Smith Entertainment Group released renderings of its downtown sports, entertainment, culture, and convention complex on Wednesday.

Demolition will begin in February and March and the complex will be completed before the 2034 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games.

The new district will allow for a pedestrian walkway from City Creek to a new east-facing door at the Delta Center.

“We’re creating a walkway all the way through, and a paseo that connects the culture, convention, and sports and entertainment, all together with a central gathering place where families and people can come, experience local food, experience iconic brands, and really have a cool place to go,” Ryan Smith, head of SEG, said in a video on the social media platform X.

Next to the convention center will be a Live Nation concert venue, which will seat 6,000 and host 80-120 concerts a year.

On top of that, the plan is for SEG to replace 400 feet of loading docks on Japantown Street with retail, office, murals and more.

According to Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson, the new Salt Palace will also be a central hub for the 2034 Winter Games, serving as an operations, hospitality and event center.

Before that, the Salt Palace will also host multiple conventions at the same time.

It will include meeting rooms, exhibit halls and modern spaces to connect.

Abravanel Hall will remain with the building receiving some updates. A new art museum will also be built.

The district is expected to attract five million visitors every year, according to Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall.

“The Delta Center alone, including Jazz, Mammoth games, and other concerts and events, generates over $970 million to Salt Lake City’s economy every single year,” she said.

“In partnership with Salt Lake City, SEG created a Public Benefit Fund that contributes millions of dollars a year for Salt Lake City to use to support affordable housing, public art, transportation, and other city priorities.”
