Proposed Frank Gehry-designed megaproject will include tallest building in Utah
The hotel could possibly be made of glass, Andersen said, revealing additional details about the design concepts of internationally famous "starchitect" Frank Gehry.
The development will surround a man-made lake in the bowl on the east side of I-15 just south of the Point of the Mountain. The buildings will rise on either side of the lake, inspired by Utah's natural slot canyons.
The 85-acre development will be a multi-billion-dollar project, Andersen told the Deseret Morning News. It will include a sports arena and residential housing mixed with commercial shops.
Seventy percent of the area will be open space, said Andersen, who submitted plans to city on Wednesday before an afternoon press conference that included Lehi City leaders.
The city must re-zone the area for the development to move forward, but Lehi purchased the land from the LDS Church and turned around and sold it to Andersen with this project in mind.
The lake will serve as a secondary irrigation reservoir for Lehi.
