The Point

The Point has appropriately been called a "once-in-a-generation development opportunity” for Utah. The 600-acre parcel of state-owned land is at the epicenter of one of the fastest-growing regions in the country at the heart of Utah’s burgeoning technology sector, “Silicon Slopes.” The strategically planned development at the site will create a future-focused mixed-use community, creating tens of thousands of high-paying jobs, promoting sustainable living, and catalyzing cutting-edge research and innovation. With beautiful mountain views, outstanding recreational opportunities, and a range of housing choices, The Point will be a vibrant and welcoming community. The site has frontage on I-15 and will be served directly by a commuter rail station, light rail, and an internal circulator.
