Salt Lake City closed out 2025 with its highest delivery volume in a decade, completing 9,430 units, equal to 6.7% of existing stock and 350 basis points above the national pace. The effect carried into early 2026, with average asking rents down 0.4% on a trailing three-month basis through February to $1,525. Occupancy in stabilized assets held at 94.7% as of February, up 10 basis points year-over-year, a sign that demand is absorbing inventory. Employment grew 1.4% through year-end 2025, outpacing the national rate, with 19,300 jobs added and unemployment at just 3.4% in December. Investment volume reached $641 million in 2025, outperforming the prior two years, and a planned Western Governors University campus redevelopment is projected to generate more than 5,000 jobs and $2.5 billion in capital expenditure over the next two decades.
