Real Estate and Construction Update

Holidays are here, weather is cooling down, and things are STILL popping up left and right. This is absolutely my favorite time of year, and I’m excited to share what’s going on this month. Also, if you have a client or know somebody looking to buy or sell a property, we’d love to help them get it closed. Send them our way and we’ll make sure they’re taken care of.

Enjoy!

New Happenings

St. George:

  • Desert Color update- the first phase of residential homes will begin being built out at the beginning of 2019. There are builders that have signed on, although I do not have any names at this point. It sounds like they will have model homes going very shortly! Will be interesting to see that start to develop over the next few months.

  • Kenworth Trucking Company- the plat map was recorded last month and dirt is being moved for their new facility off exit 2. It’ll be just east of the Paparazzi building along the freeway, north of the overpass.

  • Rose Development- New signs are up next to Summit on River Rd! New restaurants, hotels, and possibly even a movie theater, along with high end retail and office space should start happening soon!

  • Dixie Red Hills Golf Course- big news for one of the best golf courses in the city! A new clubhouse will be built right next to the old one and it looks like it’ll be AMAZING. Construction will begin November 12th and should be finished in May. Check out this article for more info and pictures of what it’ll look like. http://www.stgeorgeutah.com/news/archive/2018/10/12/jcw-construction-to-begin-on-long-sought-clubhouse-upgrade-at-dixie-red-hills-golf-course/#.W9clJ2hKiUl

  • SWIG! A new location is going in at Dinosaur Crossing next to Rodworks. I imagine this will be a big hit for everybody out in the fields. Construction should begin soon!

  • Bonza Dry Cleaners- the newest addition to Dinosaur Crossing in between Great Clips and Stone Canyon Eye Care is now open!  

  • Panda Express- the new location in Dinosaur Crossing is just about finished and should be open sometime this month!

  • Bike Park- the bike park in front of Snow Canyon High is just about finished and the grand opening is November 17th at 11! This will be huge for the mountain biking community and will be lots of fun. Make sure to check it out!

  • Youth Futures Homeless Shelter- really cool new place to help the youth here in Southern Utah. Check our their website for more info http://www.youthfuturesutah.org/index.php

  • Red Fort Cuisine of India- I posted this last month but if you haven’t been and you love Indian food, it is absolutely incredible. It’s in the old Iggy’s building down from Olive Garden.

  • Fort Pearce Industrial- Barney Trucking Facility and Martin Warehousing cold storage facility are now both complete. The 99-unit mini-storage facility construction is just underway, and Swiss Bank Storage is adding 120 storage units to their facility as well.

Washington:

  • Dollar Tree- construction is underway in the Kohl’s shopping complex. It is on the end of the building next to Downeast outfitters. Should be finished in the first quarter of 2019!

  • LDS Temple- It was announced last month that Washington County will be getting a new LDS temple! I’m putting this in this section because it’s what MY guess is for where it’s going, but it is still unknown where exactly it will be. I’ve been hearing rumors but nothing confirmed yet.

Santa Clara/Ivins:

  • The Edge- a huge resort is starting to come together out in the South Hills of Santa Clara that will be a travelers dream. It’ll have direct access to trails for all kinds of machines, a spa, a lazy river, and tons more cool amenities. Click this link for more info http://the-edge-utah.com/

Hurricane:

  • 24/7 Fitness- under construction on the south side of State Street in Hurricane, across the street from the new Clarion Hotel.

Road projects: I get asked quite a bit about road projects happening so I’ve decided to include a section below regarding these. It’s right above the Dixie State University section.

  • Sunset Blvd/Bluff St project- construction is nearing the end and it is looking AWESOME. Check out the link below for the Bluff Street Corridor project schedule, map, and video of what it will look like in the end. It is going to be nice once it’s all done!

  • SR-7 completion- the project is currently in the design and right-of-way phase, and on schedule to start construction in the summer of 2019 and finish by November 2020.

  • Northern Corridor- A road going from exit 13 in Washington to the backside of Red Hills Parkway has been proposed. The county commissioner is currently working on the new HCP permit with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and there are incentives to finish the road before 2025. This is more of a long term thing to watch for, but it will definitely have a big impact on our infrastructure when it does happen.

Dixie State:

  • News has come out that DSU is looking to make the transition to Division 1! This would make a HUGE impact for the school, as all as the community. Here is an article with more good information on it https://www.thespectrum.com/story/sports/college/dixie-state/2018/10/30/dsu-closing-division-move/1822468002/
