Take a peek across Mountain View Corridor. In Daybreak’s “second half,” the Upper Villages raise the bar on walkability, social connection, and—above all—time in nature. The most exciting addition? The Watercourse.
Meet the Watercourse
Imagine a long, meandering network of channels, cascades, and ponds—about a mile of water you can paddleboard in summer and stroll beside all year. Picture waterside picnics, impromptu playdates, and homes with private docks where you can step straight onto the water. Compared with Oquirrh Lake, Daybreak’s original centerpiece, the Watercourse will feel quieter and more intimate by design.
For a 2019 introduction to the vision, see It’s a New Day.
The Cove: A New Destination
Follow the Watercourse far enough and you’ll arrive at the Cove—a planned gathering spot with ponds, a boat dock, a playground, and a large open‑air pavilion. Think outdoor concerts, family parties, and even weddings beneath the stars.
Why It Matters
The Watercourse is long and narrow so more neighbors live near the water and everyone can access it easily. In short, it invites “exploratory living”—paddleboarding with the kids, birdwatching along the banks, or simply sitting on your dock watching kayakers drift by. It’s a natural complement to Oquirrh Lake, forming two “bookends” to Daybreak’s story.
Timeline & Where to See It Now
- Construction: Work on the Watercourse begins in 2019 and will take about three years.
- Homes on the Watercourse: Earliest availability is targeted for 2022.
- Preview the plan: Visit the Hub Info Studio to explore a large 3D map of the Upper Villages. While you’re there, sip a chai from Biscotts Bakery and see how the Watercourse weaves through the landscape.
Close to New Neighborhoods
The Watercourse sits near two neighborhoods already open in the Upper Villages:
- Springhouse Village (55+): designed to keep you as active as you wish.
- Highland Park Village: a wide range of homes plus a huge city park.
