Once government owned land with drainage and slope challenges, the property at 6200 South and
3000 East has finally moved forward toward development. The Canyon Slope Square will house a hotel, a retail
component and a ski shop that is set to open Oct. 6. - www.cottonwoodholladayjournal.com
After three long years of clearing hurdles from several different government entities, developers have finally
broken ground on Canyon Slope Square, 6200 South and 3000 East. It is a welcome sign to Holladay city officials
who have advocated the development of this land from the beginning.
The parcel, once owned by the federal government and once having a county road running through it, had many
easements to work through and water and sewer lines that had to be removed.
“We are excited to see this developed,” Councilmember Jim Palmer said. “It was a federally owned piece of land that
didn’t generate any income, but the new development will bring sales tax to the city, hotel occupancy tax to the city
and county and tax for the Granite School District. It benefits everybody in the community.”
The first phase of the project to be completed will be the Wasatch Deep Powder House Ski Shop which will open Oct. 6.
Part of a family business that started in 1953, the new ski shop will be the fourth in the family of Deep Powder House
shops. Owner Peter Huber has a grand opening sale planned for Oct. 6 and 7 that he hopes will kick the new location off
to a positive start.
“The new construction will be the first stand-alone ski shop that has been built in the Salt Lake valley in the past 40
years,” Huber said. “Our shop will have a state-of-the-art robotic tuner, live web-cams at the local four ski resorts
and the highest tech equipment out there.”
Building simultaneously to the east and west of the ski shop is the rest of the Canyon Slope Square development. The
retail portion of the development to the east of the ski shop is being developed by Synergy Development. Currently
securing lessees, developers hope to begin tenant construction in December.
Canyon Slope Square - West Building
Sequoia Developer Kevin Ludlow secured Hyatt Place Hotel to build a 124 room hotel that will bring 3,000 square feet
of meeting space to the south end of the valley. It is expected to open in the spring of 2013.
Ludlow had his doubts about the property, as so many other developers tried and failed to overcome the many obstacles
in the way of construction.
“It has been a tough property. We have had our share of challenges, but we figured out a way to make it happen and
we are glad we did,” Ludlow said. “Our goal is to bring people to Utah and get them closer to the resorts and closer to
Utah life.”
Ludlow said he is excited to be developing in Holladay and was very complimentary about dealing with Holladay city
leaders.
“I have worked with a lot of jurisdictions over the years and Holladay city leaders are at the top,” Ludlow said. “The
mayor, the city council and the planning commission have been interested, helpful and problem solvers every step of
the way. They are hard workers committed to Holladay City and do their best to do what’s best for the community.”
