Rapid Growth of Health-Tech Company Part of Ongoing Commercial Real Estate Trends in Northern Utah County


SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwired - Jul 27, 2015) - Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce announced today the closing sale of Thanksgiving Station 4, a 61,594 square feet Class A office space located at 2100 W. Ashton Blvd., in Lehi, UT. Jeff Rossi, Executive Director with Cushman & Wakefield | Commerce's Tenant Advisory Group, represented the buyer, Prosper Healthcare Lending (PHL), to make room for the company's rapidly expanding health financing services.

Prosper Marketplace, PHL's San Francisco based parent company, purchased American HealthCare Lending, LLC in late January 2015. With economic incentives to grow, PHL wasted no time in expanding from thirty employees at the beginning of February to seventy-five employees today, and plans to create 460 more jobs by 2020. "They are growing so rapidly," Rossi said. "We had to secure temporary space, approximately 20,000 square feet in Draper, while awaiting the completion of Thanksgiving Station 4."

Prosper is a unique company, bridging all three of Utah business's major growth sectors: finance, technology, and healthcare. The company's decision to settle in Lehi reflects a trend of many young companies its size, who are attracted by the area's proximity to FrontRunner, building efficiency, immediate availability for on-site expansion, and perhaps most importantly, its access to a growing workforce of young, well-educated, talented women and men in Salt Lake and Utah counties. 

Prosper's new office acquisition is part of a small boom happening at the Point of the Mountain. "Lehi continues to lead Utah County in new construction and preleasing," Rossi said. "With over 750,000 square feet of space currently under construction, and almost 70 percent preleased. No end is in sight -- at its current pace, we expect the North Utah County submarket will double over the next two years."
