The vacant Newspaper Agency Co. building—a historic industrial space just outside downtown Salt Lake City—was revitalized through this $34-million effort. Traeger’s new headquarters will accommodate more than 500 employees, with offices, a retail showroom, training and test kitchen and an indoor/outdoor patio.

Limitations on the existing building’s footprint meant the team had to be creative in designing the space to fit its new functionality. Scope also involved extensive excavation work, requiring crews to dig down to the footings. Given the building’s age, the contractor had to implement structural reinforcements by adding steel structures to the existing walls.
