Summary, model-written

Salt Lake Hardware Building (155 N 400 W) is currently operating as commercial office space after a 1996 conversion from warehouse use. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001. The retrofit was completed prior to the current operating status.

Why. Opportunity reasons include: retrofit already built (no new construction needed), Salt Lake County grew 5.7% 2018–23, and median rent is $1,493. Peer comparisons show four similar 'reinhabit' conversions with score 4.0.

Where it stands. Located within 1km of closed mall The Gateway (0.5km) and demolished Crossroads Plaza (0.9km). Within 10km cluster includes 8 sites (3 closed, 2 demolished, 3 built).

  • Verified status is 'draft' (record incomplete).
  • No vacancy rate or current occupancy data provided.
  • County population growth and median rent are cited as positive indicators.

For a developer

  • No new construction cost required (retrofit already done).
  • Adjacent to proposed developments (e.g., Hardware Apartments, 2018 phase).
  • Peer data confirms 'reinhabit' strategy success for similar industrial-to-office conversions.

What we do not know yet

  • 'Verified: draft' indicates record may be incomplete.
  • No current tenant or occupancy data provided.
  • Traffic data (27,084 ADT) not linked to current use.
