Mill Creek Residential's Groundbreaking of Modera Marmalade

On March 11, 2025, Mill Creek Residential, a notable developer and manager of premier rental housing across the United States, proudly announced the groundbreaking of Modera Marmalade in the vibrant 4th West/Marmalade District of Downtown Salt Lake City. This modern midrise community will mark Mill Creek's inaugural development in Utah, featuring a total of 359 homes designed to harmonize with the surrounding landscape.

A Unique Living Experience

The Modera Marmalade community is set to offer breathtaking views of the Wasatch Mountains and the Great Salt Lake, with the iconic Oquirrh Mountains providing a stunning backdrop to the west. Mill Creek anticipates the first move-ins will begin in February 2027, providing future residents with a contemporary living experience.

Tyler Greene, Managing Director of Development in Salt Lake City for Mill Creek Residential, expressed excitement about the new project. He stated, “We’re thrilled for the opportunity to join the Salt Lake City market, and we believe Modera Marmalade will be an outstanding representation as our first community in the state.” Greene emphasized the increasing popularity of the Marmalade District, partly due to recent successful residential developments that are addressing the growing housing demand in this emerging neighborhood.

Prime Location and Connectivity

Strategically located at 472 West 400 North, Modera Marmalade is conveniently situated just three blocks away from the downtown hub for Front Runner Commuter Rail and TRAX Light Rail. Front Runner is a WiFi-enabled train spanning approximately 90 miles along the Wasatch Front from Provo to Ogden, while TRAX connects the downtown area to the Salt Lake City International Airport and the University of Utah.

With an impressive Bike Score of 78, residents will have excellent access to local brewpubs and diverse dining options within downtown, and the location also allows for a quick commute to Interstate 15, linking the greater Salt Lake area and its robust job centers, including the tech-driven Silicon Slopes in the southern valley.

Comprehensive Amenities

Modera Marmalade is designed to accommodate various lifestyles and living preferences, with studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom homes available, averaging 840 square feet in size. Community amenities are set to impress, highlighted by a rooftop deck featuring a resort-style swimming pool, grilling area, fire pit, and outdoor dining options. Residents can also enjoy a variety of additional features, including:

• - A relaxing hot tub and sauna
• - A clubhouse with a game room and a pool table
• - Coffee bar and landscaped courtyards

• - A fitness center with cardio equipment, Peloton bikes, and a group fitness area

The community will also offer practical amenities, including conference rooms, coworking spaces, private workstations, controlled-access garage parking with EV-charging stations, digital package lockers, bike lockers, and additional storage options.

Sophisticated Living Spaces

The interiors of Modera Marmalade will boast two distinct color schemes, nine-foot ceilings, oversized windows, wood-style plank flooring, and high-end stainless steel appliances. Kitchens will feature quartz countertops, tile backsplashes, and custom cabinetry, while bathrooms are designed with double vanities and soaking tubs, all enhanced with smart features such as programmable thermostats and controlled-access technology.
