deChase is joint venturing with Edlen & Co. on developing the latest addition to the downtown Murray City Center. Following the energy and activity created by the catalytic Murray City Hall immediately adjacent to the west, the 48th & State project brings together two new, 6-story mixed-use residential buildings totaling 273 units with a lounge and terrace on the top floor with sweeping views of the surrounding Wasatch Range and horizon. A public plaza and 26,020 square feet of curated, ground floor retail surround three levels of structured parking.
Both mixed-use residential buildings anchor key intersections along State Street. The existing 2-3 story brick masonry (4842 and 4836 State St.) structures remain in place and provide architectural datums, materials and colors echoed in the new building facades. The design of the 48th & State project emphasizes density while prioritizing human scale and urban vitality. For this reason, the design team felt that it was necessary to create two complementary buildings with their own identity and materiality.
The proposed development provides vital density to downtown Murray City while promoting eclectic storefronts, cultural and entertainment opportunities, and promotes outdoor seating, walkability, public safety, and a strong connection to transit. Elements include grocery, retail, restaurants, apartments, residential amenities (roof-top), structured vehicular and bike parking, and a large public plaza.
Our proposal includes two buildings with distinct character connected by a retail, parking, and landscape amenity podium. This unique design will balance density and urban design with a connection to nature. Main entries will be easily located, welcoming, and provide a strong connection to the street. Active facades with a minimum depth of 40-feet will occupy street frontages. Greater setbacks occur along the southern façade to promote outdoor seating and gathering spaces along 5th Avenue. A large plaza adjacent to the Murray Mansion fuses commercial and residential functions on-site acting as a front door to the neighborhood, connecting to City Hall activities, and promoting alternate modes of transportation.
