The grand vision for the 600-acre project, called The Point, came into sharper focus on Tuesday when the Point of the Mountain State Land Authority board voted unanimously to approve a new “framework,” which gives the most detail so far for the land’s future.

Its visionaries are calling it Utah’s first “15-minute city” from scratch — a master planned “complete community” containing everything a person needs to live and thrive within a 15-minute walk from its heart. The plans detail a “vibrant mix” of retail, entertainment, schools, high-quality workplaces, restaurants and recreation — all within its bounds.

The Point is envisioned as a “model live-work community,” the plans state, with about 40% of its developable land devoted to housing, or an estimated 7,400 residential units. The rest would be for offices, retail, mixed uses, and an “innovation center” with a focus on schools, education and business development.
