“This move will
streamline our research and development,” said Robert Coomes, Vice President Business Development at
FLSmidth. “Midvale City has been a great partner in
making this happen. Our employees will
have the benefit of mass transit, easy access to the major freeways and open
space. Newly built homes, condominiums
and apartments will be just across the street.”
In Utah, FLSmidth
specializes in separating base and precious metals from rock and earth extracted
from mining operations. Robert Coomes added,
“In this new location, our researchers and product managers will be side-by-side
as they perform product testing or lab work.
This will fast-track the creative process as we develop new technology,
and new ways to recycle the water used in the mineral extraction process, which
is a precious Utah resource.”
Midvale City, in
partnership with locally based Gardner Company and Arbor Commercial, has been
planning the View72 Corporate Center since 2007. The office park’s two million square feet of class A office and technology/lab
buildings are designed to be environmentally sensitive and energy efficient
using state-of-the-art technology and materials. It will enhance the lifestyles of the
employees who work there, and foster the success of business.
“This is the last expanse of open space in the middle of
the Salt Lake Valley,” said Midvale Mayor JoAnn Seghini. “We are proud and excited to have FLSmidth as
View72’s first tenant. We believe this
development will open the door for additional businesses who want to relocate
and bring quality jobs to Utah.”
