Utah County's First Whole Foods Is Coming to Lehi in 2027

Utah County is finally getting a Whole Foods Market, and it is landing in Lehi. The grocer will anchor The Collective at Morning Vista, a new 134,000 square foot retail and dining development at the northeast corner of Timpanogos Highway (SR-92) and Morning Vista Road. Construction broke ground in May 2026, and the project is on track to open in late 2027.

For years, Whole Foods shoppers in Utah County have had to drive north to Sugar House or Trolley Square, or make the trip up the canyon to Park City. That changes soon. This will be Utah County's first and only Whole Foods location, and it is arriving right in the heart of Silicon Slopes.

What's Coming to The Collective at Morning Vista

The development is a joint project from CenterCal Properties and Perry Commercial, the same team behind some of the West's most recognizable retail destinations. Jean Paul Wardy, co-founder and CEO of CenterCal, said the goal was to build something with a genuine architectural identity and a highly curated tenant mix, not just another strip center.

Alongside Whole Foods, early reporting points to new-to-Utah dining concepts joining the lineup, positioning the center as a true destination rather than a standard grocery-anchored plaza.

This Matters for Lehi and Utah County Real Estate

Grocery anchors move markets. A Whole Foods opening is one of the clearest signals a submarket has crossed into a new tier of demand, and Lehi has been building toward this for a decade.

Here is what buyers and sellers in the area should pay attention to:

• Home values near the corridor. Retail anchors like this typically lift demand and pricing in a half mile to one mile radius as the opening date approaches.
• Commute and lifestyle appeal. SR-92 and the Timpanogos Highway corridor already serve major tech employers. A Whole Foods and dining hub adds a lifestyle amenity that tech workers actively search for when relocating.
• New construction timing. Builders active near Lehi and Saratoga Springs will likely use proximity to The Collective as a selling point starting now, well ahead of the 2027 opening.
• Long-term appreciation. Utah County continues to see population growth driven by the tech economy, and amenity-driven growth like this tends to compound over a 3 to 5 year window.

The Bigger Picture: Silicon Slopes Keeps Growing

Lehi has transformed from a bedroom community into one of Utah's most in-demand cities, driven largely by the tech companies that call Silicon Slopes home. A first-to-market Whole Foods is the kind of amenity that signals a city has arrived, and it tends to follow rooftops rather than lead them, which means the surrounding neighborhoods have already been absorbing demand.

If you are watching the Lehi market, or thinking about buying near Morning Vista before the retail center opens, now is the time to start paying attention to inventory and new construction releases in that corridor.
