Daybreak Communities
Framed by mountains, divided by a
major highway and anchored by a light
rail stop that connects the community
with downtown Salt Lake City, Daybreak
demonstrates the best place-making
in the nation. A thoughtful integrated
community design framework considers
the people who'll live here and their
desire for an open, engaging life. Diverse
product from 900sf to 7,000sf+ both
for rent and for sale are woven into a
tapestry of community pride, served
by 30+ miles of trails and lakes, and a
vibrant and sustainable neighborhood
town center featuring restaurants, bars,
shops and places to gather, including the
community amphitheater that comes alive
with summer evening concerts. Health
and wellness are just a normal part of life
here – walking trails connect the un-gated
neighborhoods and circle the lake, and the
community is home to an on-site medical
center with 24/7 ER facilities. On 4,100
acres, Daybreak has for years been quietly
and confidently defining what community
means, and continues to inspire others to
take place-making to new heights.
