What is Happening in Layton

KIHOMAC will begin construction of a new 50,000 square foot facility located just south of the existing facility at 3800 N Fairfield Road. The new building will provide space to develop multiple products which do not require a secure facility, provide additional storage capacity, and create 30 additional jobs. The facility will also include internal “start-up” space for innovating new products and creating solutions to existing products, and space to develop an in-house apprenticeship program to attract new talent, currently not attainable through other methods. In addition, this apprenticeship space will be offered to other employers in the aerospace and defense industry through a separate agreement between that employer and KIHOMAC.

Layton Hills Mall has served as both a successful regional shopping area and an economic engine for northern Utah over the past decade. The new owners of the Layton Hills Mall plan to continue that tradition. Second Horizon Capital (Mall owners) and The Tabani Group (Mall pad owners) purchased the mall in the fall of 2025.  Second Horizon  immediately began reinvesting into the interior mall space with significant renovation to various elements including; paint, lighting, stairs, kiosks, and inclusion of many community events. Plans for additional investment to the exterior will occur over the next couple of years, starting with parking lot improvements and improvements to to the electronic billboard sign along Interstate 15. Tabani Group is bringing an exciting new restaurant to fill the recently vacated Denny’s. Layton is excited to see what will become of the mall over the next few years and are grateful to the new owners/partners for their interest in our community.

The new West Davis Corridor Highway was completed in January 2024, providing an alternative transportation option to Salt Lake and the Salt Lake International Airport.  The $800 million highway provided a new interchange in Layton at 2700 West which is designated on the City’s General Plan as a business park.  A 2022 market and impact study for the highway conducted by Lewis, Young, Robertson and Burningham indicated a market demand of 3.3 million square feet of business park use (light impact industrial, office), in addition to 25,000 sq. ft. of office, and 95,000 sq. ft. of retail.  Since the highway opened there has been immediate increased interest and demand to develop this property for the planned uses identified.
