"In our role as the state's real estate advisor, RCLCO has helped guide the site's planning with market, financial, and partnership analysis, and worked alongside DFCM in the developer solicitation process to identify and evaluate candidates. It's gratifying to see the project take a giant step towards implementation," said Erin Talkington, Managing Director of RCLCO. Going forward, RCLCO will continue to play a key role in negotiating the development agreement, advancing the public finance strategy, and ensuring the Hub development plan supports the broader site's goals.

Development strategy for public sector and non-real estate entities is a key focus area for RCLCO. RCLCO's team provides local governments, universities, family trusts, sports teams, and other similar entities with the same investment grade market, financial, economic, and development services expertise that has earned the firm a top-notch reputation in the private sector, and can help guide jurisdictions throughout the planning and implementation phases of their real estate initiatives.

"RCLCO's subject-matter expertise has proven invaluable to the Land Authority as we move forward with implementing a future-focused vision for America's newest 15-minute city right here in Utah," said Alan Matheson, The Point executive director. "Their team of national experts have helped us create in-depth market analysis, develop a robust public financing strategy and identify a well-known development partner. We appreciate their top-notch services and look forward to continuing to work with them."

The Land Authority announced earlier this month that Innovation Point Partners, led by national developer Lincoln Property Company with local partners Colmena Group and Wadsworth Development Group, have been selected to help build The Hub at The Point. Their announcement comes after a competitive selection process to identify a partner with experience building large-scale, sustainable communities.

"The Point represents the single largest and most significant development site in the country in recent years," said Abbey Ehman, vice president with Lincoln Property Company. "Lincoln and our partners are honored that the Land Authority has chosen our team to deliver an innovative, community-centric development that leverages sustainable, transit-oriented solutions and celebrates the area's natural beauty and wealth of outdoor opportunities."
