NorthPoint & The Romney Group Breaking Ground on $1B, 19MSF Lakeview Business Park in Utah - One of America's Largest New Industrial Parks

11/23/2020
SALT LAKE CITY, Ut., November 23, 2020 – The joint partnership of NorthPoint Development, a Kansas City based developer, and The Romney Group will soon begin construction on what will be a brand new more than 19-million-square-foot (msf) state-of-the-art warehouse, manufacturing, office and commercial project in Grantsville, UT. The partnership has selected Cushman & Wakefield to perform Brokerage Services.

Lakeview Business Park

Named the Lakeview Business Park, the new monumental Class A project is situated on more than 1,300 acres and is among the largest industrial business parks to launch in the entire US. The partnership will invest over $1 billion in developing the park. Construction is commencing in November on the first speculative building totaling 506,930 square feet in size, and expandable to 1 msf. The remainder of the project is being developed in phases at future dates yet to be determined.

“We are thrilled to be officially commencing construction on this large-scale, rail served, Class A business park along with the special partnership we have established with The Romney Group,” said, Chad Meyer, President, NorthPoint Development. “Lakeview Business Park offers a great location for tremendous success with the ability to serve any industrial client in terms of size and labor for many years to come. The area boasts a strong local workforce and with nearly 80% commuting daily to Salt Lake Valley would now have the opportunity to work closer to home.”

Meyer also highlighted that the property’s strategic Utah location also places it within just a 10-hour drive of half of the US, including all major Western ports.

Josh Romney, President, The Romney Group, said, “Our goal is to create a long-term, jobs rich business park that will be environmentally friendly and generate tax revenue to enhance the lives of the local community, improve public services and provide much needed tax dollars for education. We selected NorthPoint as a partner because of our shared core values and long-term commitment to the communities in which we do business.”

The new Lakeview Business Park is also just a stone’s throw from The Great Salt Lake and is within 30 minutes of both the renovated Salt Lake City International Airport—which recently opened a new concourse as part of its $4.1 billion phased expansion scheduled to be fully completed by 2024—and also the Union Pacific Intermodal Hub. As part of the vision for the development, a +/- 400-acre portion of the property will be rail served. The developer is currently working with Union Pacific and the Utah Inland Port Authority to rehabilitate an existing rail line that routes into the park.

Cushman & Wakefield’s Tom Freeman, SIOR, Executive Director, who is leading brokerage efforts for the project, said, “This project has all of the best ingredients to be a special opportunity for companies seeking a strategic and advantageous location in the greater Intermountain West, while also providing a successful economic driver.”

Freeman continued, “Lakeview Business Park is expected to create over 5,000 permanent jobs at full build-out. With great access to a robust labor pool, close access to Interstate 80 via the area’s newly constructed interchanges, and a large master planned park, a portion of which is rail served, Lakeview Business Park will positively transform the local community and provide unparalleled industrial warehouse, manufacturing and distribution services to the Western US region.”

As the leading national industrial developer, NorthPoint has constructed more industrial square footage than any other developer nationwide in the last five years, based on a recent study done by Real Capital Analytics. NorthPoint’s business portfolio includes 250+ industrial clients who are located in 76.5 million square feet of developed space across the US. Nearly 59,000 jobs and counting have been created in the development and leasing of this portfolio to date.
