After years of planning, construction begins on a new luxury 372-apartment tower at 200 S. State Street as part of the city’s latest building boom.

After years of planning, crews break ground on a new luxury 372-apartment tower at 200 S. State Street as part of the city’s latest building boom.

The new tower initiated at 200 S. State Street — the former site of a Carl Jr. fast-food restaurant and adjoining surface parking lot — is expected to be finished by October 2024. Salt Lake City’s latest high-rise of luxury studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments — likely to reach the city’s upper echelons on monthly rents —will be capped by two floors of exclusive penthouses, served by a dedicated high-speed elevator.

Valdemoros said the skyscraper project was emblematic of downtown’s new and “inevitable” direction in urban planning, toward more dense housing and vertical construction. Astra, she said, advanced a long-held vision for “a walkable downtown with taller buildings and more vibrant streets filled with new residents.”

A cleared patch of land is pictured in May of 2021, as it is readied for the new Astra Tower, a 372-unit luxury residential tower to rise at 200 S. State Street in Salt Lake City. A groundbreaking ceremony on Wednesday, Jan. 12, 2021, marked the start for Utah's tallest building, constructed to new city sustainability standards and is expected to open in fall of 2024.
