An urban development along State Street in downtown Salt Lake City, The Aster required extensive civil design coordination and off-site improvements. Galloway provided surveying, civil engineering, and permitting services, including demolition planning and coordination with Utah Department of Transportation, the city, and utility providers, for State Street upgrades, alleyway sewer and storm drain design, and power and communications infrastructure from over a block away.
The Aster development blends affordable and market-rate residential units with commercial spaces, wrapped around a vibrant open-air paseo—an intentional urban design that fosters a true live-work-play atmosphere.
The paseo walkway is designed not just as a path but a communal hub—hosting events, dining, concerts, and housing the historic Cramer House, which will be revived into a culinary destination.
The design grouped two new towers—8 and 12 stories tall—around a pedestrian paseo that runs mid-block between State Street and Floral Street. This paseo anchors the project with ground-level retail, live/work units, and public space, while preserving and restoring the historic Cramer House (an 1890 building) at the eastern terminus.
The Aster is a standout example of how intentional design and innovative engineering can transform a troubled site into a vibrant, affordable, and community-centered urban development.
