SunCrest ShoeBox Proposal
Follow along: Newsletter | Facebook | Instagram
On Monday August 14th from 6:30-7:30PM at the SunCrest Clubhouse, the owners of the ~84 acres known as the “SunCrest Shoebox” parcel located East of Tallwoods and West of Eagle Crest subdivisions in SunCrest will be holding a neighborhood meeting to review their upcoming proposal for the SunCrest area land. There will be a short presentation followed by a question and answer session.
The latest proposal outlines nearly 40% open space, a 7-acre monument park, clubhouse, and pool; in addition to 233 housing units (81 single family, 134 townhomes, 18 townhome/multifamily). Previous proposals for the area included commercial/office space, a school, and storage facility–all of which have now been eliminated.
For those unable to attend, below is a preliminary proposal for the area.
It’s important to note to that these plans are preliminary and are still being reviewed by Draper City. If they property owners decide to pursue this plan, it will still need to go before the Draper City Planning Commission and City Council for approval. This development is not currently apart of the SunCrest HOA and would need to be annexed should they decide to join.

Draper delays 55 acre surplus, planning SunCrest open space
Draper City Council unanimously voted to delay the surplus of 55 acres of SunCrest area land until a definitive conversation easement can be put into place for the greater SunCrest area. The decision comes after receving public input in a crowded public hearing and efforts led by Draper Mayor Troy Walker in exploring a conversation easement with Salt Lake County.

Walker said, “There are a lot of questions that are not answered and I think the public comment has given us a lot of opportunities and avenues to look….conservation easement is something I am very in favor of.”
In addition to the conversation easement and as part of their overall plan for SunCrest open space, the City will look to surplus areas for probable residential development in an effort to help pay off the debt incurred from the original SunCrest purchase. In the coming weeks or months, Draper City will hold meetings regarding the surplus (sale) of additional SunCrest land and a more definitive outline of where a perpetual conversation easement will be.

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.
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)

August SunCrest Market Update
Say hello! Newsletter | Facebook | Instagram
More SunCrest Development?
Draper City recently received a $7.3 million dollar offer from Blue Bison Development on 110 acres of SunCrest area property. Located at approximately 2900 E 16000 S, or just east of the Mercer Hollow subdivision on the Utah County side, this area was declared surplus a few years back (the city’s way of saying “for sale”) and appears to have found a buyer.
The potential development would be accessed from a new road off of SunCrest Drive. It does lie within the Traverse Ridge Special Service District (TRSSD) which would be in charge of maintenance costs if the road is public, and the developer would be in charge of any easements and future connections or subdivision needs. This parcel neighbors ~365 acres known as Alpine Joint Ventures that will also likely be developed.
Our take:
Since Draper City’s $5.3 million dollar purchase of nearly 2,400 acres at the end of 2012, almost 200 of those acres appear to be heading towards residential development. This parcel, along with Hidden Canyon Estates and Edelweiss, may have you wondering, “How will new construction impact my home’s value?” New development in any community presents more choices for buyers and sellers. Depending on the size, style, and lot size, new homes can bring new competition to existing SunCrest homes when it comes time to sell, but they will also bring a lot more people up the hill who are interested in buying in SunCrest new construction isn’t for everyone. Working with a team to help position yourself to stand out in a bigger (and newer) crowd, however, will become even more important for any SunCrest homeowner looking to sell.

Edelweiss preliminary plat
Edelweiss Development
After unanimously passing the planning commission, Draper City Council will review a new preliminary plat proposal for the Edelweiss subdivision 7 PM, August 16th, at 1020 East Pioneer Road. This 171 lot, 61 acre subdivision is located north and east of the existing Stoneleigh Heights townhomes.
Edelweiss Preliminary Plat Map
Draper City approved a preliminary plat last year but due to geologic hazards on the north-west portion of the property, the applicant had made changes to to their plat. Most notably:
- Eliminating the connection from Stoneleigh Heights Drive.
- Eliminating townhomes from their subdivision.
- Reconfiguration of the cottage and estate lots.

March SunCrest Market Update
Hidden Canyon Estates – Coming Soon!
Get ready for some new neighbors in our mountaintop community — Hidden Canyon Estates is coming soon (Don’t miss a beat— sign up for development updates here). This development sits on approximately 103 acres located east of SunCrest Drive.
What To Expect
Currently, the development is approved for a maximum of 300 single-family homes, each with a minimum 7,500sq/ft (.17-acre) lot. Since there is only one access point off of SunCrest Drive right now, they will be limited to 50 homes until a second access point is built.
This parcel and 2 other parcels were part of a settlement agreement between the existing property owner and Edge homes in 2014. The preliminary plat passed the Draper City Planning Commission is headed to City Council for approval. Upon approval from the Council, the subdivision will include nine phases—the first eight by Edge Homes, and the final phase by the original property owner. View the full plats below.
And What About…?
SunCrest HOA: As of this writing, it’s unclear if they will join the SunCrest HOA.
Open Space: The plat includes two parcels of open space. A .31 acre parcel in Phase 1, and a second .18 parcel next to the city’s existing detention basin.
Parks and Trails: $500,000 will be given to Draper City and be used in the first or second phase trail and trailhead improvements
Traverse Ridge Special Service District: Any subdivision on the property will be a part the Traverse Ridge Special Service District.
Our take:
You may be wondering, “How will new construction impact my home’s value?” New development in any community presents more choices for buyers and sellers. Depending on the size, style, and lot size, new homes can bring new competition to finished homes when it comes time to sell, but they will also bring a lot more people up the hill who are interested in buying in SunCrest. Buyers and sellers all have different goals, timing, and lifestyles that make each experience unique. Finished basements, full mature landscaping, established neighborhoods, and different scenery are all strong features of homes already built, so we expect to see existing home sales remain strong, even with new development looming. Working with a team to help position yourself to stand out in a bigger (and newer) crowd, however, will become even more important for any SunCrest homeowner looking to sell.
