Proposed office tower would be part of downtown Salt Lake performing arts center project

An Illinois-based developer is proposing to build a 20- to 25-story office tower to complement the city's plans for a Broadway-style theater on Main Street in Salt Lake City. Hamilton Partners is working with Swisher Garfield Traub to include a 425,000- to 450,000-square-foot office tower as part of the downtown performing arts center project.

The proposed office tower, which would include shops or a restaurant on the ground level, would be built on the southeast corner of 100 South and Main Street in the site currently occupied by Bennion Jewelers.

Bingham and representatives of Swisher Garfield Traub met Tuesday with the City Council, acting as the Salt Lake City Redevelopment Agency Board of Directors, to provide information and answer questions about the proposed tandem project. Deseret News
