We take a look at ongoing projects in the Granary District along 700 South as well as the 13 acre accumulation to the north – the Post District – which is slowly taking shape on 500 South.

Despite serious urban dysfunctions – due to billboard rights, highways and outdated zoning – the dynamism of the area is undeniably impressive.

Here is our update – in pictures.

The corner of 400 W and 700 S. The Lake Union Partners Evo campus shines in new splendor and some tenants. The renovation of the former Rico grocery store on 700 S has been completed.

At 500 W, the industry is actually active – a large food + beverage company, office tenants who are attracting food trucks, and of course construction workers. These shots range between 700 S and 600 S, which is an exit for I-15. Photos by Luke Garrott.

The Box 500 container studio building is nearing rental while Pamela’s Place permanent supportive accommodation is open. The massive white granary 500 S will be replaced by the construction project Silos for affordable living. Photos by Luke Garrott.

Giv Communities’ affordable housing project Silos at 425 W 500 S has completed its financing package – and the developer tells Building Salt Lake that the block in the south is likely to see significantly more action through a partnership between Giv and the Lowe Development Group.
