Thrilled to host Ryan Smith as our powderland keynote speaker. He is an incredible champion for Utah and downtown #slc and we’re all lucky to have him. Very impressive hearing his passion and vision first-hand. Stephen Alfandre #powderland2024

If we all want a more inclusive, vibrant and affordable #slc, we need bold actions. I commend Mayor Erin Mendenhall and her team in finding ways to bring more contextually sensitive housing to #slc. Future generations, including my kids, will be grateful we didn't sit on our hands.

Best thing we can do to make housing more affordable, is to ... wait for it ... build more housing! We need updated zoning to encourage well-designed, diverse housing everywhere in #slc. And improved parks, trails, public transit — our future depends on it. #smartgrowth

Some ground floor architectural detailing we did at our Sloane project in #slc that I’m proud of. These are loft units with street entrances lining the parking garage.

Love seeing adaptive reuse that gives an incredibly unique, character-contributing building, like this one, new life. Kudos to the developer for making this happen.

9/10 Utahns live on 1.1% of #Utah’s land mass, making it the 8th most urban state in the country. This stat should help drive housing policy. Governor Cox’s plan for detached single family starter homes opposes this data. We need starter homes. Period. Including attached.

The Plat of Zion is the most successful American town planning strategy. But can create a harsh urban, pedestrian realm due to massive blocks & very wide streets. However, these over-sized blocks & streets can provide a lot of flexibility for good urbanism. See GranaryRow

Imagine our surprise when combing through a city code book we find our project and our father's project, from the '90's, as the preferred row home design examples! Of all the projects in the country, ours are highlighted. We're flattered, but we need better design everywhere

Post is an incredible example of place-making and thoughtful urban development. Love what Brandon Blaser and the Lowe's executed on this city block. Also beautifully connects downtown and The Granary District

New BTR drop. Enjoyed touring Salt Lake City Government planning dept through our new project in Salt Lake to show how zero setbacks and good design can allow for innovative housing. 16’ wide towns and stacked towns allowed 50+ units per acre after entitlement approval.
