 SunCrest Area Land – What’s the latest?

There’s a lot of hubbub regarding the future of SunCrest right now. As many know, the original SunCrest developer declared bankruptcy, a few potential purchases didn’t materialize, and Draper City was able to purchase about 2,400 acres for $5.6M exactly 4 years ago. This, along with the failed development, effectively nixed the original master plan that had been approved, and has given the City an opportunity to set forth their own vision for the area.

In 2015, Draper City put the wheels in motion to develop an “Open Space Master Plan.” With the help of outside consultants, countless hours of input, open houses, and surveys, this plan was adopted early 2016 to serve as an “open space element of the general plan.”

As part of their overall plan, a few parcels are being sold for development, and Draper City will soon hold another meeting regarding the surplus (sale) of additional SunCrest land. With development on the horizon, we thought we’d take a look at the history of other surplus land, and their status today since being purchased.

1- Mercer Mountain Estates
This ~20 acre parcel neighbors Hidden Canyon Estates and will provide pristine mountain and city views. This particular parcel was used to facilitate a settlement between the City and a private owner.

2-Lakeview Heights
This ~20 acre parcel neighbors the current Maple Hollow subdivision and zoning allows for multiunit density. This too was used to facilitate a settlement between the City and private owner.

3-Blue Bison Development
This ~100 acre parcel was formally put up for sale in 2014 and recently went under contract with Blue Bison Development for likely residential development.

4- December 2016 Surplus Proposal
Draper is currently considering a surplus of an additional 30-40 acres located along the road leading into the Blue Bison Development parcel.

 Our take: 

As more SunCrest land is being sold, open space plans put into place, new trails made, and the Hidden Canyon Estates and Edelweiss subdivisions bring new a wave of new construction not seen since the “boom” of the 2000’s, it’s certainly a busy time up here. Whether you’re new or old to SunCrest, for or against development, an avid outdoor enthusiast or homebody, we encourage voicing your comments, concerns and compliments when change is presented. Collectively, we’re a passionate group and that’s what makes this neighborhood such a unique and diverse community.

1863 E. Chimney Stone Court | The Buck(s) Stop Here

$359,000 | 3,123 sq. ft. | 3 beds | 2.5 baths

For those canvassing the area searching for the perfect place to call home, the buck(s) stop here. Figuratively and literally.

This 2-story sits proudly along the Maple Hollow corridor and is perfect for any outdoor enthusiast extraordinaire. Seriously, there’s not a single house between you and the Maple Hollow trailhead. Mother Nature is a great neighbor in our book.

The inside? Well for starters, check out that bonus room. Our thoughts? It’s perfect for a telecommuter, homeworker, or wildlife watcher – just don’t creep the neighbors with your binoculars.

The rest of the main floor is screaming for you to host this year’s ugly sweater party. The open concept kitchen and family room is huge!

Even your tallest friends can fit under those nine-foot ceilings. The home was recently updated with new stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, carpet, and that oh-so-stylish wood looking tile.

Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and the laundry room provide ample space upstairs, and downstairs is bursting with possibilities (theater room, gym, or a place to create YouTube cat videos).

Pack your things, we’ll see you at the open house.

Draper City Property Surplus | Mercer Hollow Area

After approving a 7.3 million dollar offer from Blue Bison Development on 110 acres of SunCrest area property that was declared surplus (surplus= the city’s way of saying “for sale”), Draper City appears to be looking to sell more SunCrest area land.

After a proposal from the developer at an October business meeting to purchase additional land from the City, Draper City will seek public comment on the matter at the December 6th City Council meeting. Below is an overview of the newly proposed surplus area.

The proposed parcel, along with the 110 acres currently under contract are in the same proximity as the 20-acre parcel known as Mercer Mountain Estaes that was used to facilitate a settlement agreement between a private developer and Draper City.  It’s possible each neighboring development could provide secondary access to each other.

110 SunCrest Surplus
Residents are encouraged to participate by attending the Draper City council on December 6th or by emailing assistant city manager Russell Fox (russell.fox@draper.ut.us)
