Salt Lake City is the economic and cultural hub of the Intermountain West, with a CRE market driven by the Silicon Slopes tech corridor, a major healthcare sector, and its role as a regional financial and transportation center. Downtown's City Creek Center redevelopment and the Granary District's conversion into a creative office and mixed-use neighborhood have revitalized the urban core, while the Point of the Mountain area between Salt Lake City and Provo is slated for a massive mixed-use development on the former state prison site. The I-15 corridor from Ogden through Salt Lake to Provo functions as a continuous commercial spine, with industrial demand concentrated in the West Valley City and Salt Lake City International Airport expansion area. The city's hosting of the 2002 Winter Olympics left a legacy of infrastructure and international visibility that continues to support tourism and convention demand.
