North Farmington Station is the largest mixed-use development in Davis County history — a $220M transit-oriented community with 1,200+ residential units, 400,000 sq ft of commercial space, and direct FrontRunner access.
The term 'transformative' gets overused in real estate development. But for North Farmington Station, it is the only accurate word. When CenterCal Properties and Woodbury Corporation broke ground on this 550-acre master-planned community, they weren't just building apartments and retail — they were rewriting Farmington's identity from bedroom suburb to urban destination.
The project's defining feature is its relationship to the FrontRunner commuter rail station. Unlike most Utah suburban developments that treat transit as an afterthought, North Farmington Station is built around the train. The residential buildings are positioned so that residents can walk to the platform in under five minutes. The retail and restaurant space faces the station plaza. The office component is marketed specifically to employers who want to offer their employees a car-free commute option. This is transit-oriented development done correctly — and it is extraordinarily rare in Utah.
Phase 1, delivering in 2026, will add 400 apartment units to a market that has seen vacancy rates below 3% for three consecutive years. The unit mix — studios through three-bedrooms — is deliberately broad, targeting everyone from recent college graduates to empty-nesters downsizing from large Farmington homes. CenterCal's leasing team has confirmed that pre-leasing interest has exceeded projections by 40%, with a waitlist already forming for the premium units with FrontRunner views.
The commercial component of Phase 1 is equally significant. The 80,000 sq ft of ground-floor retail and restaurant space is being positioned as a 'curated food and experience district' — a deliberate contrast to the big-box retail of Station Park. Early tenant conversations, confirmed by multiple sources close to the project, include a regional craft brewery, a specialty food hall with 8–10 vendor stalls, a boutique fitness studio, and a co-working space. If these tenants materialize, North Farmington Station will offer a dining and entertainment experience with no parallel in Davis County.
The long-term vision — 1,200 residential units, 400,000 sq ft of commercial space, a 150-room hotel, and a 2-acre central plaza — represents a $220M bet that Farmington is ready to grow up. Based on the pre-leasing numbers, the market agrees.
North Farmington Station is designed as a true 'live-work-play' community, with residential towers, ground-floor retail, Class A office space, and a hotel all within walking distance of the FrontRunner commuter rail station.
Phase 1 (2026) delivers 400 apartment units across two residential buildings, 80,000 sq ft of retail and restaurant space, and a 500-stall parking structure.
The development's retail component is specifically designed to complement Station Park, targeting experiential tenants — fitness studios, specialty food halls, and entertainment concepts.
Office component includes 200,000 sq ft of Class A space targeting tech and professional services firms seeking a suburban Salt Lake City location with transit access.
The full build-out by 2029 will add a 150-room boutique hotel, an additional 800 residential units, and a 2-acre central plaza with year-round programming.

Transit-oriented developments consistently command a 10–20% price premium over comparable non-transit-adjacent properties in the Mountain West. For North Farmington Station, the combination of FrontRunner access, walkable amenities, and new construction quality positions these units at the top of the Farmington market. Comparable transit-oriented projects in Draper (Station Park) and South Jordan (Daybreak) have seen sustained appreciation of 12–18% in the first five years post-opening.
North Farmington Station will fundamentally change the character of west Farmington. The addition of 1,200+ residential units will bring an estimated 2,500–3,000 new residents to the corridor, creating the density needed to support a vibrant retail and restaurant scene. The central plaza, programmed with farmers markets, concerts, and community events, will become the social heart of a neighborhood that didn't exist five years ago.
CenterCal Properties is one of the most active mixed-use developers in the western United States, with a portfolio that includes Station Park (Farmington), The Meadows (Castle Rock, CO), and Bridgeport Village (Lake Oswego, OR). Woodbury Corporation, a Salt Lake City-based developer with 60+ years in Utah real estate, is leading the residential component. Together, they represent over $4 billion in combined development experience — making this the most credentialed development team ever assembled for a Farmington project.
