Salt Lake City on the Brink of a ‘Robust Emergence’

The Salt Lake City market is on the verge of a boom, and capital is hearing the call. LPC Desert West has entered the market with its first acquisition, but it plans to grow a portfolio in the state. The industrial firm purchased Access Park, a three-building, class-A industrial property in Kaysville, a suburb outside of Salt Lake City. The property totals nearly 213,000 square feet, and it is fully occupied.

“Salt Lake City is on the front side of a very robust emergence,” David Krumwiede, EVP of LPC Desert West, tells GlobeSt.com. “The demographics related to availability of land, cost of doing business and Utah’s absolutely stellar workforce is generating commitments from big companies and investors. This is adding diversity to the market, which will attract even more interest. Utah is in our Desert West region that also includes Arizona, Nevada and New Mexico, and adding assets here creates nice geographic diversity for our portfolio.”
