Vision & Progress

Salt Lake’s riverfront district

The Power District is bringing Salt Lake City back to the Jordan River. And in doing so, it is weaving a colorful new pattern of city neighborhood. Where businesses and families and nature thrive together. Where a few steps will take you to work or to the water. Where you can paddle down the Jordan River or pedal down the Jordan River Parkway Trail. Catch a concert at the Fairpark or (if all goes according to plan) a game at the Major League Baseball stadium.

A full slice of Utah

This is the power of Utah’s heritage and Utah’s future. In the heart of Salt Lake City, we’re bringing together a bit of everything that makes the State of Utah so great. The best of local dining, local retail, and local entertainment including, of course, the Utah State Fairpark. The Power District is coming to life as a modern district with a warm sense of familiarity, inspired by small-town Utah. A dash of old with a lot of new. It’s urban energy at human scale, with a human heart.

Here we go

The Power District is well underway. The new ten-story, state-of-the-art headquarters of Rocky Mountain Power is rising up as we speak and is planned to open in 2027. With its inspired architecture and inviting plaza spaces, designed by world-renowned architecture firm Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, Rocky Mountain Power is kicking off the Power District in an exciting way.

We’re also shovel-ready for a corporate campus and for other office tenants, retailers and restaurants looking to help make the Power District the Salt Lake Valley’s next great place. And when it comes to homes, we have plans for a range of residences that fit a range of residents. From tech flats for the just-getting-started to more-spacious choices for growing families.

The plan for the Power District

Corporate Campus

It’s the rare urban redevelopment that has enough space for a corporate campus. And yet that is what the Power District offers: the opportunity for a company to create a build-to-suit campus experience next to a river, in the middle of a thriving city.

Residences

The Power District will feature a variety of for-lease and for-sale residences, including some that are designed and sized for families. Because so much of what we’re doing in the Power District is for families.

Retail & Dining

Expect to see a variety of shops, services and eateries in the Power District. We’re especially focused on welcoming unique local bistros, and we’re making room for some very special destination dining along the riverfront.

Entertainment

With the planned Riverwalk along with all the activities of Utah State Fairpark, the Power District will offer up year-round family fun. And if Major League Baseball arrives, well, we have a whole new ballgame.

The Riverwalk

The River Loop

With a string of unique park and plaza spaces, we’re pulling the spirit of the river all the way through the Power District, giving each office, apartment, shop and restaurant a distinctive address and a connection to the Utah outdoors.

Sports and entertainment

one way or another

The Power District is one of a handful of candidates for a Major League Baseball expansion team. In fact, acclaimed architecture firm Populous has already designed the stadium. It’s not just a handy pun to say the arrival of MLB would be a game changer for the district and for Salt Lake City, creating tremendous gravity and instant cachet. And yet even if baseball doesn’t happen, the location and plan of the Power District will make it a magnetic, year-round entertainment destination and a cornerstone of Salt Lake’s vibrant sports and entertainment scene.

The upside for Westside

Salt Lake City’s Westside is one of the most culturally rich neighborhoods in the Valley. The Power District will serve as a catalyst, bringing to Westside some well-deserved investment and visibility. Without displacing any homes, the Power District will provide improvements to infrastructure and a wider variety of jobs, housing choices, exciting new amenities and family-friendly entertainment options. And it will create partnerships and programs that elevate the multicultural vibrancy of Westside, strengthening the fabric of the whole city.

A smart mix

With a master plan created by acclaimed urban planning firm Sasaki Associates, the Power District will be one of the few parts of the Valley to bring together a tight-knit, truly walkable mix of homes, workplaces, gathering spaces, cafés, shops and entertainment. It’s a plan that makes sense in all sorts of ways. It creates a mutually supportive environment for business, bringing customers and employees closer to companies. A walkable commute with access to nature offers benefits to mind and body. And everyone who lives here will be one less person stuck on a freeway and one more person helping to alleviate the problems of congestion, pollution and sprawl that Salt Lake is working to solve.
