Senior living apartments pitched along 800 West near North Temple

by Jacob Scholl | Apr 18, 2025

A new slate of senior living apartments is being planned near North Temple in the Fairpark neighborhood, but it’s not the first time a project has been pitched for the site.

The project, named Madsen Park Senior Living and located at 52 S. 800 West, would include 79 apartment units with studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom units, according to plans submitted to Salt Lake City. The site is just a quarter-mile south of Jackson/Euclid TRAX Green Line station, and it’s just south of the Folsom Trail.

Plans submitted to the city indicate the building is pitched as a LIHTC project, and all units would be offered for people making below 60% AMI. The building would be built over three parcels totaling .38 acres and would replace multiple single-family homes.

The first floor would include parking, a lobby and trash. The 79 units would take up the remaining five floors, and units would not feature balconies. The total height is just under 62 feet tall.

Madsen Park Senior Living is within a TSA area and zoned as Urban Neighborhood – Transit (TSA-UN-T), it’s only planned to have 21 car stalls, and there’s dedicated space for bike parking.

Jarod Hall — the project applicant and owner of Di’velpt Design, which is a Building Salt Lake advertiser — said Thursday this isn’t the first time he’s pitched a project at this location. He pitched the project as a multi-family development back in 2023 with 89 studio and one-bedroom units.

Hall said the plans fell through after the project was not awarded affordable housing tax credits through the state, and he’s giving the development another try as an affordable project after making adjustments.

If the project is awarded LIHTC funds and moves forward, it would be just the latest affordable housing development along the North Temple corridor — as developers are planning or in the process of building hundreds of affordable units just west of Interstate 15.
