In suburban Salt Lake City, Utah, plans are underway to replace an old strip mall with a mixed use, transit oriented development.
"Developers are planning a sizable mixed-use project that could become a cornerstone for transit-oriented development around one of Midvale's two TRAX stations."
"Center Square will replace an aging strip mall, anchored by a Family Dollar Store, at 7720 South (Center Street) and 150 West. The new development will feature 8,000 square feet of retail space, 36,000 square feet of offices and 90 condominiums and town homes."
