Construction crews placed the final beam atop the 41-floor Astra Tower residential high-rise in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, in October. Standing at 450 ft, the state’s tallest building has been under construction since early 2023, rising a full level every seven days, on average. Now that steel structural work is finished, the focus of the Astra Tower project has turned to utilities systems and interior and exterior finishes. When the tower is completed in fall 2024, it will add 377 luxury apartments to 89 East 200 South. The building will be served by four Schindler 7000 passenger elevators with Elite Position Indicator screens mounted in the auxiliary car operating panel, one service elevator and one corner post service elevator. The Astra Tower team, which includes developer Kensington Investment Co., general contractor Jacobsen Construction Co. and architect HKS, is seeking LEED Gold certification to address environmental issues specific to northern Utah, such as air quality and water conservation.
