The Randi.
Over 4,000 square feet of rooftop above an urban infill building, with the downtown skyline and the Wasatch Mountains all the way round.
The site had no room to compete on scale. So it competes on the moment you step onto the roof.
A parking lot with the right address.
When CW Urban bought the land that would become The Randi, it was nothing more than a broken-up surface parking lot. But the potential for some of the highest-value apartments in the city was already there.
Demand for urban apartments was surging in Utah’s capital, and there was hardly a more central location, with unmatched access to neighborhood drinks, dining, and shopping. To sell the project and confidently meet the projected rents, the owners knew a rooftop amenity would be key.
We worked with CW Urban’s architectural team on a rooftop that held to their theme: style with substance. Not one without the other.
Two large gathering spaces for grilling and dining, a sun lounge, and a 10-foot communal fire pit.
It’s big, but it doesn’t behave like one big deck. It’s a run of smaller places, each with its own reason to stop, and it stays generous even when it’s full.
Reduced area, consistent value.
The rooftop you’re looking at was planned even bigger. Then construction costs climbed, and the scope had to come down.
Instead of cutting anything from the program, we rearranged the design to fit the smaller footprint, so the value to CW Urban and the experience for residents stayed put.
So the roof still carries the whole program: the gathering spaces, the sun lounge, the 10-foot fire pit. Smaller than planned, same list.
It’s not the size. It’s the strategy.
The rooftop is what sets The Randi apart as a premier apartment building in the heart of Salt Lake City. It also became a sales tool that helped drive a successful lease-up.
One rooftop photo now shows the building’s two most marketable traits at once: the architecture and the address.
By lifting unit rents, the rooftop adds an estimated $1 million to the value of the property. At least.
The rooftop at theRANDI is a standout amenity downtown. The 360 views were there but Loft Six Four brought them to life. They transformed the top of a multifamily building to a gathering place where residents can connect in an outdoor lounge in the sky. Conversation nodes are programmed around an outdoor kitchen, fire pits, lounge areas and water wise landscaping.
