As for office space, several existing towers will remain, but even those buildings are set for some changes.

The current Beneficial Financial Group building will become the new Key Bank building. Beneficial Financial Group will move to the current Gateway West building. The Eagle Gate tower and the recently refurbished Zions Bank tower will remain as they are.

At the corner of 100 South and Main Street, the site of the current First Security building, a 200,000-square-foot office tower will be built.

Now that the plans are out there, the church and the developers are looking for public input.

Details of the plan are available on the Web at downtownrising.com. Several open houses will be held at sites throughout the city. And a model of the plan will be showcased at the City & County Building, 451 S. State, for the next several days.
