More residential development is coming to downtown Salt Lake. Framing is well underway on two apartment projects that combined will add over 320 units to the downtown residential market.
Cowboy Partners is the developer of the Liberty Crest Apartments on the 100 South block of 200 East. A portion of the project is already framed up to the fifth floor. The sevens-story development will include 177 market-rate units.
Across from Pioneer Park, on the 300 South block of 400 West, is the under-construction 360 Apartments. The front side of the project is framed up to the third floor. Garbett Homes is the developer of the six-story project that will include 151 residential units, like Liberty Crest, all the units will be market rate. Pictures of 360 Apartments begin on page three.

They really need to get rid of those ugly dive bars next, or at least house them at the bottom floor of a nice tower.
Nah. Johnny’s may be a dive, but beer bar and bar x are rather pricey and hipstery. That area is the closest thing SLC has to a bar district. What would help the area more is a multi story, mixed use developments where the surface parking lots are currently on the south west corner of 2nd and 2nd, as well as the one on third and edison.
I wish downtown Salt Lake had some walkable nightlife districts at Edison, Regent, and Pierpont Streets. You should see what they have with the Gaslamp in San Diego, 6th Street in Austin, and Ybor City in Tampa.
Personally, I would like to see them tear down the ugly brown brick building on the corner of 300 S. & State, and get rid of the Circle Lounge, Wasted Space, and the Pie, etc and build a nice new tower in its place.
