City Creek Center

City Creek Center takes its name from the snow-fed source of drinking and irrigation water that flowed through the northern Salt Lake Valley when pioneering settlers first arrived in 1847. The development is a 20-acre, open-air community of residences, offices and retail stores in downtown Salt Lake City. Multi-level, foliage-lined walkways feature six acres of green space, streams and fountains to offer a vibrant core to the downtown area. Catering predominantly to pedestrian traffic, the site is serviced by light rail with a large underground parking structure for cars.

The City Creek was accepted as a LEED Neighborhood Development (LEED ND) pilot project, one of 60 pilot projects in the country selected to participate in a focus group that helped the U.S. Green Building Council finalize its LEED ND certification process.
