Developed by ICO, the multifamily arm of Utah-based Ivory Homes, the adaptive-reuse of the 1950s Medical Dental Building is underway at the southeast corner of 500 E and South Temple. This development was originally pitched as a nine-story, 139 unit tower, but height concerns scaled-down the project to five stories and 73 units. The adjacent former medical building will have 39 units. The unit mix will be one penthouse suite, 12 studio, 68 one-bedroom, 24 two-bedroom and seven three-bedroom apartments.
