Developers and the city have hammered out updated plans for The Collaborative pair of apartments at 1135 S West Temple and 1150 S Richards Street that sit strategically in the capitol city’s increasingly attractive Ballpark neighborhood. It is just two blocks from the “heart of the neighborhood” identified in the city’s recent plan for the area around the TRAX station at 1300 South and 200 West.
The “sister projects” called Collaborative will bring 185 apartments on two parcels that cover 1.67 acre (111 units/acre). The Planning Commission last week approved the plans for Richards Street, while also accepting changes made to the West Temple building, which was originally approved in August 2022.
The projects both requested height increases to 45 feet, the maximum allowed in the CC Commercial Corridor zone with design review.
Collaborative 1135 S West Temple
Among the changes for the approved West Temple project are altering the unit mix from all-studios to 30 studios, 18 one-bedroom, and 20 two-bedroom apartment homes.
The original approval was for a building with 88 units, all studios, with 45 surface parking spaces provided behind the building. The alteration approved by the Planning Commission on May 24th now has 68 units and 55 parking stalls, all contained on the ground floor and within the footprint of the building fronting West Temple.

Collaborative 1150 S Richards
At 1150 S Richards Street, just across the north-south running public alley, Defy Design presented a 117-unit project that, like the West Temple Collaborative, will have a mix of studios (64), one-bedroom (16), and two-bedroom (37) homes.

Its parking level, also contained in the building’s footprint, will provide 89 spaces—a .76:1 parking ratio.
Ground level will also provide 10 apartments fronting Richards Street.
