An academic future for Triad
LDS finalize deal, will turn block into education center
The Triad Center purchase, announced Tuesday at the Devereaux House, which is part of the Triad campus, includes the three Triad Center office buildings, which will be renovated and refitted to house the LDS Business College and the Salt Lake extension campus of Brigham Young University. The church bought the property from M&S Triad Center, a California real estate investment trust.
In addition to the office complex, the deal includes two parking structures and the transfer of long-term subleases from the state for about three acres of property that includes the Devereaux House and Carriage Cafe. In total, the purchase includes about 10 acres of property and land. The financial terms were not disclosed.
When Burton unveiled the church's plans last October for the downtown mall renovation, the site for the education campus was thought to be Block 85 the downtown city block just east of the Triad Center, which was used as the medals plaza during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games.
Purchasing existing buildings, rather than building new ones, will be cost-effective for the church, Burton said. It also provides and preserves flexibility for the church in how it wants to use Block 85, as well as the rest of the Triad Center block.
About 5,000 students are expected to attend the two schools initially. The church has no immediate plans for the current LDS Business College site on South Temple.
The church's purchase did not include the building that houses KSL-TV and KSL Newsradio 1160, which are owned by Bonneville International Corp., a church-affiliated business. It also did not include a surface parking lot on the southwest corner of 400 West and South Temple, which is owned by Property Reserve Inc., the church's commercial real estate arm.
