From Deseret News archives:
Development planned for Gale Street
Gale Street Properties LLC acquired the 7.9 acres at 529 S. Gale St. (340 West) from the Salt Lake Tribune on Dec. 31, according to documents from the Salt Lake County Recorder.
Reagan Outdoor Advertising Inc. is listed as a trustee for Gale Street Properties, but a principal with Gale Street Properties said Reagan will not be affiliated with the development. The principals are the same, but Gale Street Properties is a separate entity, and a separate management team will be hired for the development.
The development will be modeled after the Westgate City Center in Glendale, Ariz., which has residential, retail, offices, hotels and an arena that is home to the Phoenix Coyotes, a National Hockey League team.
On Gale Street, the possible ice rink probably won't come with a professional hockey team, said the principal. The retail component will have indoor walkways to accommodate shoppers when it's cold.
"We're just getting started on it," the principal said. "It's still in the very early phases, the planning phases."
"We got in excess of $7 million for it," Singleton said this week.
The Gale Street property was the site of a printing press and mail room and had been owned, along with offices and printing presses on Regent Street, by both the Tribune and Deseret News until November. The newspapers had opened new advertising offices with modern printing presses in West Valley City and no longer needed the Salt Lake properties.
While the News received some money in the real-estate transaction with the Tribune, it will not be enough to prevent the paper from laying off up to 35 people in coming weeks. Revenue is down 32 percent, and the News' management announced the cuts last week as part of a restructuring plan to financially revive the paper.
The News owned 42 percent of the Gale Street property and 50 percent of the Regent Street property, assessed for about $3 million. The Tribune gave the News the Regent Street property and about $1.6 million to compensate for the higher value of the Gale Street property, News publisher Jim Wall said.
