Size25 acres/10 hectares

In the heart of Salt Lake City, City Creek Center is the retail centerpiece of one of the nation’s largest mixed-use downtown redevelopment projects. This unique fashion and dining destination includes a new two-story retail center and over 500 residential rental units over four levels of underground parking, all within a downtown setting that features spectacular views of Main Street and the surrounding mountains. The center’s shopping and leisure space features a 30,000 square foot retractable roof, outdoor dining, a creek that runs through the property, a pedestrian sky bridge and two 18-foot-tall waterfalls.

Five years in the making, City Creek Center is truly an authentic urban, mixed-use experience, seamlessly weaving office towers, a hotel, condominiums and commercial property together with over 100 stores and restaurants including Nordstrom, Macy’s, Tiffany & Co., Michael Kors, Coach and BRIO Tuscan Grill. This LEED certified center with streetscapes, public areas and green space brings nature into the urban environment and creates a true civic experience. The project has had a tremendously positive impact on the surrounding community, revitalizing a previously under utilized downtown with a world-class shopping and entertainment gem at its core.
