Most of the City Creek Center was completed by the end of 2011 and opened in early 2012, encompassing nearly 20 acres (81,000 m²) across three blocks in the heart of downtown Salt Lake City as a revitalization effort to restore the city's downtown into a vibrant economic and cultural center.

Demolition of the site's old structures commenced in November 2006.
By February 2007, the Inn at Temple Square had been completely demolished and work was underway to demolish the old parking structure for the Crossroads Plaza Mall.
The destruction proceeded across the site from west to east, with several businesses remaining open until a short time before their scheduled demolition.
Macy’s and Nordstrom had both closed by early February 2007.
On August 18, 2007 the twenty-story Key Bank Tower was imploded and was one of the final steps to demolition completion.
Demolition was completed by the end of 2007, and was followed by another six months of excavation and site preparation.
By July 2008, most of the below-surface structures of the Crossroads block located to the southeast of the Main Street and South Temple Street intersection were complete.
The parking structure beneath the future Nordstrom site was complete on the southwestern corner of the block.
The central core of the thirty-two story condo tower, as well as the base-work for three additional residential structures located along the northern edge of the block, had begun initial construction by mid-2008.

Building Envelope consultant, Morrison Hershfield provided services on issues from schematic through construction phases of the City Creek Center project.
This included two underground parking garages, five residential/office buildings, multiple retail stores, one building rehabilitation, and areas around and beneath the man-made stream and fountain areas.
The design of the air barrier system was developed based on a continuous air barrier membrane for all opaque wall areas tied in with the glazing and roofing/waterproofing systems.

Rebar was set into place to the south of the newly relocated Key Bank Tower located on the eastern edge of the ZCMI block to the east of the Crossroads block by the end of July 2008.
The remainder of the ZCMI block had just completed initial site preparation by this time with demolition of the remaining portion of the ZCMI Mall completed by January 2009.

The food court section, located between Key Bank and Eagle Gate towers opened on June 10, 2009 after a 2-day delay.

The first condominiums, Richard's Court, were finished during the spring of 2010.
The first tenant, a Deseret Book flagship store, opened on the first floor of Richard's Court in April 2010.
