Jobs per $1M spent in construction

The Salt Lake City construction market is experiencing a period of sustained growth, positioning it as one of the strongest in the nation. Projections for 2025 indicate annual spending will reach $2.9 billion, contributing to a total three-year investment anticipated to be $8.7 billion. This boom is fueled by significant projects across multiple sectors, including large-scale residential developments expected to add over 1,700 new units, and major public investments in infrastructure and education. The robust market is creating a significant number of jobs, with total construction employment expected to surpass 148,000 in 2026. However, this rapid expansion is not without its challenges. The market faces a significant tradesmen shortage, evidenced by a construction unemployment rate of just 2.8%. This labor scarcity is driving wage increases and remains a key factor shaping the industry's trajectory.

Key Growth Sectors

Residential Development

Salt Lake City has six large residential projects under construction in 2025 that will add over 1,700 units and approximately 3,000 new residents to the area, driving significant housing expansion.

Public Infrastructure

Major infrastructure overhauls are underway including the full reconstruction of 700 West, bridge replacements, and residential road upgrades, with projects extending through 2026 to support the city's rapid growth.

Commercial and Retail Spaces

Salt Lake City's construction market is experiencing sustained growth with projected annual spending of $2.9 billion in 2025, fueled by commercial development despite a recent slowdown in retail construction across the county.
