Work has begun on the first phase of Downtown Daybreak in South Jordan, Larry H. Miller Real Estate said in a release. Preparatory work is underway on the urban center that will be a walkable, bikeable and transit-connected regional hub in the Southwest Quadrant of Salt Lake County. Phase 1 will include a minor-league baseball stadium where the Salt Lake Bees will relocate for the 2025 season.

“Larry H. Miller Real Estate, Daybreak and the City of South Jordan are aligned to{mprestriction ids="1,3"} deliver a regional destination that provides needed jobs, housing diversity, transit and walkability, sports and entertainment, and open space,” said Brad Holmes, president of Larry H. Miller Real Estate. “This innovative and transformative approach is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to provide a visionary and collaborative solution to Utah’s families and businesses. We appreciate our stakeholders and partners and look forward to creating a project that brings value and joy to our community.”

Downtown Daybreak is part of a plan that originated over 20 years ago between the city of South Jordan and the original landowners, Rio Tinto Kennecott, and continues today with Larry H. Miller Real Estate.

“The city of South Jordan and Larry H. Miller Real Estate are creating a model of healthy, connected and inclusive growth while focusing on traffic, air quality, water conservation and housing diversity,” the Miller release said. Downtown Daybreak will be built using a phased approach over the next 15-plus years.

“The city of South Jordan is proud to welcome Downtown Daybreak to the fastest-growing area within Salt Lake County,” said South Jordan Mayor Dawn Ramsey. “This mixed-use urban center is a regional destination for families, jobs, housing, sports and entertainment, dining and retail and outdoor recreation. It truly is where urban meets nature and we are excited to welcome our community and friends to join the experience.”

The location of Phase 1 will be between Mountain View Corridor and Grandville Avenue/Lake Avenue and Big Sur Drive.{/mprestriction}
