With the final touches going on at the new Provo City Center Temple, and the other building going on in downtown, people want to know what’s happening across the street on University Avenue.
Soren Halladay, project manager for PEG Development has the answer – 200 CityCenter, a new luxury apartment complex. It will replace buildings including the old Sharpe Photography building and the Latino Mercado.
“We’re in the final stages of review,” Halladay said. “Our goal is to be in the ground before year end.”
The development, 200 CityCenter, will feature 159 luxury studio, one and two-bedroom apartments with views of the new temple, downtown and mountains. The majority of the units are two bedroom, two bath units.
“There will be three separate buildings with the big focus on 200 South University,” Halladay said. “The target is to be completed by summer of 2017.”
The main floor of the complex will feature a 3,500 square foot club house, spa and leasing office among other amenities.
“The south building will have a rooftop terrace overlooking the temple,” Halladay said. “They will be L shaped with different floor plans.”
The apartments will be conducive to urban living and will be between 735 and 1,300 square feet.
“A cool feature is a residential courtyard, hot tub, grass area, with a fire pit area and barbecue area,” Halladay said.
There will also be underground parking with 1.2 stalls per unit and bike parking.
Halladay said there is ample bike storage in each individual unit, along with bike storage in the parking garage.
Inside the units the kitchens will have islands with bars that will give residents the option of eating at the bar or at the dining location. Halladay noted that dining areas are being eliminated from most urban floorplans but these units aren’t cutting corners.
The average rent will be approximately $1.33 per square foot, and the units will likely be pet friendly.
“The style of the architecture is complimentary to the temple,” Halladay said. “They are five stories, with elevators and the units will have 9-foot ceilings.”
Halladay is hoping that folks visiting for the Provo City Center Temple open house will see what is coming and look forward to perhaps living close to the temple, downtown and the FrontRunner station.
