650 Main

650 Main is a new 10-story, Class A office building on Salt Lake City’s growing south side. HOK designed the building to offer an amenity-rich experience tailored to meet the demands of today’s workforce. With its prime downtown location and unparalleled offerings, 650 Main is a unique workplace destination.

The building’s dynamic design captures the attention of visitors approaching from different directions. The Main Street facade has a clean and transparent look that encourages interactions with street-side activities. As people move east along 600 South, the structure transitions from a more expansive base to a sleeker tower, featuring a striking metal panel grid that stands out against the glazing. The building’s massing is carefully composed, with metal panels and alternative glass systems adding texture and intrigue.

A key aspect of the facade is the relationship between the glass walls to the north, which offer expansive views, and the punched windows to the south. By maximizing daylight and views while minimizing solar heat gain, the building’s facade contributes to its overall energy efficiency.

As a LEED Gold-certified building, 650 Main sets a new standard for health and sustainability. Large, open floor plates and floor-to-ceiling glass maximize daylight and panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and skyline. Outdoor terraces on the fifth and ninth floors offer employees spaces to recharge. The HVAC system delivers 30% more air ventilation than local codes require, further enhancing the building’s environmental performance.

650 Main’s ground floor is a bustling hub of activity, with a variety of retail and restaurants combining with Wi-Fi-enabled outdoor gathering areas to give tenants alternative “third places” to work or socialize. The main lobby offers an engaging experience, with lounge-style seating for coworking, informal meetings or relaxation, all completed by specially commissioned artwork.

Embracing Salt Lake City’s reputation for high-quality living and healthy lifestyles, 650 Main features indoor-outdoor amenities that promote well-being and balance. An indoor fitness center with a retractable glass wall opens to an outdoor lawn for yoga and other mat-based exercises. Outdoor courtyards nestled between the office and parking garage offer meeting areas, a fire pit, ping pong tables and a bocce ball court.

650 Main also is Utah’s first office building to receive WiredScore Platinum certification, showcasing its robust infrastructure, wireless network and resilience. This connectivity ensures that the building is equipped to handle the evolving technological demands of modern businesses.

Strategically located in downtown Salt Lake City, 650 Main is just steps from a TRAX light rail station, providing convenient access to the attached parking garage, Interstate 15 and numerous downtown amenities.

Patrinely Group served as the developer.
