The crossroads and Farr West Landing

It is a roughly fifty acre mixed-use development being built on former farmland at the northeast corner of the Interstate 15 and 2700 North interchange, Exit 349, inside Farr West. The approved plan carries a Target as the one committed anchor, three apartment buildings holding 274 units, and room for more than a dozen additional commercial pads, with the developer Woodsonia Real Estate. Site work is under way with Target as the committed anchor. Other retail and restaurant tenants have been discussed but not confirmed, so treat any name attached to the site as unconfirmed until it opens.

No. It is a construction project with an approved plan, not a place you can shop. Site work is under way with Target as the committed anchor, but nothing is open and no opening date should be treated as firm. The honest way to hold it is as approved, recorded and being built, with the retail still ahead. If you want to see the scale, drive past the Exit 349 corner; if you want to shop it, that is a future trip, and any tenant list you find should be read as a plan rather than a promise.

The approved plan carries 274 apartments in three buildings, not the 260 that circulates widely, including on some of the city's own older material. If the apartment count matters to how you read the project, 274 is the figure to use. Alongside the apartments the plan has a committed Target and room for more than a dozen commercial pads. The city projects the development will lift its sales-tax revenue by more than seven hundred thousand dollars over its first ten years, which is the civic reason a small city pursued a retail base at the interchange.

Three matter. Interstate 15 runs north and south through the east part of the city, with the Farr West interchange at Exit 349, signed 2700 North, which is also the Farr West Landing corner. Highway 126, the 2000 West line, is the north-south spine and the main commercial street, carrying Smith and Edwards and much of the older frontage. And SR-134 crosses the north of the city east to west, running on the 2600 North alignment out of the Plain City area, signed 2700 North at the interchange, and continuing through Pleasant View to Washington Boulevard in North Ogden.

Ogden is about 7 miles southeast, about 12 minutes by surface streets or a short freeway hop. Downtown Salt Lake City is about 43 miles south, a straight run down Interstate 15. Brigham City is about 18 miles north on Interstate 15 and US-89. These are approximate distances from a map rather than schedule-verified drive times, so check a live route for the hour you would actually travel, because freeway timing on Interstate 15 swings a good deal with the morning and evening peaks.

No. There is no FrontRunner commuter rail platform in Farr West itself. The nearest stations are in Roy and at Ogden Central, both a drive from most Farr West addresses, so a household that wants to commute by rail is looking at a park-and-ride at a neighboring city rather than a walk to a platform. Farr West is a strong freeway commute base thanks to Interstate 15 running north and south through the east part of the city, and a weak transit one for the same reason it has no station: it is a small city that grew up around the road rather than the rail line.

It is nearly full rather than fast-growing, and the growth is shifting from houses to shops. Farr West is up about 6 percent since the 7,691 people counted in the 2020 census, and the U.S. Census estimate for 2025, about 8,160, is only about 20 more than the year before. That slow pace is what a mostly built city looks like. The Census Bureau puts the median year a Farr West home was built at 2004, so roughly half the housing is newer than that. The visible growth now is the commercial base arriving at the freeway interchange rather than another subdivision.

It depends entirely on where in the city a home sits. The Exit 349 corner, along Interstate 15 and around the interchange, gets the convenience of the freeway and also its traffic, noise and light, and the Farr West Landing development is about to add to all three on that corner. The west side, out toward the Highway 126 farmland, is quieter and further from the road. For a specific home, the freeway is a feature and a cost at once, so it is worth driving the route and standing on the lot at the hour you would really use them before you decide.

New convenience and new activity, both concentrated at the Exit 349 corner. A Target and a wall of new commercial at the interchange means shops and services close to home for the addresses near that corner, and it also means more traffic, more light and more people on that side of the city. Announced is not built, so weigh a home on what is there now and what the approved plan will add, not on a headline. Read the approved site plan and the traffic study for the exact corner, and weigh the change as carefully as the convenience.
