Eighteen miles south of Salt Lake City, Utah, in the suburb of South Jordan, Kennecott Land is building Daybreak, a 20,000-home planned community. When it’s completed, Daybreak will be the largest planned community in Utah, and one of the largest in the nation. It will extend twenty miles from South Jordan to the Great Salt Lake, stretching over 4200 acres of “surplus mining land”—formerly mining tailings and settling ponds—bought throughout the 1900s by Kennecott Land’s much older sister company, Kennecott Copper. Seven thousand homes comprising “Village One,” the first phase of Daybreak’s 70-year master plan, were completed in 2005; a second, equally sized “village” is currently under construction.
