Sometimes in life you have amazing foresight and insight. And then other times you’re just lucky. This is one of those cases where we are just lucky. I’ll gratefully accept luck when it happens to benefit us. In fact we have no choice. We have have to accept unlucky bounces as well. 

This week there was an announcement of a major new nuclear power installation for Brigham City Utah. This suburb of Salt Lake City has a population of about 20,000. We know this area well because we have a 21 acre project currently under development just off the I-15 interchange and across the street from the Walmart SuperCenter. Our project consists of a Marriott Townplace Suites Hotel, 104 townhouses and 60,000 SF of flex industrial. The nuclear project will consist of an array of 4-10 small modular nuclear reactors with the first one being delivered in the early 2030’s. 

The country has finally woken up to the notion that the US will need a vast increase in the amount of electricity generation capacity. 

The area around Salt Lake City could be a candidate for data centres and manufacturing, were it not for the fact that the area has insufficient power to sustain the growth.
