Six Ridge seeks 50,000 more square feet for Kimball Junction project
Six Ridge wants 50,000 more square feet in Kimball Junction, including space for the Kimball Art Center beside the county’s new library site.
Six Ridge Partners is asking Summit County for another 50,000 square feet in its Kimball Junction project, and 30,000 of those square feet would go to the Kimball Art Center next to the county’s former Skullcandy headquarters. The request would place the nonprofit west of the building Summit County bought for $17.5 million and plans to turn into a library and other public services, tightening the civic footprint around one of the county’s most contested growth areas.
The change would run through County Manager Shayne Scott, who has authority to amend the development agreement under Utah’s Senate Bill 26. Summit County approved the Dakota Pacific agreement on July 28, 2025, clearing a roughly 59-acre mixed-use project in western Kimball Junction that has been described as including about 885 housing units, with about half reserved for workforce housing. Six Ridge is the renamed entity formerly known as Dakota Pacific.
The new request matters because it would add another layer of public-facing uses to a project still being shaped around housing, transportation and commercial space. County officials have already said the former Skullcandy building will house a library branch, DMV operations, County Council meeting space, conference rooms and other public-facing programs. Summit County also approved a $4.2 million renovation contract for the building’s bottom floor, with the ground floor targeted to open before the end of 2026.
The Kimball Art Center has been moving toward Kimball Junction since signing a letter of intent in 2025 for a permanent headquarters on a 1.6-acre site adjacent to the former Skullcandy building, ending its earlier Bonanza Park plan in Park City. Preliminary plans call for a new facility of more than 15,000 square feet, nearly twice the size of its current building. Putting that use beside the county’s own civic investment would create a stronger public cluster in Kimball Junction, but it also raises the same question that has followed the project from the start: how much community value should be bundled into a private development, and at what cost to timing, approvals and the county’s negotiating position.
