Layton is Davis County's commercial center - anchored commercially by Layton Hills Mall, the Hill AFB peripheral service economy, and a manufacturing corridor that includes IM Flash Technology. Our crews cover Layton and northern Davis County on regular routes from Salt Lake City.
Layton's commercial profile is shaped by three distinct economic anchors that don't often coexist in a single mid-size Utah city: the retail and hospitality economy serving Hill Air Force Base and its surrounding residential community, the regional shopping concentration at Layton Hills Mall and the Layton Marketplace corridor, and the advanced manufacturing presence defined by IM Flash Technology - the semiconductor fabrication facility at 3600 N Triumph Blvd that represents one of the largest advanced manufacturing investments in Utah history.
Hill Air Force Base itself is federal property and subject to separate contracting requirements for any work on the base. The peripheral commercial economy surrounding Hill AFB - the hotels, restaurants, service retail, and light industrial buildings along I-15 exits 332 through 341 - is conventional commercial property subject to Layton City and Davis County permitting. These buildings serve a population with high housing turnover (military assignment cycles) and relatively constant demand, which produces a distinctive commercial building ownership profile: long-term investors and local operators who own buildings that have been in continuous service for 20 to 40 years.
Layton Hills Mall - the regional shopping center at 1200 N Main Street - has anchored retail in northern Davis County since its opening in 1980. The mall and its peripheral power-center additions represent decades of retail roof cycles - the main mall structure has been through multiple replacement generations, while the most recent additions from the 2000s and 2010s are approaching their first major maintenance milestone. From our Salt Lake City base, Layton is 30 to 40 minutes north on I-15.
Layton Hills Mall at 1200 N Main Street encompasses the original enclosed mall structure from 1980 and peripheral additions spanning the 1990s through the 2010s. The original mall structure carries its most recent replacement generation - likely from the late 1990s or early 2000s - and is approaching or at replacement age again. Peripheral big-box additions from the 2000s carry first-generation TPO systems approaching mid-life. The most recent lifestyle retail additions from the 2010s are in early maintenance cycles.
The Layton Marketplace and the commercial corridor along Main Street north and south of the mall carry strip-center, big-box, and freestanding restaurant and retail buildings from the 1980s through the 2010s. Buildings in this corridor represent the full spectrum of roofing cycles - from 1980s modified bitumen at end of life to 2015-era TPO under active warranty. We run condition surveys on this corridor regularly as part of our north Davis County route.
