SWA, which provided landscape architecture and urban design services, organized the site along the city's street-grid to keep CCC integrated to the urban fabric and took inspiration from the town's original City Creek to create a 1.2 km waterway traversing the property as a pedestrian-oriented green space. The skybridge is located directly above the CCC's TRAX light rail station and was constructed by Jacobsen Construction. It weighs 320,000 pounds and includes roof panels that can be opened, glass walls and interior benches. The skybridge connects the two upper floors of the shopping center across Main Street and acts as a pedestrian connector. The site is served by the City Center station of the TRAX light rail system, and a large underground parking lot capable of holding 5,600 vehicles. A pedestrian skyway links the two city blocks across Main Street. Multi-level sidewalks feature six total acres of green space, fountains, and a stream. The mall is intended to cater predominantly to pedestrian traffic. The CCC also won an award for its retractable roof. The CCC features 700,000 ft (210,000 m) of mixed use residential, office and retail space with the main mall itself featuring an open-air design, similar to the competing The Gateway mall. A ribbon-cutting ceremony took place on March 22, 2012.Ī replica of City Creek running through the City Creek Center, July 2013 In October 2006, the concept design of CCC was announced. The church enlisted the help of TCI to help it redesign the malls into a single project and recruit retailers to fill it. In order to avert urban blight, the LDS Church purchased the mall in 2003 and redeveloped the area. Soon after, the Nordstrom store at Crossroads announced its intentions to leave the mall and open a new store at Gateway. In 2001, the Boyer Company completed its new open-air mall called The Gateway, four blocks to the west of Crossroads and ZCMI, drawing more business away from Main Street. Both malls (known unofficially as the “Main Street Malls”) had been constructed in the 1970s. History ĭevelopment of the CCC began in 2003, when a for-profit company owned by the LDS Church purchased the Crossroads Plaza Mall, a shopping center on the west side of Main Street from the ZCMI Center Mall. The CCC project itself has been estimated to cost around $1.5 billion. The City Creek Center is part of an estimated $5 billion sustainable design project to revitalize downtown Salt Lake City. This shopping, office, and residential center encompass nearly 20 acres (8.1 ha) of downtown Salt Lake City. The CCC opened to the general public on March 22, 2012. PRI invested in the housing and parking elements of the mall, while TCI owns and operates the shopping center itself.

The CCC integrates shopping and residential elements, with foliage-lined walkways and streams covering two blocks in the heart of downtown Salt Lake.
