Salt Lake City Northwesst Pipeline Building

Transformation and preservation of a historic landmark into a livable, walkable, and mixed-use urban neighborhood

This project involves converting the historic Northwest Pipeline Building, which served as Salt Lake City’s public safety complex, into mixed-income housing and commercial tenant space. It is part of the Housing Assistance Management Enterprise’s larger vision for The Grove—a green, dense, mixed-use community focused on family-friendly housing and community amenities. The project will include rent-to-own and rental apartments. Focused on family-friendly design principles, the design features multiple play areas, a planned childcare center and health clinic, dog park, and ample green space shaded by native trees. Connected to the city’s emerging Green Loop, the project will incorporate parking reduction strategies, such as off-site and shared parking. The Northwest Pipeline Building conversion is the first phase of a comprehensive approach to redeveloping the greater site through extensive community engagement into a planned near-net zero, micro-community that will positively contribute to the vitality of the neighborhood.

MSR Design is partnering with the Housing Assistance Management Enterprise (HAME), Xylem Projects, and Common Ground Institute on the project.
