South Herriman Development
Overview
Herriman’s southern hillside will be developed with a combination of housing, commercial spaces, parks, and infrastructure improvements. The area is privately owned and is being developed under several master development agreements (MDAs) negotiated with the City to ensure a balance of residential and commercial growth while preserving open space and improving connectivity. The hillside includes three major developments: Rosecrest, Panorama, and South Hills.
These agreements, approved in November 2024, update many entitlements originally approved over a decade ago. The updates provide infrastructure improvements, coordinated land use planning, a mix of housing, and a concentration of commercial space near major intersections. They also ensure that roadways and utilities are constructed before homes are built.
Key Features
Roads
- Juniper Crest Road extension: This major roadway will extend from its current eastern endpoint to connect with Mountain View Corridor. The extension is expected to be built by the end of 2025.
- Landscaping along Juniper Crest Road: The developer has committed to fund and complete off-site landscaping improvements along Juniper Crest Road (between Juniper Trail Drive and the eastern endpoint) by the end of 2026.
- Proactive infrastructure completion: Due to a relatively new financing mechanism called a public infrastructure district, roads, water lines, and other essential infrastructure will be built before homes to prevent long delays in connectivity and access.
Housing
- A mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and apartment units will be constructed.
- Higher-density housing will be concentrated near major roads like Mountain View Corridor to improve accessibility.
- Lower-density housing will be placed further into the hillside with a smooth transition from smaller lots to larger lots.
- Previous approvals allowed for higher densities of housing spread across the hillside; updated agreements have concentrated density along major corridors while preserving more space for single-family housing.
Commercial centers
- Around 30 acres of commercial development will be placed at the major intersections of Juniper Crest Road and Academy Parkway at Mountain View Corridor.
- Additional smaller commercial areas will be located near Real Vista Drive and Academy Parkway.
- These locations will provide visibility and access to support businesses. Visibility is expected to increase when the Mountain View Corridor freeway section is constructed around the end of the decade.
- Commercial development acreage has increased compared to earlier plans.
Parks and open space
- Panorama Park: A major public park will be built as part of the development and is set for completion by the end of 2028.
- A trail system will link different neighborhoods and connect to existing trails.
- Some natural open spaces on the hillside will be preserved.
Schools
- The Jordan School District owns a parcel of land within the Panorama development near the Panorama Park site. A future elementary school is anticipated for this location.
Coordination with Camp Williams
- Homes within designated high-noise areas will be built with increased noise insulation, and homebuyers must be notified of proximity to the military training site.
