Much to Celebrate at the end of Year No. 5
Well it’s official – we made it through the end of our fifth year at Utah
Construction & Design, a milestone we’re proud of, but one we’re not taking for
granted. We close this year as always with our most popular issue of the year – a
recap of the Most Outstanding Projects of 2017.
This year we recognized 36 award-winning projects in 38 categories, an Utah Construction & Design Magazine
incredibly diverse mix of projects throughout the state led by our ‘Project of the 2607 S Decker Lake Blvd. Suite 100
Year’ – Vivint Smart Home Arena Renovation, a $125 million, full-blown remake of Salt Lake City, UT 84119
this iconic home of the Utah Jazz. Beyond the size and scope of this project, which

they think? Will they approve? Will they like it? Will
they support us?’ We found that people old and young felt at home in this arena. I remember having a profound
sense of appreciation as we shook their hands and welcomed them. We as a family are stewards of this important
community resource.
“We knew then that we would need to ensure the arena continually exceeded the expectations and served
the purpose of enriching our community. For 25 years we’ve worked hard to live up to those expectations. Earlier
this year we placed the Utah Jazz and this arena in a legacy trust. We wanted to ensure that all would survive for
many, many generations. This is a new beginning, and we’re proud to say we’ve accomplished that purpose – the
Jazz and building cannot be separated. They are here to stay!”
The other 35 award-winning projects from 2017 weren’t too shabby, either. Another standout, entertainment-
related project was Hale Centre Theatre, a dynamic $80 million, 122,000 SF facility in Sandy that boasts Hale’s
signature 900-seat ‘theater-in-the-round’ and dynamic mechanical stage, as well as a 461-seat proscenium thrust Utah Construction & Design is published eight (8) times a year. Postage
