The white behemoth Details: If you've ever walked into the heart of downtown on 200 South, you might have felt a massive blank wall glaring at you near 200 East.

It would also put an apartment building in a nearby parking lot. 2. South Temple Tower Details: The 24-story office building downtown into luxury apartments, with construction starting early next year.The building's new owner plans to strip the building to its "core and shell," so it's not clear how the exterior may change. 3. The State Street Pentagon Details: Our "Where in Salt Lake?" subject was the eye-catching, angular blue and white building at 1700 South and State Street — and it did not escape reader condemnation in your quest for eyesores.
