PARK CITY, Utah — Tech Center Drive will become Nordic Drive following a unanimous Summit County Council vote, adding another new name to the Kimball Junction development long known as Dakota Pacific.

The council approved Ordinance 1018 during an Aug. 19 public hearing. County Engineer Brandon Brady said the change applies to the portion of Tech Center Drive between Overland Drive and Landmark Drive.

“There are currently no addresses that are tied to Tech Center Drive, so it’s a good time to change the name,” Brady told the council.

County engineering staff began examining a possible name change in late 2024. Staff narrowed the options to Big Moose Road, Nordic Drive, Gold Medal Way and Murdock Peak Road, then asked residents to vote.

Brady said Nordic Drive received the most votes. After discussing the options earlier this summer, council members directed staff to prepare an ordinance making the selection official.

The vote means the road, development and company behind the project will proceed under names different from those associated with years of public debate over the site.

Dakota Pacific Real Estate announced earlier this year that it had rebranded as Six Ridge. County reports now identify its Kimball Junction development as Altus Park City. Six Ridge described the corporate name change as an evolution of the company reflecting its work across six Mountain West states.

The project has a longer, more contentious history. TownLift previously reported that Dakota Pacific sought to redevelop the former Park City Tech Center property into a large mixed-use neighborhood with housing, commercial space, affordable units and transportation infrastructure.

In December 2024, the Summit County Council voted 4-1 to approve an amended development agreement allowing hundreds of housing units on the property. The decision drew substantial public opposition and prompted a citizen referendum effort.

Utah lawmakers subsequently passed Senate Bill 26 in 2025. The law established a separate administrative path for the development and limited the county’s ability to reject a qualifying proposal. Under that process, the county later approved a revised agreement.

During the brief Aug. 19 hearing, a council member jokingly asked whether “Dakota Pacific Drive” had been considered. Brady said it had not. The council then unanimously approved the name Nordic Drive.
