Tri Pointe Homes Unveils Multi-County Expansion With Five New Utah Communities
Tri Pointe Homes, Inc. , one of the nation’s premier homebuilders, has officially entered the Utah housing market with the debut of its first residential community, Polaris at Terraine, located in West Jordan. This milestone launch is just the beginning of the company’s bold expansion strategy in Utah. Tri Pointe has announced plans for a total of five thoughtfully planned residential communities set to open in Salt Lake, Utah, and Wasatch counties over the coming months and years.
This move comes at a pivotal time for the Beehive State. Utah is not only experiencing sustained population and economic growth, but it also holds the distinction of having the best economic outlook in the nation for 18 consecutive years. In 2025, it was also named the overall best state in the U.S., a reflection of its robust job market, quality of life, and proactive planning. The booming housing demand in the region presents a timely opportunity for Tri Pointe Homes to deliver its signature blend of innovation, design-forward construction, and community-minded development to Utah families.
“In the Life-Changing Business”
“At Tri Pointe, we’re in the life-changing business—focusing on the customer is what drives our organization,” said Ken Krivanec, Division President for Tri Pointe Homes Utah and Washington. “Our local team has worked diligently to identify the right locations, design homes with purpose, and reflect the culture and lifestyle that make Utah unique. We understand that homebuyers here are design-conscious, value-driven, and expect a personalized, high-touch experience. That’s what Tri Pointe does best.”
Krivanec emphasized that each community is not merely about building homes—it’s about creating experiences, cultivating connection, and offering a level of service that aligns with the expectations of modern homebuyers. The company’s approach aims to blend local authenticity with the resources and expertise of a nationally recognized homebuilder.
Utah Division: A Strategic Expansion
Tri Pointe Homes officially launched its Utah division in September 2024, establishing its headquarters in Salt Lake City’s dynamic Sugar House neighborhood. This new office serves as the operational base for the company’s growing presence in the region, and it marks the first step in what leadership calls a “long-term investment” in the Utah housing landscape.
In a further commitment to delivering exceptional customer experiences, the company also announced plans to open a state-of-the-art Design Studio in the Sugar House office by 2026. This immersive, hands-on center will offer homebuyers the opportunity to personalize their homes through curated finishes, design features, and technology integrations. The studio will help clients visualize their spaces and tailor each residence to meet their tastes and lifestyle needs.
By combining deep local expertise with a national infrastructure, Tri Pointe is well-positioned to identify unmet market needs, adapt to regional design trends, and maintain construction excellence. The Utah division is staffed with an experienced team of professionals who are already building strong relationships with local stakeholders and aligning project execution with community expectations.
A Look at the Five New Communities
Each of the five communities introduced by Tri Pointe Homes reflects its mission to create high-quality, forward-thinking, and aesthetically resonant homes that complement the surrounding environment and lifestyle.
1. Polaris at Terraine – West Jordan
The company’s first Utah community, Polaris at Terraine, is nestled in the foothills of the Oquirrh Mountains and will include 32 single-family homes. These residences range up to 3,400 square feet, including finished basements, and feature 3-4 bedrooms with modern farmhouse-style architecture.
What sets this neighborhood apart is its thoughtful integration into the landscape. Located within a master-planned community that emphasizes nature, Polaris at Terraine offers close proximity to hiking trails, open vistas, and an easy commute to downtown Salt Lake City. Sales for this community are expected to begin on August 2, 2025.
2. The Crossings at Lake Creek – Heber City
The Crossings at Lake Creek in scenic Heber City is planned to consist of 139 single-family homes. With floorplans reaching up to 5,000 square feet (including finished basements), these homes will offer up to eight bedrooms and showcase a blend of elevated farmhouse and cottage-style designs.
This community will be rich in amenities, including a future clubhouse, pool, pickleball courts, a fishing pond, and more than 67 acres of open space and walking trails. Its location provides a serene mountain-town lifestyle with convenient commuting distance to Salt Lake City, Provo, and Park City, and is just under 30 minutes from Deer Valley’s world-class ski slopes. Home sales are projected to begin in August 2025.
3 & 4. Aspire and Pavilions at Holladay Hills – Holladay
Aspire at Holladay Hills and Pavilions at Holladay Hills are two connected yet distinct new neighborhoods located in one of the most walkable and sought-after areas of Utah. Aspire will consist of 57 townhomes that offer refined urban living just minutes from city amenities, nightlife, and dining.
Meanwhile, Pavilions will feature six ultra-luxury estate homes that offer unique architectural designs and bespoke living experiences. Notably, Emmy-winning interior design expert and TV host Bobby Berk has partnered with Tri Pointe Homes to design and furnish all model homes at Holladay Hills. His personalized, curated interiors aim to reflect functionality, beauty, and character, ensuring each model is not just a showcase—but an inspiration. These communities are expected to go on sale in early 2026.
5. Canyon Park – Orem
Rounding out the expansion is Canyon Park, located in Orem. This community will feature 79 homes with sizes up to 4,100 square feet. What makes Canyon Park particularly noteworthy is its location: the site is a redevelopment of the historic WordPerfect campus on Orem’s East Bench.
With walkable access to scenic foothills and a 20-minute drive to Sundance’s cultural and recreational attractions, Canyon Park is being designed with intentionality and craftsmanship. The development offers a rare opportunity to create a neighborhood from the ground up in one of Utah County’s most established communities. The community is planned to launch in early 2026.
Technology and Personalization: The Tri Pointe Difference
Across all five communities, Tri Pointe Homes will deliver its HomeSmart® technology suite as a standard feature. This package includes intelligent home integrations such as video doorbells, WiFi-enabled locks, smart thermostats, and connected lighting systems—designed to offer convenience, security, and energy efficiency.
Additionally, homeowners can customize their living spaces through curated design packages and extensive personalization options available through the upcoming Design Studio. Whether it’s selecting flooring, cabinetry, fixtures, or tech features, Tri Pointe’s homebuyers will be empowered to craft homes that align with their individual preferences and lifestyles.
