Kennecott Land

About us

If you talk to your neighbors and ask them what they want for their kids and grandkids in the future, you’ll find that we all want pretty much the same things: close family, good health, economic prosperity and outstanding quality of life —as good as, or better than our own. Kennecott Land has a plan for balanced growth that will help keep jobs and family right here in the Valley for decades to come.

At Kennecott Land, we’re already moving in that direction. As part of Rio Tinto, an international mining company, we are committed to sustainability in all our operations. We’ve begun with the opening of Daybreak — a South Jordan community that not only celebrates our deeply rooted values but also provides a model for future growth and economic prosperity. Even as Kennecott Utah Copper will provide copper to the world for many years to come, Kennecott Land is transforming surplus mining land into high-quality communities. We can orient these new communities around a variety of employment centers offering a mix of office, retail and other commercial uses. And we can provide for a public transit corridor to connect these communities and employment centers.

On the pages of this web site, you can see how these ideas might begin to take shape. We invite you to visit Daybreak and tell us what you think.
