SALT LAKE CITY — No, Smith Entertainment Group isn't seeking 600-foot skyscrapers, as some wondered when it secured a zoning amendment of land east of the Delta Center for a new "sports, entertainment, culture and convention district" in and around the Delta Center. The primary owner of the Utah Jazz and Mammoth is planning to move forward with a mixed-use development that brings new housing and business options downtown, including a hotel reaching nearly 250 feet. It would surround a brand new, taller Salt Palace Convention Center, along with a new Utah Museum of Contemporary Art building, according to new renderings that Ryan Smith, the company's chairman and CEO, unveiled in a video on Wednesday, which also featured Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson and Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall. Abravanel Hall will also undergo renovations, but most of the building will be preserved following a push to save the historic building in 2024. Construction tied to the larger project is on track to begin next year, with a goal of completing the entire district before the 2034 Winter Olympics. "This is a massive win for Salt Lake City," Mendenhall said.
