Provo’s Tech Future Brightens with Innovative Incubator Project

By Katerina Gasset

Living right here in Provo, Utah, I've always been proud of our city's knack for innovation and growth. But let me tell you, the latest news in town has taken this to a whole new level!

Ryan Smith, the co-founder and former CEO of Qualtrics, is setting his sights on transforming Provo into a tech incubator hub, and as a local and a licensed realtor, I'm buzzing with excitement about what this means for our community.


The Dawn of a New Tech Era in Provo

  • The Vision: Ryan Smith's plan is to create a live-work tech incubator community, right here in Provo.
  • Location and Size: Named 'The River District,' this ambitious project will sprawl across 26 acres near Provo Canyon.

Two years ago, Ryan Smith approached Provo with an idea that sparked my imagination as a resident and a professional in real estate. His vision to invite and mentor global entrepreneurs in a dedicated community is not just innovative; it's transformative.

Why The River District is a Game-Changer

  • A Legacy Continues: Building on the success of Qualtrics, valued at $12.5 billion, Smith aims to guide new tech talents.
  • Economic Boost: Such a project is bound to drive economic development, attracting investment and new residents.

As someone deeply connected to Provo's growth, I see The River District as a beacon of economic and community development. The blend of residential units and office spaces in this communal setting is not just about building buildings; it's about building futures.

The River District: A Blend of Community and Innovation

  • The Composition: The plan includes 198 residential units and 300,000 square feet of office space.
  • Community Focus: It’s all about creating a space where collaboration and innovation are part of daily life.

When Keith Morey, Provo’s economic development division director, shared his enthusiasm for the project, it resonated with my belief in Provo's potential. The collaboration between Smith and the city reflects our shared vision of a thriving, forward-thinking community.

  • Real Estate Opportunities: For us in the real estate sector, The River District represents a surge in demand for both residential and commercial spaces.
  • Tech Hub Aspirations: This development positions Provo to become a significant player in the tech industry, not just in Utah but nationally.

As a local realtor, I'm thrilled at the prospect of guiding new and existing residents through this exciting phase in Provo's journey.

Provo’s Path Forward with The River District

  • A Magnet for Talent: This tech hub is set to attract entrepreneurs and tech professionals, enhancing our city's talent pool.
  • Community Transformation: The project promises to transform not just Provo’s skyline but also its economic and cultural landscape.

My Perspective: Living and Working in a Budding Tech City

  • Personal Excitement: Witnessing Provo's transformation into a tech incubator hub is exhilarating.
  • Professional Outlook: The real estate market in Provo is poised for dynamic growth, and I'm here to navigate these changes with you.

About the author of Move to Provo Utah Website 

Katerina Gasset

When I moved here I was blessed to have my daughter to help with different things you need to know when you move to a new place. I had background from living here before but things have changed a lot too since the '80s. 

We were able to get all the good places to eat down fast - since she knows all that and we have a lot of the same likes in food. But things like how to turn on my electricity or what power company services my home... well... I was at a total loss! 

I know that other people moving to Provo don't always have family here to guide and help them. And most people don't have a real estate agent who gives them a welcome package on all the important numbers and places they need to know. 

My goal is for this website to be your go to resource for everything you need to know before, during, and after you move here to Provo, Utah. I want you to have the best experience and love living here as much as I do
