The Power District on the west side of Salt Lake City celebrated a major milestone today with the groundbreaking of Rocky Mountain Power’s new 10-story, 300,000-square-foot corporate headquarters, the first building in the district’s 100+ acre mixed-use master plan. Designed by SOM, the all-electric campus draws inspiration from the historic Gadsby Power Plant, translating the district’s industrial past into a modern, efficient, and human-centered workplace.

Purpose-built for Rocky Mountain Power, the building features flexible, high-performance workspaces, outdoor terraces, and thoughtfully articulated exterior forms that establish a distinctive presence on the skyline. Its design responds to the company’s culture, workforce, and role in the community, creating a workplace that is both a landmark and a catalyst for The Power District. Once complete, the headquarters will anchor a vibrant new neighborhood, integrating office, housing, retail all connected to riverfront enhancements and an improved Jordan River Trail.
