In January, Boston-based developer Kensington Investment Co. and Salt Lake City-based general contractor Jacobsen Construction Co. broke ground on what is set to become the tallest building in Utah.
When complete, the 40-story Astra Tower in Salt Lake City will stand 450 feet tall and include 372 apartment units as well as private parking, ground-floor retail and 40,000 square feet of amenity space. Unit plans include studio and one- and two-bedroom apartments, with the top two floors reserved for penthouse suites. The project team is seeking LEED Gold certification for the building, and intends to integrate WELL Building concepts into its operation once complete in fall 2024.
