The $150M, 9-acre Park Avenue project will bring a range of new uses to the area, including a 170,000 sq.-ft. University of Utah Health Sugar House Health Center; a 150,000 sq.-ft. multi-tenant Class-A office building; a six-story, 150-unit multi-family residential building; and street-level retail.
House Health Center, is expected to be completed in summer 2019. “A new parking podium is being constructed,” said Tracy Robertson, account coordinator of Wilkinson Ferari & Co. of Salt Lake City. “It will have 1,200 stalls primarily below grade.” Park Avenue is one of Salt Lake City’s largest economic development projects outside of the downtown area.
Site Preparation Some site preparation was needed prior to the start of construction, including demolition of a vacant Shopko store; excavation for the underground parking (three levels); and installation of shoring on the east and north sides. Crews removed 150,000 cu. yds. of dirt from the site and delivered it to various other construction sites around the valley.
Contractors Prime contractor for the project is Big-D Construction of Salt Lake City. Major subcontractors include, Cazler Excavating Inc. of Draper, Utah; Tech-Steel Inc. of Clearfield, Utah; Western States Mechanical of Springville, Utah; and Taylor Electric of Salt Lake City. A total of about 150 contractors are on the job, daily.
Progress Construction on the University of Utah Health Sugar House Health Center and parking podium are under way. Three levels of the underground parking podium are 75 percent complete. Construction activity includes excavation, shoring, steel erection and concrete work. see COMMUNITY page 6
