HERRIMAN, UTAH — Buchanan Street Partners, a real estate investment management firm based in Newport Beach, Calif., has completed construction of Incline at Anthem. The active adult community, restricted to residents over age 55, brings 298 apartment units to the Salt Lake City suburb of Herriman. Buchanan Street Partners purchased the partially completed Incline project in 2017 with a vision to reposition the original development plan, adding high-end finishes and upscale amenities to deliver a Class A community. Incline at Anthem is surrounded by a mountain backdrop and is adjacent to the southern boundary of Daybreak, Utah’s largest master-planned community. “Utah’s population has increased by 9 percent in the past five years, the highest rate in the country, putting added pressure on an already constrained housing market,” says Kevin Hampton, executive vice president of Buchanan Street Partners. “Regional growth and the increasing demand for a quality living experience by what we think are very youthful seniors bode well for the success of this project.”
