Downtown Salt Lake City’s major revitalization development project, City Creek Center, to be completed in March of 2012. It's sustainable design features a fully retractable roof and a walkable urban mix of offices, residences and shops that will make SLC one of few cities in the nation with such a sophisticated level of mixed-use development at its core. The project will be completed in March 2012. Check out the virtual tour video! Contact me for more.

Key architectural and design features:

* Full Retractable Glass Roof

* Recreation of Historic City Creek, the iconic waterway that once coursed through the city.
*Water Features by WET Design

* Pedestrian Skybridge, transparent but iconic, the glass walls of the bridge are etched with an artful, 3D-look leaf pattern that casts dappled shadows and evokes the natural setting.

*Major Utah funding makes it a totally debt-free development – even in this economy.
