Salt Lake City’s “Downtown Rising”

Posted to Salt Lake City

Downtown Salt Lake is on the rise. The city’s “Downtown Rising” initiative, currently advancing in small leaps and bounds, is fueled by a vision of a more dynamic and diverse central core. Through a series of additions and renovations founded on four basic themes—beauty, prosperity, community, and nature—downtown Salt Lake City has become an even more attractive and rewarding place to live, work, and play. Out of the 20+ renovations, one of the most ground-breaking projects of the “Downtown Rising” initiative is the construction of the City Creek Center, which will be a “green”-inspired, pedestrian friendly development with not only office and retail space, but new housing as well. Upon completion of the City Creek Center, Salt Lake City will be one of the few cities in the nation with a multi-use development at its core.

Other exciting “Downtown Rising” projects include the development of a more cohesive Salt Lake Art & Cultural District, the addition of a permanent Public Market that will work in conjunction with the seasonal Farmer’s Market in Pioneer Park, the streamlining of public transportation through an Intermodal Transportation Hub, and the construction of many new Downtown Salt Lake apartments, lofts, condominiums, and townhomes that will bring many Northern Utahns out of the suburbs and into the city center. With the bright future set in place by the “Downtown Rising” initiative, Downtown Salt Lake City has become the premier location for Northern Utah home buyers. When searching for homes in downtown Salt Lake City, you are not only searching for a place to live—you are searching for a place to live life to its fullest.
