The Larry H. Miller Company recently broke ground on a new, privately funded ballpark for the Salt Lake Bees (Bees), the Triple-A affiliate of the Los Angeles Angels located within Downtown Daybreak in South Jordan, Utah.
Additionally, the Bees announced America First Credit Union (AFCU) as the exclusive naming rights partner for the ballpark and nearby sports and entertainment plaza, as well as a finance and lending partner for Downtown Daybreak and other Larry H. Miller Real Estate projects.
Downtown Daybreak was envisioned over 20 years ago when the master-planned community originated. Larry H. Miller Real Estate and the City of South Jordan are collaborating to create a model of healthy, connected and inclusive growth while focusing on traffic, air quality, water conservation and housing diversity. Downtown Daybreak is a large-scale, multi-year project. Major elements are planned to be completed as early as 2025. The overall approach to phasing will help create the feel of a finished place at each step of progress over the next 15-plus years.
“The City of South Jordan is proud to welcome Downtown Daybreak to the fastest-growing area within Salt Lake County,” said South Jordan Mayor Dawn Ramsey. “This mixed-use urban center is a regional destination for families, jobs, housing, sports and entertainment, dining and retail, and outdoor recreation. We are excited to welcome our community and friends to join the experience.”
The location of Phase 1, which includes the new privately funded ballpark for the Salt Lake Bees, will be built between Mountain View Corridor and Grandville Avenue / Lake Avenue and Big Sur Drive.
The new ballpark, with capacity for 7,500 fans, will offer a range of tickets from open-lawn seating to expanded premium, club and field-level seating where fans are closer to home plate than the pitcher; a variety of local, tasty food and beverage options for every wallet; event spaces; family-friendly gathering areas and a new alcohol-free zone; year-round programming and activities; an easily accessible team store; and picturesque views of the Wasatch Mountains. Located along Mountain View Corridor and a planned UTA Red Line TRAX Station, the ballpark is easily accessible for fans across the Wasatch Front, and walkable and bikeable for those who live within the 4,100-acre master-planned community of Daybreak. Fans may purchase season tickets by calling or texting (801) 325-BEES (2337), emailing tickets@slbees.com, or visiting beesballpark.com.
Phase 1 of Downtown Daybreak also includes a new concept by Larry H. Miller Megaplex Entertainment that will offer eight to 10 new screens with 100-percent luxury seating; 16 to 20 luxury bowling lanes with laneside dining; dozens of state-of-the-art arcade games; and a sports-themed lounge with access to an in-house chef and scratch kitchen; as well as private dining, entertainment, party, and event space. The cinema-entertainment center (CEC) will be near the new, privately funded Salt Lake Bees ballpark, where both facilities will serve as sports and entertainment anchors within the urban center. Construction will begin this fall.
Downtown Daybreak is emerging as a diverse urban ecosystem. A mix of office, retail and residential centered around sports and entertainment, linked to the Salt Lake Valley by light rail and interwoven with a string of outdoor urban spaces, Downtown Daybreak adds up to a thriving habitat that will benefit Utah families and businesses for generations.
