Mayor Dawn Ramsey was joined by developer Clark Ivory of Ivory Innovations, Nate Boyer of the Boyer Company and members of the South Jordan City Council at the announcement.
“Today marks a milestone that’s been a long time coming,” the mayor said. “For years our seniors have told us one thing loud and clear–we need a dedicated space just for us.”

She then unveiled plans for a 17,000 square foot Senior Center, purpose-built with activity rooms, art and fitness spaces, and a commercial kitchen. It will be built at The District, and will include 200 senior living spaces, 75% or more that will meet affordable housing guidelines, “so our residents can continue to call South Jordan home,” Ramsey said.
She continued by saying the location near The District means seniors will be near groceries, medical services, banking, restaurants, shopping and entertainment. The announced location was applauded by dozens of senior citizens who were at the event and enjoying their lunches.
In a city release, the project says it represents a strong partnership between the city of South Jordan, Ivory Innovations, Call to Action and The Boyer Company. The city says it has worked closely with anchor tenants at The District, including Target and J.C. Penney.
“South Jordan seniors deserve a place to connect, learn and thrive, and we’re thrilled to bring them that vision of life at The District,” Ramsey said. “This project reflects our community’s values and the city’s commitment to listening to residents while strengthening partnerships that benefit everyone.”
City Councilmember Don Shelton, who is liaison to the Senior Advisory Committee, said in a release that “This new Senior Center is the result of thoughtful planning and collaboration. It will not only provide a much-needed gathering place for our seniors, but also expand affordable housing options, ensuring that more residents can continue to call South Jordan home.”
No formal date for groundbreaking or construction timeline has been released, but officials said information and updates will be available on the city’s website at www.sjc.utah.gov in the coming weeks.
