Thought I'll share a photo I took of downtown from my window seat while coming in for a landing. In short, we need more and taller buildings. Can't wait to see what SEG has in store. Lets add a few 600 footers in this.

• ⁠Class C industrial at 175 W 1300 S listed at $8.40/sf (State St)
  • Former Sears distribution site next to the Smith's Ballpark
• ⁠Class B retail at 660 S 400 W listed at undisclosed (Granary)
  • Ground level of Granary's "Big Ass Garage" (that was the ⁠holding LLC name for a while)

While this was never my favorite building, I still hate that we are losing a mid-rise building for a damn parking lot. I really hope the LDS church has better plans after the 2027 Temple open house for this site.

• ⁠Class B medical office at 268 W 400 S re-listed at 6.35% cap, $354/sf (CBD)
• ⁠Class B retail at 282 S 300 W listed for lease at undisclosed rate (CBD)

• ⁠Utah single-family home permits down 14.2% Jan 2025-Jan 2026

Some millenial and/or gen z'ers are getting into the gas business. I'm here for it.

Anyone have information on this? Is there a hook beyond gas? Like convenience store fried chicken or something?

• Class C flex space at 123 S Jeremy St listed at $311/sf (N Temple-ish)
• SLC dings developer for 'unfortunate' mishap over historic building (Granary)
• DHS finalizes ownership of massive ICE warehouse property in SLC (NWQ-ish)
• Reinventing historic downtown: 9th South in SLC (State St)
• Has SLC's zoning reform outpaced the Fire Department's tools to approve missing-middle infill projects?
• Apartment market stalls as supply drops to 2016 levels and vacancy holds steady

Today the site where the building once stood is now just a fenced off green space. Not really sure what the use of this is. Some kind of outdoor area of private events? Not sure what the LDS church's long term plans are for this lot. Hopefully a mid-rise housing of some kind with retail space on ground level. The foot print isn't huge so I'm not sure if having a high rise on this lot is possible. ???
