86-413: City Creek Center (CCC), commonly shortened to City Creek , is a mixed-use development containing an upscale open-air shopping mall , grocery store, and office and residential buildings near Temple Square in downtown Salt Lake City , Utah , United States. Opened on March 22, 2012, the development encompasses over 23 acres (9.3 ha) across portions of three city blocks. The center's mall includes

172-507: A streetcar . The streetcar seemed to be the preferred alternative. On October 20, 2010, the S Line (known then as Sugar House Streetcar) received a $ 26 million federal grant that allowed the street car to be completed in less than two years. It used an existing rail line running along 2200 South from the Central Pointe TRAX Station to approximately 1100 East, near the primary Sugar House shopping district. The first phase of

258-481: A 15-minute headway on each line during the entirety of operating hours. It operates weekends from approximately 5:00 am to nearly midnight, with a 15-minute headway on Saturdays and a 30-minute headway on Sundays. 117 active railcars 29 UTDC LRVs (1041–1069) were purchased second-hand from the Santa Clara VTA in 2004 and refurbished for service on TRAX. These were withdrawn from service in 2018. To handle

344-466: A TRAX line to Davis County . However, both projects are currently being pursued as BRT lines, with the potential for conversion to light rail in the future if needed. UTA does not sell naming rights for its stations, nor does it allow stations to be named after commercial businesses. Commercial advertising on TRAX platforms is prohibited, in order for the passengers to be able to notice the safety information. One exception to this rule occurred during

430-530: A catalyst for economic growth, may not serve their intended purpose if they simply shift economic activity, rather than create it. A study done by Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated (JLL) found that "90 percent of Hudson Yards' new office tenants relocated from Midtown." Some of the more frequent mixed-use scenarios in the United States are: The first large-scale attempt to create mixed-use development in Australia

516-713: A city can be impacted by mixed-use development. With the EPA putting models in the spreadsheet, it makes it much easier for municipalities, and developers to estimate the traffic, with Mixed-use spaces. The linking models also used as a resource tool measures the geography, demographics, and land use characteristics in a city. The Environmental Protection Agency has conducted an analysis on six major metropolitan areas using land usage, household surveys, and GIS databases. States such as California, Washington, New Mexico, and Virginia have adopted this standard as statewide policy when assessing how urban developments can impact traffic. Preconditions for

602-539: A color-code line names in place of their old destination-based line names. After the first year of operation, ridership on these portions of the Green and Red lines was less than was projected by UTA. However, UTA has stated the projected ridership was for the year 2015. Since these lines were opened for service years earlier than originally planned, the anticipated growth on the west side of Salt Lake Valley has just not happened, yet. UTA affirms that by 2015 ridership will meet

688-579: A combination of public and private interests, do not show a decrease in carbon emissions in comparison to metropolitan areas that have a low, dense configuration. This is possibly because hybrid metropolises are prone to attract car traffic from visitors. Due to the speculative nature of large scale real estate developments, mega-mixed-use projects often fall short on meeting equity and affordability goals. High-end residential, upscale retail, and Class A office spaces appealing to high-profile tenants are often prioritized due to their speculative potential. There

774-483: A foliage-lined walkway with a simulated stream, meant to recreate City Creek , an important water source for the early settlers of Salt Lake City. CCC is an undertaking by City Creek Reserve, Inc. (CCRI) and Property Reserve, Inc. (PRI), both commercial real estate entities of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and Taubman Centers, Inc. (TCI). PRI invested in the housing and parking elements of

860-477: A new open-air mall, called The Gateway , had opened in the downtown area. Located only four blocks west of Crossroads Plaza and ZCMI Center, The Gateway drew business away from Main Street and its malls. In October 2003, soon after completing the purchase of Crossroads Plaza, the church presented preliminary plans to significantly remodel that mall and the neighboring ZCMI Center. Three years later, on October 3, 2006,

946-751: A report of environmentally responsible actions taken by communities of faith in each state. It cited the LDS Church's development of CCC as one of the 60 pilot projects selected to finalize the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design – Neighborhood Development (LEED-ND) certification process. Mixed-use development Traditionally, human settlements have developed in mixed-use patterns. However, with industrialization , governmental zoning regulations were introduced to separate different functions, such as manufacturing, from residential areas. Public health concerns and

1032-417: A role in 1986 with a zoning bylaw that allowed for commercial and residential units to be mixed. At the time, Toronto was in the beginning stages of planning a focus on developing mixed-use development due to the growing popularity of more social housing. The law has since been updated as recently as 2013, shifting much of its focus outside the downtown area which has been a part of the main city since 1998. With

1118-505: A significant focus on affordable housing provisions in these plans. Mixed-use buildings can be risky given that there are multiple tenants residing in one development. Mega-mixed-use projects, like Hudson Yards , are also extremely expensive. This development has cost the City of New York over 2.2 billion dollars. Critics argue that taxpayer dollars could better serve the general public if spent elsewhere. Additionally, mixed-use developments, as

1204-606: A significant intersection in Toronto, portions of the Mirvish Village project site are zoned as "commercial residential" and others as "mixed commercial residential". Within the City of Toronto's zoning by-laws, commercial residential includes "a range of commercial, residential and institutional uses, as well as parks." Mirvish Village's programmatic uses include rental apartments, a public market, and small-unit retail, while also preserving 23 of 27 heritage houses on site. The project

1290-564: A strong ability to adapt to changing social and economic environments. When the COVID-19 pandemic hit, New York retailers located on long, commercially oriented blocks suffered severely as they were no longer attracting an audience of passersby. By combining multiple functions into one building or development, mixed-use districts can build resiliency through their ability to attract and maintain visitors. More sustainable transportation practices are also fostered. A study of Guangzhou, China , done by

1376-699: Is a light rail system in the Salt Lake Valley of Utah , in the United States , serving Salt Lake City and many of its suburbs throughout Salt Lake County . The system's official name, Transit Express , is rarely, if ever, used. The system is operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). All TRAX trains are electric, receiving power from overhead wires. TRAX has 51 stations on three lines. The Blue Line provides service from Downtown Salt Lake City to Draper . The Red Line provides service from

1462-601: Is also a trend towards making residential spaces in mixed-use developments to be condominiums, rather than rental spaces. A study done by the Journal of the American Planning Association found that a focus on homeownership predominantly excludes individuals working in public services, trades, cultural, sales and service, and manufacturing occupations from living in amenity-rich city centers. Despite incentives like density bonuses, municipalities and developers rarely put

1548-457: Is also absent in Germany and Russia where zoning codes make no distinction between different types of housing. America's attachment to private property and the traditional 1950s suburban home, as well as deep racial and class divides, have marked the divergence in mixed-use zoning between the continents. As a result, much of Europe's central cities are mixed use "by default" and the term "mixed-use"

1634-535: Is also found in these districts. This development pattern is centered around the idea of "live, work, play," transforming buildings and neighborhoods into multi-use entities. Efficiency, productivity, and quality of life are also increased with regards to workplaces holding a plethora of amenities. Examples include gyms, restaurants, bars, and shopping. Mixed-use neighborhoods promote community and socialization through their bringing together of employees, visitors, and residents. A distinctive character and sense-of-place

1720-399: Is created by transforming single use districts that may run for eight hours a day (ex. commercial office buildings running 9am - 5pm) into communities that can run eighteen hours a day through the addition of cafes, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Safety of neighborhoods in turn may be increased as people stay out on the streets for longer hours. Mixed-use neighborhoods and buildings have

1806-422: Is incentivized in these regions. By taking undervalued and underutilized land, often former heavy industrial, developers can repurpose it to increase land and property values.  These projects also increase housing variety, density, and oftentimes affordability through their focus on multifamily, rather than single-family housing compounds. A more equal balance between the supply and demand of jobs and housing

"The Link at City Creek" is a tunnel (predating CCC) which runs beneath State Street at the site of Salt Lake City's former Social Hall, linking the eastern-most (3rd) block with the rest of the development. The development is served by the City Center Station of Utah Transit Authority 's TRAX light rail system. CCC has 5,000+ parking spaces that are located in large garages under

1978-712: Is much more relevant regarding new areas of the city where an effort is made to mix residential and commercial activities – such as in Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands . Expanded use of mixed-use zoning and mixed-use developments may be found in a variety of contexts, such as the following (multiple such contexts might apply to one particular project or situation): Any of the above contexts may also include parallel contexts such as: Mixed-use developments are home to significant employment and housing opportunities. Many of these projects are already located in established downtown districts, meaning that development of public transit systems

2064-564: Is notable for its public consultation process, which was lauded by Toronto city officials. Architect Henriquez and the developer had previously collaborated on mixed-use projects in Vancouver , British Columbia , including the successful Woodward's Redevelopment . In the United States, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) collaborates with local governments by providing researchers developing new data that estimates how

2150-538: Is the US's largest project to ever be financed by TIF ( tax increment financing ) subsidies. It did not require voter approval, nor did it have to go through the city's traditional budgeting process. Rather, the project is financed by future property taxes and the EB-5 Visa Program. This program provides VISAs to overseas investors in exchange for placing a minimum of $ 500,000 into US real estate. UTA TRAX TRAX

2236-768: Is the company's largest light rail contract in the United States to date. In 2008, construction began on two new extensions: one extension of 5.1 miles (8.2 km) through West Valley City (now part of the Green Line ) and another extension of 10.6 miles (17.1 km) through the southwest portion of the Salt Lake Valley (now part of the Red Line ). Both extensions were debuted in ceremonial openings on August 2, 2011, and permanently opened for regular service on August 7. Both extensions were completed ahead of schedule and under budget. Upon completion of these expansions UTA adopted

2322-425: The 2002 Winter Olympics . Other elements of the landscape design support the overall concept of urban living, with pocket parks, roof gardens, and landscape connections throughout the project. The multi-level walkways and plazas feature 6 acres (2.4 ha) of green space. Several of the walkways were added where streets had once been, before they were obliterated by development as Salt Lake City grew. Most prominent

2408-447: The 2002 Winter Olympics . For the duration of the games, the Arena and Temple Square stations were closed for security reasons, and during this time UTA allowed Coca-Cola to use the area of the unused Arena Station as part of its pin-trading center. The advertising restriction does not apply to the sides of the TRAX train cars or to UTA's buses. Not only does UTA have advertising signs on

2494-575: The 2034 Winter Olympics . In conjunction with the Mountain View Corridor project, plans were made by UTA to build a new TRAX line on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley along 5600 West (in the same general area as the Mountain View Corridor). The western line is anticipated to replace the yet-to-be-built 5600 West BRT bus rapid transit (BRT) line, which is currently stalled. In 2015, UTA announced plans to eventually expand

2580-551: The Federal Transit Administration on September 24, 2007, secured the remaining $ 500 million in funding for the light rail lines. These funds were used to finance the FrontLines 2015 expansion project, which added four TRAX extensions by 2015 (as well as an expansion to FrontRunner commuter rail ). In order to support planned TRAX expansion, UTA ordered 77 Siemens S70 light rail vehicles from Siemens AG . It

Two office towers have been built since CCC's opening, these are: 111 Main at City Creek and 95 State at City Creek. Several existing office buildings were incorporated into the development, these are: There are approximately 700 housing units, consisting of condos and apartments, in CCC. The condos are located in one of four towers and

In 2023, the system had a ridership of 11,043,800, or about 43,800 per weekday as of the third quarter of 2024. TRAX operates seven days a week, with the exception of some holidays. It operates Monday through Friday from approximately 4:30 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. with

2838-472: The 1960s. Since the 1990s, mixed-use zoning has once again become desirable as it works to combat urban sprawl and increase economic vitality. In most of Europe, government policy has encouraged the continuation of the city center's role as a main location for business, retail, restaurant, and entertainment activity, unlike in the United States where zoning actively discouraged such mixed use for many decades. In England, for example, hotels are included under

2924-472: The City Creek Landing apartments are located on levels above the west block retail shops. The condo towers are: The Salt Lake Marriott Downtown at City Creek is the only hotel located on the CCC blocks. The hotel predates the development, having been opened on October 15, 1981 by Marriott International . Originally connected to Crossroads Plaza mall, the hotel underwent a renovation and renaming when

3010-580: The FrontRunner South extension, FrontRunner service at the new North Temple Bridge/Guadalupe station also began on the same day. When the Airport extension of the Green Line opened for service on April 14, 2013, this station became the third transfer station between FrontRunner and TRAX. The FrontRunner portion of this station was built to provide a transfer station between FrontRunner and the Green Line, since

3096-544: The Granery District. Once completed, this infrastructure is planned to allow for: Additionally, the Strategic Plan highlights expansion of the TRAX network to the University of Utah Research Park , splitting off from the current system at University South Campus station . This new service would be provided by the proposed Orange Line. UTA proposes that these expansions be completed prior to Salt Lake City's hosting of

3182-608: The Green Line 2-3 car trains, and the Red Line 2-4 car trains. The first line, running from downtown Salt Lake City south to Sandy , was completed in 1999. The second line from downtown to the University of Utah was completed in 2001 and extended in 2003. An extension to the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub was completed in April 2008. In August 2011, two extensions to South Jordan and West Valley City were completed. With

3268-573: The Green Line, including a transfer station to the FrontRunner . On November 14, 2006, the Draper City Council approved the TRAX extension into that city. Neighbors in the area have continually fought the route suggested by UTA. The route follows an old rail line and UTA already owned the right of way. An alternative route that would run down the middle of State Street was also studied by UTA. Use of

3354-785: The Journal of Geographical Information Science, found that taxis located in regions where buildings housed a greater variety of functions had greatly reduced traveling distances. Shorter traveling distances, in turn, support the use of micro-mobility . Pedestrian and bike-friendly infrastructure are fostered due to increased density and reduced distances between housing, workplaces, retail businesses, and other amenities and destinations. Additionally, mixed-use projects promote health and wellness, as these developments often provide better access (whether it be by foot, bicycle, or transit) to farmer's markets and grocery stores. However, hybrid metropolises, areas that have large and tall buildings which accommodate

3440-579: The Red Line south from Daybreak . Initial proposals would have the line travel south to Herriman before either turning eastbound and passing through Riverton before terminating in Draper , or continuing south through Herriman toward the Rosecrest neighborhood and Zions Bank Stadium . UTA has historically discussed proposals to extend the Blue Line from Draper to Lehi and eventually Orem , as well as creating

3526-522: The S Line opened on December 8, 2013. In 2023, UTA published its Light Rail Strategic Plan, which highlighted plans by the agency to build new tracks along both 400 South and 400 West in Downtown Salt Lake City , connecting to the existing TRAX network at Ballpark to the south, Courthouse to the east, and either Salt Lake Central or Planetarium to the west. This expansion is also planned to include new stations at Pioneer Park and within

3612-565: The UTA right of way for the line was challenged in court and later approved by the Utah Supreme Court on July 12, 2008. UTA published a draft Environmental Impact Statement for the new line that names the UTA right of way as the preferred route. The extension's first phase, which includes 3.5 miles (5.6 km) and three new stations, opened on August 18, 2013. When FrontRunner (UTA's commuter rail train) started running on April 26, 2008,

3698-457: The United States came after World War II when planner and New York City Parks Commissioner , Robert Moses , championed superhighways to break up functions and neighborhoods of the city. The antithesis to these practices came from activist and writer, Jane Jacobs , who was a major proponent of mixed-use zoning, believing it played a key role in creating an organic, diverse, and vibrant streetscape. These two figures went head-to-head during much of

3784-849: The University Line to Rice-Eccles Stadium allowed it to be completed in 2001 with four new stations, ahead of schedule and the Olympics. An extension to the University Medical Center that added three new stations was completed on September 29, 2003, fifteen months ahead of schedule. An infill station at 900 South in Salt Lake City was constructed in 2005, and a second infill station, at 9400 South in Sandy ( Sandy Expo ), opened in August 2006. On December 13, 2006, UTA's board of trustees voted to change

3870-593: The addition of another residential tower, which would become The Regent. What became the Kirton McConkie Building was known as Tower 4 during development and it was originally planned to be a residential structure, but after construction started, developers felt it better to change the building's use to commercial. As construction progressed, some areas of the development opened prior to the 2012 grand opening. The food court opened on June 10, 2009. Deseret Book's flagship store opened on March 25, 2010. The first of

3956-403: The block east of Main Street. There is approximately 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m) of additional retail space for specialty stores. A Harmons grocery store is located on the eastern-most (3rd) block, at the corner of 100 South and 200 East streets. Among the first tenants of the mall were: The Disney Store , Tiffany & Co. , H&M , Porsche Design, The Cheesecake Factory , and

4042-490: The block was redeveloped. The LDS Church, via its various business interests, has long owned property adjacent to its headquarters campus and Temple Square. In 1975, the church had opened ZCMI Center Mall and in 2003, it acquired the neighboring Crossroads Plaza mall. By the early 2000s, these two malls (sometimes called the "Downtown Malls" or “Main Street Malls") were ageing and struggling with vacancies. In November 2001,

4128-414: The church announced more detailed plans regarding the development. These new plans would no longer preserve and remodel the two different downtown malls, but rather, would demolish them and build a single mall, known as City Creek Center. TCI had been brought in early during the development process to serve as a consultant to PRI during the planning and to manage retail leasing. One of the church's motives for

4214-414: The development along the city's street-grid to keep CCC integrated to the urban fabric. They took inspiration from the area's original City Creek to create a 1,200-foot (370 m) long waterway, complete with waterfalls and boulders (meant to mimic streams in the surrounding Wasatch Range ), traversing the property in the center of the main walkway. Unlike a similar recreation in nearby City Creek Park ,

4300-427: The development. The critics included merchants from nearby parts of the city, who expressed concern that the skybridge would divert traffic from street-level stores adjacent to the development. They stated a similar result had occurred thirty years prior, after the construction of ZCMI Center and Crossroads Plaza, during which longtime businesses such as Auerbach's and The Paris Company collapsed. Some observers felt CCC

4386-483: The development. The parking is mixed use, serving monthly, daily and residential use. CCC is anchored by two national department stores: Nordstrom and Macy's . Nordstrom has a two-level, 125,000 sq ft (11,600 m) store located on West Temple street, across from the Salt Palace Convention Center and Macy's occupies a three-level store of 155,000 sq ft (14,400 m), located on

The Metropolitan Area Express , Portland's light rail system, encourages the mixing of residential, commercial, and work spaces into one zone. With this one-zoning-type planning system, the use of land at increased densities provides a return in public investments throughout the city. Main street corridors provide flexible building heights and high density uses to enable "gathering places". Hudson Yards project

4558-407: The expanded system of 17.5 miles (28.2 km) served an estimated 40,000 passengers each day. Ridership for the fourth quarter of 2012 was reported to be at 60,600, making it the ninth-busiest light rail system in the United States of America . Light rail in the Salt Lake Valley was first seriously discussed in the late 1980s to provide an alternative to traffic congestion on I-15 , but the idea

4644-537: The flagship store of Deseret Book . As of 2024, a number of early tenants have left the mall, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic . Among those stores that have closed include: The Disney Store, Forever 21 , The GYM, and Microsoft Store . The food court is located near the northeast corner, in the lower level between KeyBank Tower and adjoining World Trade Center. Several eateries are located there, including Bocata, Chick-fil-A , McDonald's , Red Iguana, Sbarro . The Kirton McConkie Building, which houses

4730-491: The groundbreaking insisted light rail would be dangerous and a waste of money. Public opinion remained divided and businesses on Main Street in downtown Salt Lake City suffered during the construction period. After the north–south line opened in late 1999 with sixteen stations, ridership expectations were quickly met. The system was enthusiastically embraced by valley residents, to the surprise of many, and once-skeptical communities soon began clamoring for extensions. Funding for

In 2024, UTA ordered 20 Stadler Citylink vehicles, with upwards to 80 vehicles, to replace the Siemens SD-100 and SD-160 LRVs. They are expected to enter service in 2028. Varying based on projected ridership, the Blue Line typically operates 3-4 car trains,

In particular, the 1988 Plan was designed in collaboration with a transport strategy and was the first to recommend higher development densities. Since then, Australian planning authorities have given greater priority to mixed-use development of inner-city industrial land as a way of revitalising areas neglected by the decline in manufacturing, consolidating and densifying

4988-502: The mall's Key Bank Tower was demolished via implosion . It was the last piece of Crossroads Plaza to be razed. Demolition of the ZCMI Center block began in summer 2007. Preliminary approval from the city's planning commission allowed subsurface work to begin in early 2008, and the first concrete pour for a building occurred in March 2008, on what would become 99 West.

On February 23, 2006, plans for extending the main line westward to the current Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub near the Gateway were approved. Two stations were built near the Gateway, as well as one at the Salt Lake Central Station (Salt Lake Intermodal Hub). They opened in April 2008, bringing

A line from Salt Lake City International Airport to the University of Utah was in the original plans for the system to be completed before the 2002 Winter Olympics, but funding shortages only allowed the eastern portion to be constructed. The airport line eventually came to fruition, however, and ground was broken on October 22, 2008. The extension opened on April 14, 2013, adding 6 miles (9.7 km) and six additional stations to

5504-404: The planned demolition of the historic building, the church agreed to save the structure. Originally, a third anchor, Dillard's , was also planned for the mall. After public concern about the alignment of the restored Regent Street area, the street plan was modified, which then left insufficient space for Dillard's and the store was cancelled. This resulted in more space for other, smaller stores and

5590-412: The previously underpopulated urban centres. This new urban planning approach has had a significant impact on the use of land parcels in major Australian cities: according to 2021 data from Australian Bureau of Statistics , mixed zoning already suppose more than 9% of new housing approvals. One of the first cities to adopt a policy on mixed-use development is Toronto . The local government first played

5676-526: The project was to protect Temple Square from urban decay . Demolition of the old malls and other structures commenced in November 2006, beginning with the Inn at Temple Square. The destruction proceeded across the site from west to east, with several businesses remaining open until a short time before their scheduled demolition. In January 2007, Crossroad Plaza's parking structure was torn down and in August of that year,

5762-408: The proposed TRAX extensions. A letter of intent signed with the Federal Transit Administration on September 24, 2007, secured the remaining funding for the light rail lines. Both the University Line and its extension to the University Medical Center were completed ahead of schedule. A daily ridership of 15,000 was expected for the initial 15-mile (24 km) line in 1999. By the beginning of 2008,

5848-441: The protection of property values stood as the motivation behind this separation. In the United States, the practice of zoning for single-family residential use was instigated to safeguard communities from negative externalities , including air, noise, and light pollution, associated with heavier industrial practices. These zones were also constructed to alleviate racial and class tensions. The heyday of separate-use zoning in

5934-497: The regulations in place, the city has overseen the development of high-rise condominiums throughout the city with amenities and transit stops nearby. Toronto's policies of mixed-use development have inspired other North American cities in Canada and the United States to bring about similar changes. One example of a Toronto mixed-use development is Mirvish Village by architect Gregory Henriquez . Located at Bloor and Bathurst Street ,

6020-515: The reroute of the Green Line for the Airport extension would have left the Green Line without any common station with FrontRunner. For several years a TRAX spur into the Salt Lake City neighborhood of Sugar House had been contemplated. A series of community meetings were held in Sugar House as part of a larger transit study undertaken by UTA. Several transit alternatives were presented to the neighborhood, including bus rapid transit , light rail, and

France similarly gravitates towards mixed-use as much of Paris is simply zoned to be "General Urban," allowing for a variety of uses. Even zones that house the mansions and villas of the aristocrats focus on historical and architectural preservation rather than single family zoning. Single family zoning
