“Small” Lake City keeps growing up.
Need proof? Check out the ever-rising skyline, where 2021 and 2022 will bring three new skyscrapers to the heart of Utah’s capital:
• The 24-story Liberty Sky apartment tower, climbing 250 feet.
• The 25-story 95 State at City Creek office complex, soaring 393 feet.
• The 26-story Hyatt Regency convention center hotel, climbing 375 feet.
None of these high-rises will displace the city’s top two skyscrapers in terms of height. Those are the 26-floor Wells Fargo Center on Main Street (at 422 feet) and the 28-story LDS Church Office Building (420 feet). (It’s a myth that Salt Lake City ever had a rule against building anything taller than the North Temple behemoth housing offices for the state’s predominant faith.)
OGDEN â Despite the global pandemic continuing to stifle travel across the country, a new hotel is set to open in downtown Ogden this week.
On Tuesday, Hiltonâs Home2 Suites Ogden will open for lodging at 2405 Lincoln Ave. The hotelâs director of sales, Brittany Wetters, said the four-story property includes 155 rooms and a variety of amenities including a game-filled lobby with a pool table, 24-hour fitness centers, indoor saline pool and hot tub, and three outdoor patio areas with a fire pit and grills.
Developed and owned by Layton-based Garn Development and managed by Western States Lodging Management, the hotel was constructed with the help of a nearly $1.8 million tax incentive, courtesy of Ogden City.
