Lincoln Property Company and ACORE Capital have rebranded the former Industry SLC structure in Salt Lake City's Granary District as Foundry43, an adaptive-reuse project on a steel foundry site, according to Connect CRE.
Foundry43 sits on a 230,000-square-foot campus. The creative office addition is 64,000 square feet. A fitness center takes up 34,000 square feet. Retail accounts for 12,000 square feet. The garage has 1,000 stalls. ACORE brought in Lincoln to stabilize and reposition the property; parking and retail construction are done. JLL is leading leasing.
The foundry is Lincoln's latest repositioning bet. This week the firm closed on a $450 million tri-state portfolio with Saber-Hightower and Waterfall. It also delivered The Bluffs office rehab in Playa Vista — same playbook, different buildings.
Foundry43 is the right kind of office trade: small-bay creative space in a live-work neighborhood, not another glass tower with nothing around it. Office distress concentrates in inventory nobody rebuilt. If the rents don't justify the amenities, the fitness center is a very expensive parking garage. The 64,000 square feet of lease-up will show whether repositioned industrial property can command the rents those amenities imply.
