SLC to breathe new life into its iconic old Public Safety Building downtown
City announces new partnership to renovate the historic former Public Safety Building and build 244 dwellings, up to a third of them available as rent-to-own.
Up to 16,000 square feet of ground-floor space in The Grove will host community-fortifying services such as child care, a medical clinic, sources of healthy food, car- and bike-sharing facilities and small locally owned shops, along with walkable green spaces in the block’s interior and new public art.
The news also comes as the city grapples with a shortage of homes available at all price levels, particularly those affordable to those earning the region’s average incomes or below.

Officials said plans may ultimately include four-bedroom, as well as two- and three-bedroom, units, helping to meet city goals for making downtown in general more amenable to families.

Along with saving the historic building, Thomas said, the new partnership aimed to develop the site sustainably, bring new commercial services to that neighborhood and, more importantly, offer homeownership opportunities by gradually converting rental units in the complex to condominiums via rent-to-own.
