A cluster of new high-rises that have been going up next to the Salt Palace Convention Center in downtown Salt Lake City is about to get bigger and a little friendlier to pedestrians.
Development will add 321 new apartments and finish a new midblock walkway that’s meant to tie The Gateway and Vivint Arena with the downtown area for pedestrians.
Half the floors of The Charles, which features an interior plaza and lavish rooftop amenities, are now open to leasing, with the other half expected to open before year’s end. Both The Charles and the hotel are to feature restaurants on the ground floor.and ways to bolster the vestiges left along an adjacent stretch of 100 South of what was once a vibrant ethnic neighborhood spanning several blocks in each direction.
The tower is also designed with an interior parking deck with 342 stalls and amenities such as a clubhouse, exercise facilities, covered outdoor terraces and a pool and courtyard on its ninth floor. This second phase involves completing a partially built midblock street by extending it from 200 South through the block’s southwest corner to 300 West, also known as John Stockton Drive, essentially creating a shortcut for those walking to and from The Gateway and Vivint Arena and the downtown core using 200 South.
“The West Quarter fits as we try to stitch our city back together,” Ritchie said, referring to the way the Salt Palace’s footprint has bifurcated the downtown area “for 65-plus years.”
