Pantages Utah Theater demolition – In pictures

Luke Garrott on April 19, 2022

We took these photos this afternoon. Tomorrow looks like it will be all over for the physical structure of Pantages Utah Theater.

It will be replaced by a 31-story residential tower by Hines Development, who purchased the property from the city’s Redevelopment Agency.

Today, the crew worked on the historic Kearns Building parking garage, the steel-and-brick building to the north of the theater.
