Salt Lake City’s Power District Breaks Ground With Rocky Mountain Power HQ

The first phase launches a $3.5 billion west-side redevelopment positioned to be shovel-ready for an MLB ballpark within a year.

Overview

  • Officials from the Larry H. Miller Company, Rocky Mountain Power and Salt Lake City marked the Oct. 27 ceremonial start of construction on the 100-acre site near North Temple and 1500 West.
  • Rocky Mountain Power’s 10-story, 300,000-square-foot headquarters is now under construction with a two-year build schedule and an expected opening in 2027.
  • Developers say stadium infrastructure work is underway so a potential MLB ballpark site could be ready for construction within 12 months, without any team yet awarded.
  • Utah has authorized up to $900 million for a state-owned stadium, and the city previously rezoned about 93 acres with requirements for affordable housing and expedited land-use reviews.
  • The long-term plan envisions 1.3 million square feet of office space, more than 300,000 square feet of retail, roughly 4,700 homes and 300 hotel rooms, alongside a $10 million commitment for Jordan River cleanup and site improvements.
