Nestled in the heart of Salt Lake City, The Gateway is more than just a shopping center — it’s a dynamic open-air destination where retail, entertainment, and history come together. Built around the iconic Union Pacific Depot, The Gateway stretches across several downtown blocks, from 50 North to 200 South, and 400 to 500 West.
At the center of it all is Rio Grande Street, a one-way thoroughfare that transforms into a lively event space throughout the year. Whether it’s festivals, concerts, or outdoor markets, there’s always something happening.
While The Gateway once boasted nearly 90 traditional retail outlets, it’s recently evolved into something more exciting — a vibrant social hub. Today, visitors come not just to shop, but to explore unique local boutiques, dine at trendy restaurants, and experience Salt Lake’s growing nightlife scene.
Whether you’re a local looking for a new weekend hangout or a visitor exploring downtown, The Gateway offers a fresh take on city life — blending the old with the new in a space that invites connection, culture, and community.
