We had a very productive Pond Clean-Up Project today, Thanks to all of our wonderful neighbors who came out to help! Visit our Mill Creek Pond Blog:
This home sold for more than the asking price with multiple offers in less than a month.
It was good to see such a large crowd turn out for the Sugar House Street Car Public Meeting. This meeting was hosted by our friends at Kimball Distributing, information was presented and resident’s questions were addressed.
The streetcar project will connect the Sugar House neighborhood to the South Salt Lake Central Pointe redevelopment project, which promises a mix of retail, office and residential in the coming years.

Here is a picture of the site with the first couple of homes being built. They were featured in the Salt Lake Parade of homes in 2011, and now the development of 60 homes is sold out and almost completed. South Salt Lake is on the Move!
There is a great opportunity for investors in the South Salt Lake and Sugar House area, there has already been over $400 Million in private investment in the Sugar House Business District. http://www.slcrda.com/images/StreetcarDevelopment.pdf
South Salt Lake is attracting new businesses and working on a major redevelopment project in part because of the Street Car. But the story for the average investor is there are several single family homes for sale within a couple of blocks of the Street Car Tracks and a large number of Business properties that will all be updated in the coming years as a result of this Street Car Project.

“In the same way that the Riverwalk transformed downtown San Antonio, and the 16th Street Mall has revitalized downtown Denver, building on the assets of Sugar House and South Salt Lake will make this streetcar district one of the premier urban neighborhoods in the region.” Soren Simonsen, Salt Lake City Councilman
Here are some progress pictures:

As you can see from the progress pictures, there are several properties that have room for improvement and the Street Car will make the investment in these properties a good investment. It will be interesting to follow the progress of this area over the next several years.
Let me know if you are interested in investment properties along the Street Car Corridor, there are many residential opportunities out there now!

Shelly was out feeding the Ducks and noticed a Hawk in our backyard!
He is just sitting on the fence to the common area, not even to worried about us.
Looks like he is getting ready to leave.
This is probably the most common hawk in North America. If you’ve got sharp eyes you’ll see several individuals on almost any long car ride, anywhere. Red-tailed Hawks soar above open fields, slowly turning circles on their broad, rounded wings. Other times you’ll see them atop telephone poles, eyes fixed on the ground to catch the movements of a vole or a rabbit, or simply waiting out cold weather before climbing a thermal updraft into the sky.
He flew off so I went down to the Weir to get this Pic. and on my way back there he was on my neighbor’s fence poising for me!
Here he goes again.
What a lucky shot! He is landing in the common area, this guy has some injuries to his claws and he is really limping. Shelly tried to feed him a can of tuna fish, but he flew off again.
I am very Grateful that we have a backyard that has such a great variety of birds that visit us, this was a grueling weekend of work and to have Shelly call me outside to view this wonderful bird was an unbelievable break that I sure needed.
This was a hard one, but we Sold it after a lot of showings!
