The Gateway
A mixed-use district in the heart of Salt Lake City
JERDE came up with the idea to convert Union Pacific's historic depot and abandoned rail yard into a 24-hour district in the heart of Salt Lake City, as the city was losing commerce and housing to the suburbs. Designed to bring activity back to the downtown core, The Gateway is an urban street lined with two levels of retail, entertainment and cultural facilities with upper-level housing and office space.

The street connects to existing circulation patterns, anticipating infill development that will result in a vibrant, two-mile loop. The success of The Gateway's approach is clear. The project attracted a different caliber tenant, many of whom were new to the city or state. In their first month, many of the retailers broke sales records.
