention. At the former massage school site, Lotus Republic is nearing completion. Owners received approval last week for a bar called Citizens on the ground floor at 33 S. 300 East.
On 500 East and South Temple, the historic (built in 1949) office-to-residential conversion begun by Ivory Homes but being completed by Richie Group is nearing the halfway point in their construction timeline. An early-1950s theme is going to permeate the 121 apartments in a two-building project.
