01 · Thesis

You bought the cars.

Where will you keep them?

Not a garage. A private residence. For your cars.

Fewer than 2,000 units completed for 23 million residents in Florida. Pipeline of 4,309 — only 17% under construction. The mountain West has almost none.

02 · The Valley

A valley that still looks like a valley.

The Heber Valley sits on the quiet side of the Wasatch — the Back, as locals call it. Irrigated pastures, split-rail fences, barns that have earned their weathering. And above it all, Mount Timpanogos: 11,752 feet of rock and snow closing the horizon.

Midway, at the valley’s western edge, was settled in 1859; the Swiss families who arrived in the decades that followed gave it its Alpine character. They read this landscape correctly — high meadows, cold water, long winters — and built accordingly: precise, unhurried, made to last. The town still keeps that grammar.

That is the tradition Wasatch Gård belongs to. A gård is a Nordic farmstead: buildings in service of the land they stand on, built once, built properly, passed down.

Fifteen minutes over the hill, Park City runs at full speed. The valley lets you choose your pace. That choice is the point.

03 · Territory

Fifteen minutes from Park City. A world apart.

04 · The Roads

Motorsports abound.

Aspen-lined mountain road · Rocky Mountain West
Aspen-lined mountain road · Rocky Mountain West

Those two words are not ours. They are lifted straight from the land listing for this corridor — plain Utah understatement for what surrounds the valley.

Guardsman Pass climbs out of Midway and drops into Big Cottonwood Canyon. The Alpine Loop winds beneath the north face of Timpanogos through miles of aspen. And the Mirror Lake Highway runs forty-two miles into the Uintas, cresting at 10,715 feet. All of them begin within minutes of the site.

Long alpine summers, dry air, empty early mornings. Roads like these are the reason the cars exist. A residence for them belongs where the driving does.

05 · The Decade Ahead

The Wasatch Back is arriving.

None of what follows is our forecast. It is public record — announced, financed, and already under construction around the valley.

01

Deer Valley East Village

The largest ski-resort expansion in North American history is being built twenty minutes away: new lifts, a walkable village above the Jordanelle Reservoir, and more than a thousand private residences at the base. Deer Valley is growing from 4,300 skiable acres toward 5,726 at build-out.

2034 Winter Olympics

Salt Lake City–Utah hosts the Games on February 10–26, 2034. Roughly half the events take place around Park City — and the Nordic and biathlon venues sit at Soldier Hollow, in the Heber Valley itself. The University of Utah’s Gardner Institute projects US$ 6.6 billion in economic output.

Structural growth

Wasatch County is Utah’s projected growth leader — on track to more than double by 2065. Summit County, next door, holds the state’s highest household incomes, and Park City’s median single-family sale crossed US$ 3.1 million in early 2026. The Heber Valley alone drew 868,000 visitors last year.

06 · The Building

Nordic precision in the American West.

Black standing-seam steel, white oak, polished concrete, full-height glass. Buildings drawn with the same restraint as the mountains behind them — long roof lines, deep eaves, no ornament. Made to hold snow, shrug off sun, and age into the landscape rather than against it.

07 · The Unit

The cars below.

Life above.

Every unit is a private, climate-controlled residence for automobiles: full-height motorized glass doors, a mezzanine overlooking the collection, and finishes that belong in a home, not a warehouse. Three configurations for Phase 1:

The Driver
2 bays · mezzanine office
  • Two climate-controlled bays
  • Full-height motorized glass door
  • Mezzanine office overlooking the cars
  • Storage and detailing corner
A quiet place to end the drive.
The Loft
3 bays · lounge + terrace
  • Three climate-controlled bays
  • Mezzanine lounge with kitchenette
  • Private mountain-view terrace
  • Guest parking at the door
Sunday morning starts here.
The Collection
4 bays · gallery
  • Four bays in gallery arrangement
  • Residence-grade mezzanine
  • Terrace facing the ridge line
  • Provision for lift and archive wall
A room your cars deserve.

All units share the owners’ lounge — bar, workshop, and detailing suite — reserved for members and their guests. Final specifications are defined with founding members.

08 · A Morning

Snow on Timpanogos.

Coffee on the mezzanine, the cars waking up below. The glass door rises without a sound.

Cold air. Warm engine. No schedule.

The road is empty.

Some mornings are worth building a house for.

09 · Founding Members

Eight to twelve owners.

Before anyone else.

Wasatch Gård begins as deeded real property — each unit individually owned, recorded, and yours to keep or pass on. Phase 1 is limited to a founding group of eight to twelve owners, assembled by invitation. Founding is a position, not a transaction:

01
First choice of position
Founding members choose their unit before the site plan is final — corner, view, orientation.
02
Founding basis
Founders enter at founding terms, defined privately and in writing before any public phase.
03
A voice in the spec
The shared program — lounge, workshop, detailing suite — is specified with the founding group, not for it.
04
The founding roster
A named, permanent place in the project’s history. The people who made it exist.
05
Priority in what follows
Future phases and sister projects open to founders first.
06
Guest privileges
The lounge and grounds extend to your family and invited guests, from day one.

Membership by invitation only. This page is not an offer; terms are discussed in person.

10 · Identified Sites

The land is chosen before it is announced.

Two sites are under evaluation in the Midway–Brighton Estates corridor: twenty-four acres with five approved entitlements, power and fiber already at the site, bordered on three sides by Wasatch Mountain State Park; and seventy-two acres of high meadow nearby. Details in conversation.

11 · Direct Conversation

By invitation.

For the eight to twelve. We talk position, founding terms, and the timeline — directly, in private.
