Garbett Homes’ latest project, Axis, is bringing for-sale townhomes to Millcreek. Similar to their townhomes in Salt Lake City’s Marmalade district, this project is classified as Zero-Energy-Ready, a Department of Energy classification that requires meeting standards like being solar panel and EV charging ready, using electric appliances (including HVAC and water heating), and incorporating high-performance windows and insulation.

Axis stands out as one of the few for-sale projects amid a sea of for-lease multifamily developments. Prices for these townhomes start in the low $600,000s, with several already sold. The community offers 24 townhomes, with options for two or three bedrooms. The floorpans range from about 1,300-1,700 square feet, with each townhome including a two-car garage.

Located on Highland Drive, these homes are positioned between Millcreek Common and Holladay Hills, the master-planned development on the site of the former Cottonwood Mall.

In terms of public transportation, UTA’s Route 220 serves the area, providing 30-minute bus service to Downtown, offering residents an option for commuting or exploring Salt Lake City’s urban core without relying on a car. The 2022 Local Link Study, a collaborative effort between Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake, Millcreek, and Holladay, explored the feasibility of a streetcar on Highland Drive, though its implementation is likely several years, if not decades, away.
