Officials with Hines argue that delays and distractions by playhouse supporters forced them to seek the extension on the 150 South Main Street Apartments tower.
A rendition of the 31-story Main Street Apartments and an adjacent park, to be built on the site of the now-demolished Utah Theater on Salt Lake City's Main Street.Developers seeking to build a new luxury residential skyscraper on the site of the historic Utah Theater in downtown Salt Lake City said in April they needed to move swiftly to tear down the century-old venue.
But after invoking that need for speed as it successfully fought off legal attempts by historic preservationists to halt the theater’s destruction, Hines has now been granted a one-year extension on finalizing its design plans for the 31-story 150 South Main Street Apartments tower. The city’s planning commission approved the extension Wednesday, turning aside requests to hold a public hearing on the move after deciding such a hearing would not be legal., a Salt Lake City-based attorney for Hines, said the need for an extension was forced on the company by delays created by opponents of razing the theater and replacing it with the new tower. He said an administrative appeal they filed last summer had disrupted Hines’ carefully crafted construction timeline.
“We had to know what was under the building to design the building,” Baird said. “And we were prevented from knowing what was under the building” by delays in the demolition, which was in turn delayed by the appeal. “That’s the only reason we needed the extension.” A theater backer, however, told the commission via email that Hines’ request for more time to design its tower was instead evidence it had rushed to destroy the theater “in an attempt to dismiss our lawsuits and get out in front of the public outcry.” Demolition of the historic Utah Theater in Salt Lake City continued on Thursday, May 5, 2022.
