In every new apartment community, there’s a moment when momentum shifts, milestones are reached, and the community begins to thrive. At The Richmond Apartments in Millcreek, Utah, that moment has arrived.
Since opening in April 2025, The Richmond has grown into a community defined by connection, memorable experiences, and a genuine sense of belonging. With 328 residences, thoughtfully curated amenities, and an expanding retail presence, it reflects the vision we set out to bring to life. Now nearing full stabilization, The Richmond marks a meaningful milestone for both our team and the residents who call it home.
The Right Place, at Exactly the Right Time
Located in the heart of Millcreek, The Richmond was designed to reflect the energy of this fast-growing neighborhood. Offering a blend of vibrant local culture and convenient commuting, Millcreek has become one of Salt Lake City’s most sought-after areas. Residents enjoy shopping, dining, and community events at Millcreek Common, easy access to outdoor recreation in the Wasatch Mountains, and quick connections to Sugar House and Downtown Salt Lake City.
For residents seeking a lifestyle that effortlessly balances work, play, and everything in between, The Richmond has emerged as an ideal home base in Millcreek.
Homes Designed Around How People Actually Live
Step inside any of The Richmond’s studio, one-, or two-bedroom floor plans, and you’ll see the intention behind every decision. Open layouts create a natural flow, while quartz countertops, designer tile backsplashes, modern cabinetry, and stainless-steel appliances set a clean, sophisticated tone throughout. Large windows frame natural light and, in most homes, offer views of Salt Lake City and the surrounding mountains, making every day feel a little more inspired.
Smart home technology, in-home laundry, spacious closets, and private balconies in select homes ensure residents never have to choose between style and function. At The Richmond, they get both.
An Amenity Experience and a Neighborhood Worth Bragging About
The Richmond’s amenity collection was built for everyday living: a two-story, 24-hour fitness center, a rooftop sky lounge with sweeping mountain views, a resort-style pool and spa, and indoor and outdoor gathering spaces designed for connection. Garage parking and bike storage add ease to daily routines, and pet owners love the dedicated pet spa and wash station.
What truly sets The Richmond apart right now are the exciting new retail additions coming to the community.
Opening this spring, Salon Pettine will bring a refined beauty experience to the neighborhood as Millcreek’s newest upscale salon. A Grand Opening celebration is planned for May 9th, featuring piercings, charms, matcha, prizes, and more.
This summer, the neighborhood will also welcome a new fast-casual option from Nettle, focused on fresh salads and grain bowls.
Together, these new businesses reflect the continued growth of The Richmond’s retail spaces, shaping a neighborhood destination that extends well beyond residential living.
