What started as a pit and an eyesore on State Street, now marks an amazing affordable housing project. The two towers include a total of 190 units and 20,000 square feet of commercial space. This has a unique space called the Paseo, a walkway allowing individuals to walk right down the middle of this property.

The project also included the restoration of the Cramer house (133 years old), which will be used as commercial space and add to the atmosphere of this property.

Amenities for residents include common areas on multiple floors, an underground parking garage, a gym, bicycle sharing with on-site storage, wellness rooms, and event venues.

Construction of this project was not a simple task, with a job site that was wall to wall and being right off busy State Street in Salt Lake City, superintendents; Isaac Mittlestaedt and Shawn Conroy had to work their magic.

The project is property line to property line, explained Wadman’s north tower Superintendent Isaac Mittlestaedt, making on-site laydown areas nearly nonexistent. On-time deliveries and work from the project’s various scopes required the highest level of scheduling and coordination.

“Working downtown is definitely a whole different animal than working just about anywhere else,” said Shawn Conroy, Wadman’s Superintendent for the south tower. “We had to think outside the box almost daily in order to complete this project.”

This was a great project and we are glad we got to work with the Brindshore Development team and KTGY as the architect.
