Vineyard, Utah – October 16, 2025
Utah City is a groundbreaking, 700-acre mixed-use development along the eastern shore of Utah Lake in Utah County. A collaboration between The Flagship Companies Group and Woodbury Corporation, it combines residential, commercial, and institutional spaces, including a 20-acre Huntsman Cancer Institute campus, into a thoughtfully designed, walkable environment. Designed by renowned city planner Jeff Speck and DPZ CoDesign, Utah City prioritizes timeless architecture, walkability, integrated public spaces, and active lifestyles, setting a new benchmark for large-scale developments in the region.

Vision and Philosophy
According to Jacklyn Briggs, Director of Marketing for Utah City, the community’s ethos is about putting people first. Briggs sat down with TechBuzz recently and explained how the development will foster:
- Community engagement: By creating spaces where people naturally interact and share experiences.
- Entrepreneurial and creative energy: Small-scale entrepreneurship, arts, and cultural initiatives are encouraged within the neighborhood.
- Health, wellness, and sustainable living: From the geothermal district energy system to Peloton-powered fitness amenities, Utah City emphasizes a lifestyle that balances technology, sustainability, and wellbeing.

Briggs described Utah City as a “laboratory for culture and innovation,” where walkability, outdoor spaces, and thoughtfully designed public areas promote both physical health and social cohesion.

Wellness Integration: Peloton Partnership
A defining feature of Utah City is its partnership with Peloton, making it the first Peloton-powered community in the U.S.
Key elements of the Peloton partnership include:
- Peloton Spaces in every residential building: Residents have access to private workout pods and spacious gyms equipped with Peloton bikes, Row machines, and the new Tread+ Pro (available January 2026).
- AI-Powered Fitness: Peloton equipment integrates AI features such as personalized workout plans, performance tracking, and cross-training options.
- Community Wellness Programs: The UC Sweat Series offers regular events like sunset Pilates and yoga, encouraging active participation in fitness as a communal activity. The inaugural outdoor yoga class drew over 200 attendees.

Peloton’s Greg Hybl highlighted that this collaboration sets a new standard for wellness in urban developments, integrating health as a core component of residential living rather than as an afterthought.

Community and Culture
Utah City’s design emphasizes shared experiences and cultural engagement:
- Walkable neighborhoods and connected streets encourage spontaneous social interaction.
- Public parks, trails, and wellness spaces integrate physical activity into everyday life.
- Arts, entrepreneurship, and creative hubs: The development fosters an environment for local businesses, small-scale creatives, and cultural events.
Briggs envisions Utah City as a living experiment in community building, blending social, cultural, and wellness-driven programming to create an environment where residents are both healthy and connected.

Sustainability and Technology
- Geothermal district energy system: Provides energy-efficient heating and cooling for all buildings. TechBuzz will follow up on Utah's City energy plans as they develop.
- Smart and connected residential amenities: Peloton’s AI and advanced fitness technology complement broader sustainability and wellness initiatives.
- Forward-thinking infrastructure: Emphasizes longevity, energy efficiency, and integration with natural surroundings, including Utah Lake and the Wasatch Mountains.

Utah City is positioning itself as an experiment in modern, holistic urban living. By combining wellness, technology, sustainability, and culture, it aims to create a neighborhood where residents can thrive physically, socially, and creatively. Its partnership with Peloton and its plans to incorporate energy innovations, perhaps sourced here in Utah, underscores this vision, bringing world-class fitness directly into the heart of daily life, while community events and walkable design foster connections that extend beyond individual health into broader social wellbeing.
