Ground Broken on 96 Affordable Homes in Salt Lake City's Ballpark Neighborhood, Completion Expected February 2028
SALT LAKE CITY — Salt Lake City is a city in Salt Lake County, Utah. Salt Lake City and Chelsea Investment Corporation have broken ground on Camden Court, a 96-unit affordable housing development at 1283 S. 400 W. in the Ballpark neighborhood, according to a September 8 announcement on the city's official website, slc.gov.
The seven-story development will provide 96 income-restricted apartments for households earning 60% of area median income or less, with a family-oriented mix of 36 one-bedroom, 48 two-bedroom, and 12 three-bedroom homes. 'Families shouldn't have to leave Salt Lake City to find a home with enough room to grow,' said Mayor Erin Mendenhall. 'By adding more affordable two- and three-bedroom apartments, Camden Court will give families more choices to stay here and remain connected to everything the Ballpark neighborhood and our city have to offer.'
The Salt Lake City Community Reinvestment Agency (CRA) approved a $750,000 low-interest loan for the project in 2025, an investment the city says supports building affordable homes near transit, jobs, and everyday needs. 'Camden Court will create a place where families can put down roots, build stability, and thrive while strengthening the surrounding community,' said Charles Schmid, CEO of Chelsea Investment Corporation.
The development will include outdoor community gathering spaces, a dedicated after-school room for homework and tutoring, and secure bicycle storage with a workbench and tools for bike repairs. It sits about a quarter-mile from the Ballpark TRAX station, near bus service, bike lanes, and dedicated bicycle corridors.
ELEV8 Architecture is the project architect and JN Beach Construction is the general contractor. Construction is expected to be complete in February 2028.
