If you are one of the seeming few who have stopped by Rockwell Square in Draper lately, you might be wondering where all the other buildings are that were supposed to be built. I wondered the same thing until I dropped in the other day and took a look at the place.
First, let me say that I really like Rockwell Square. I live nearby and drive past them everyday. I love the location, the building, and especially the future plans for the adjacent land. It was thought to be rumor at first, but now I hear it is actually true that all the land east of Rockwell Square will be turned into a large Draper park, possibly eventually serving as the main park for the city. There is just one spot of the land that will not be set aside for park and that is the part where the old houses currently sit. One of the local homebuilders has purchased that land and will be putting a few homes there.
As for the rest of the development, it will still happen. It might not happen this year, but they claim it will still happen. That pesky little thing called the economy got in the way the last time they tried to build out the entire development. Then as if that wasn’t bad enough, there was trouble with their bank when they wouldn’t allow financing unless a certain portion of the building could be filled. Well they weren’t selling so they couldn’t move forward. But now things should be moving since they switched banks, and FHA lending has been approved.
With that knowledge, I encourage y’all to stop by and take a look at the inside. I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how upgraded and spacious they are. For the price, there really is no reason these condos haven’t been filled already. You’ll notice the sign outside says they start at $189,900, which is really incredible considering what they started at back when the economy was good.
So check them out at the corner of Bangerter Highway and 13800 South.
