anTrust Real Estate has acquired a 32-acre site in West Valley City, Utah, to build four industrial warehouse buildings. The location offers easy access to the "Crossroads of America," a network of interstates, highways, and rail lines that converge near Salt Lake City.

    The site is situated just south of State Route 201 and west of Mountain View Corridor, with proximity to the Salt Lake City International Airport, Interstate 80, Interstate 15, and the Union Pacific Railroad intermodal hub. This prime location will accommodate four buildings providing 600,000 square feet of new Class A industrial space.

    According to Tom Freeman and Travis Healy of Colliers, the leasing team hired by VanTrust, there is consistent demand for space in this area due to its strategic position in the Salt Lake Valley and strong economy. Chris McCluskey, Executive Vice President of Development for Salt Lake City at VanTrust, said, "We are thrilled to have acquired this advantageously located site on which to build new industrial warehouses."

    Construction on the first two buildings is expected to start in late spring 2025 and deliver in late spring 2026. Specific tenants have not yet been identified. VanTrust has experienced rapid growth since its inception in 2010, developing over 68 million square feet of real estate assets nationwide.

    VanTrust Real Estate is a full-service development company based in Kansas City with regional offices across the US.
