Work Begins on Salt Lake City Skyscraper

17 January 2022 | Salt Lake City, United States

Developers from Boston are moving forward with the construction of a new luxury residential building on State Street that could be among Salt Lake City’s tallest skyscrapers.

Astra Tower will stand 450 feet (137 meters) high at its top point and bring 372 or so high-end apartments across 40 stories to the city’s growing downtown, according to the financial backers with Boston-based Kensington Investment Co., who launched the work in mid January, 2022, with a short groundbreaking ceremony.
