DOWNTOWN OGDEN
“Live, Shop, Work and Play”
Downtown Ogden Utah is experiencing what many are calling a “Renaissance of economic reinvestment and culture resurgence as the central gathering place for the northern Utah region.” With the development that has already occurred, downtown Ogden is indeed becoming the gathering place for northern Utah. The Junction development has already attracted thousands of people from all over northern Utah and is becoming a gathering place for entertainment, dinning, shopping, recreation and living. When the Junction is completed it will have approximately 400 residential housing units, 2 office buildings, a number of restaurants, movie theaters, a hotel, shopping, a children’s museum, plenty of parking and Utah’s most attractive recreation center, the Solomon Center. The Solomon Center provides dinning, bowling, arcades, and indoor rock climbing, sky diving and surfing. The new Gold’s Gym is also located in the Solomon Center.
The foot traffic counts for this area have exceeded all expectation and will continue to grow as development at The Junction and surrounding areas are completed. Attached you will find a list of the projected number of visitors to The Junction and the surrounding areas.
