The Yard at Mark Steel

The Yard at Mark Steel reimagines an aging steel foundry site into a community of 170 townhomes, addressing the pressing need for housing within 2 miles of downtown Salt Lake City. This innovative project serves as a model for responsible industrial redevelopment by incorporating environmental stewardship, including restoring 600 linear feet of riverfront and creating a diverse urban canopy. The development strategically integrates with existing mobility infrastructure and prioritizes pedestrian-oriented design, fostering walkability and community engagement. By preserving visual and material ties to the site’s industrial past and providing new publicly-accessible amenities, The Yard not only enhances the region’s ecological and social fabric but also sets a precedent for sustainable urban development in the area.
