LGI Homes, Inc. opened its 700‑home Desert Edge community in Grantsville, Utah, on Saturday, April 18, 2026, marking a significant expansion into the Salt Lake City market.
The new development offers 700 homes with three‑, four‑ and five‑bedroom floor plans ranging from 1,328 to 2,662 square feet. All homes include the company’s CompleteHome™ interior package at no extra cost, and pricing starts in the low $400s, positioning the community as an attractive option for first‑time buyers.
Amenities in the community include a park with playgrounds, a basketball court, horseshoe pits, covered picnic areas, a play field, restrooms, walking trails and shaded seating. The location is highlighted for its proximity to local parks, dining and shopping, reinforcing its appeal to families looking for convenience and community life.
The opening aligns with LGI Homes’ strategy to grow its presence in high‑growth entry‑level housing markets. The company has set a target of 160‑170 active communities by the end of 2025 and is focusing on markets like Grantsville, where the median list price is $595 k and inventory dynamics are favorable for new developments.
LGI Homes reported Q4 2025 earnings on February 17, 2026, with earnings per share of $0.97—$0.01 above estimates—and revenue of $473.97 million, a 15.0% year‑over‑year decline. The results provide context for the company’s ongoing expansion and the financial performance that underpins its growth strategy.
Nick Smith, Vice President of Sales for Salt Lake City, said, “We are proud to deliver thoughtfully designed, high‑quality homes to Grantsville that make homeownership more attainable for first‑time buyers.” He added that the company is committed to “delivering lasting value and creating a place that families are proud to call home.”
