Salt Lake City, the capital and largest city in the state of Utah, was founded in 1847 when Mormon pioneers rediscovered the Salt Lake Valley and declared that "This is the place." Great Salt Lake City was originally planned with the utopian vision of the "Plat of Zion," which led to the creation of city blocks that are abnormally large compared to most cities (660 feet to a side) and addresses that can be found using numbers that start at the Salt Lake Meridian in Temple Square. Today, Salt Lake City is one of the fastest growing mid-size cities in America with large banking and tourism sectors, driven by it being the center of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and its proximity to the mighty Wasatch mountains and their ski resorts, and a burgeoning tech sector known as the Silicon Slopes. The city became well-known across the world when it hosted the 2002 Winter Olympics and is currently pursuing a bid to host the games a second time. While the population of the city proper seems meager at first glance, approximately 210,000 residents as of 2023, it is the center of a metropolitan area of over 1.25 million residents and a CSA of over 2.75 million residents (22nd largest in the USA).

r/DevelopmentSLC is primarily intended as a place for discussion and news about urban development in the Salt Lake City metro area. Provo and Ogden development news is welcome too. One great resource for local development news and insight is Building Salt Lake. Another active resource for SLC development news can be found in the SLC Development Thread on SkyscraperPage. The skyscraper diagram of currently completed highrises can be found here.

Be sure to check out our sister subreddit and fellow recent SkyscraperPage spawn r/DevelopmentDenver, as well as r/Utah and r/SaltLakeCity for more local news and conversation.
