Why Salt Lake City

In recent years, Salt Lake City has seen staggering population growth. The Salt Lake City valley is well-positioned to provide economic stability, cultural diversity, and world-class outdoor recreation to people looking to relocate from larger western metropolitan cities. With this influx of residents, Salt Lake City and the greater metropolitan area have a continuous need for housing. Henderson Development has the unique opportunity to capitalize on these growing needs by planning and building housing for residents to live, work, and play.
