Salt Lake City & MSA/CSA Rundown
Southern Metro - New For 2026 - 'Utah City' Project - Vineyard
The first thing to know about Utah City, the 700-acre mixed-use development taking shape inside Vineyard near the eastern shore of Utah Lake is that it’s not, you know, a city. If you don’t think too hard about the name, however, then there’s lots to be excited about for anyone following its birth and growth. Lehi, or Orem, or Provo may ultimately have something to say about the ambitious “urban core of Utah County” descriptor that Utah City marketers are transparently eager to associate with their blossoming cloud of élan musk.
It could hardly be argued, on the other hand, that Utah City planners are simply resting on their laurels and waiting for county residents to succumb to the gravitational attraction of lively PR. Rome wasn’t built in a day, and Vineyard’s new development is also on a gradual path to becoming all things to all county dwellers. There have been a number of splashy announcements since the installation of a new Frontrunner station heralded inception of Utah City in 2022, but 2025 witnessed the arrival of its first new business, upscale grocery store Bella’s Market.
There’s more where that came from, of course, and 2026 could be a banner year for development on several fronts in Utah City...
New Residential: 120 Bend + 220 Bend Now Leasing
- 120 Bend was the first residential offering, blending classic roots with modern living and offering studios through three-bedroom townhomes
- 220 Bend opened as the companion property, offering studio, one, and two-bedroom apartments with amenities designed for active living and connection
- Both properties are now leasing and represent the first completed residential phase of the community
Berliner Park (Opened April 18, 2026) - An all-abilities, movement-forward play destination anchored by Utah's first hot air balloon-inspired structure from award-winning international play designers Berliner Seilfabrik
Nearly 35 feet tall with a view from inside, a ropes course, embankment slide, climbing components, and a splash pad. The first Berliner structure in the United States that lights up, and will be visible from Utah Lake. Located on The Greenline, 12 acres of open space at the heart of Utah City
Keep It Green @ https://www.ksl.com/article/51486539/heres-how-the-urban-core-development-utah-city-is-shaping-up
Berliner Park is attached to the 12-acre Greenline Waterfront Park, a greenbelt area that will eventually feature more than 1,000 trees and extend from the shore of Utah Lake deep into the heart of the Utah City development’s five distinct districts. The trees that will both visually and physically anchor the Greenline area include a mix of evergreen and deciduous species that will be drought tolerant. When the Greenline piece of the Utah City puzzle was first announced at the end of 2024, planners had already selected a number of varieties of trees to be planted.
Among the trees that will be included are ruby sunset maples, emerald sunshine elms, prairie gold quaking aspens, and Norwegian sunset maples. Greenline Waterfront Park will also (eventually) connect directly to Utah Lake, and (eventually) feature a variety of public spaces. Some of what’s in the works includes an off-the-leash dog park, sand volleyball courts, an amphitheater for large public events, and a walkable retail space (think Provo’s Riverwoods shopping development).
Pizza and Basketball - https://nrvutah.com/2026/04/03/vineyards-utah-city-development-is-growing-and-innovating/
Pizza lovers across Utah Valley will doubtless be intrigued by one of Utah City’s first dining experiences. Brooklyn-based Fini Pizza is making Utah City its first expansion beyond (checks notes) Gotham itself. Believe it or not, the only places to get Fini Pizza or dine at Fini Café will be — at least for the time being — New York City (where Fini has a handful of locations) and Utah City. That’s definitely a dining development that many would not have anticipated. But Fini’s is not just about celebrating and serving Big Apple pie.
- Bringing together padel, tennis, and pickleball, three of the fastest-growing sports in the country, with shaded lounges, dedicated viewing areas, leagues, lessons, tournaments, and social events for all skill levels
- Utah City's experiential retail village featuring 10 curated intimate retail spaces anchored by a central restaurant
- Designed for flexibility with a rotating mix of pop-ups, limited runs, and immersive brand experiences, offering something unlike anything else in Utah's retail landscape
- The Utah Public Service Commission approved Corix as a designated heat corporation, making Utah City home to the state's first heating and cooling thermal public utility
- The system uses geothermal technology and recycled waste heat to power all residential and commercial buildings across the 700-acre development, creating a scalable, cost-effective, environmentally friendly energy network
- A first-of-its-kind regulatory precedent in Utah
