Sugar Alley – 2188 Highland Drive

You may experience déjà vu as this Lowe Property Group project is nearing the point reached before a fire burned it down to the podium in an October 2022 fire. The builders of Sugar Alley have stated that the reconstruction will be completed by March 2025. Upon completion, the building will bring 186 rental units and 16,000 square feet of ground floor retail space to the heart of the Sugar House Business District.

Alta Terra Sugar House – 1132 East Ashton Ave

First approved in 2021, this two-building project by Alta Terra has faced delays due to legal troubles with the previous general contractor, Makers Line. Located just east of Fairmont Park, the north building will top out at 105 feet and bring 228 apartment homes and ground floor retail space. The south building, just west of the State Liquor Store, will top out at 89 feet and bring 118 apartments to the neighborhood.

S-Line Extension & RDA Project

Salt Lake City’s Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Board approved $500,000 for FY 23-24 for the demolition of the buildings highlighted in yellow in anticipation of the S-Line extension to Highland Drive and a future RDA development on the property. Demolition is expected later this summer, and utility work has begun to move overhead power lines to accommodate the future development.

The S-Line extension and double tracking project, funded with $12 million allocated by the Utah Legislature in 2021, is expected to begin construction later this year, and is slated for completion in spring 2026.
