EPHRAIM\u2014A new residential neighborhood is coming to Ephraim and the city manager is impressed with the developer\u2019s plans for the project.<\/p>\n

The Estates at Ephraim Crossing is part of Camino Verde Group (CVG) and the city\u2019s efforts to bring a new technology hub to the home of Snow College and the Ephraim campus of Utah State University. It exclusively features single family home living options.<\/p>\n

Ephraim City Manager Shaun Kjar said he was \u201creally excited\u201d for what the Las Vegas-based developer CVG has planned. Kjar also looks forward to seeing more homes available in Ephraim.<\/p>\n

\u201cI like their comprehensive approach to solving the issues that face Ephraim from a developer\u2019s perspective,\u201d Kjar said. \u201cIt\u2019s exciting to see that they are working closely with us and they are considering the needs of the community as they offer a solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Camino Verde came in and asked what the city needs and then started finding ways to provide that, Kjar said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a developer, they kind of stand at this hub and say \u2018you want more jobs in Ephraim and you\u2019re a company that wants to hire people, how about we meet here and we provide the land,\u2019\u201d Kjar said.<\/p>\n

Kjar echoed much of what Ephraim Mayor John Scott said about CVG.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t want to have a developer come in a dictate to us what they were going to do,\u201d Scott said. \u201cOur cooperation with Camino Verde Group has been very close, especially from the standpoint that almost at every turn they have asked us, \u2018What do you need?\u2019 not \u2018This is what we\u2019re going to do.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of people are really interested in Ephraim right now,\u201d Kjar said. \u201cWe have to be preparing for what\u2019s coming to Ephraim.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kjar added that \u201cit\u2019s neat to see the interest in Ephraim.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUtah\u2019s tech industry has recently experienced tremendous growth across the state and Ephraim Crossing is an ideal place for tech companies looking for a new area that provides affordable housing options and is conveniently located,\u201d said Kevin Romney, partner at CVG.<\/p>\n

The Estates has 44 single family home sites with prices beginning at $285,000. The neighborhood proposes five model home options upwards of 5,500 square feet, including three one-story floor plans and two two-story floor plans. Homes include upwards of six bedrooms and four bathrooms, with optional unfinished or finished basements.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese homes are going to be beautiful,\u201d Ephraim Mayor John Scott said. \u201cThey represent an answer to one of the problems we have here in Ephraim, which is a lack of housing.\u201d<\/p>\n

CVG joined with Sagebrush Homes in the effort. Sagebrush is led by Rob Peccole Jr., CEO of Peccole Development Group, LLC.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are looking forward to working with the entire team at Camino Verde Group as we continue to build up Ephraim Crossing,\u201d Peccole said. \u201cWe have plans to build more in Utah, and Camino Verde Group shares our desire to grow Ephraim into the state\u2019s up-and-coming tech community.\u201d<\/p>\n

After it\u2019s done, Ephraim Crossing will offer Ephraim citizens world-class amenities in a small-town atmosphere, including top-tier retail shops and business spaces. The first building designed for Ephraim Crossing\u2019s business sector is a two-story, 32,000 square-foot co-working building and technology office.<\/p>\n

Ephraim Crossing will propose many living options, from apartments and townhomes to single-family houses. Residents will also be able to go to many retail shops, with shopping space ready for use along U.S. 89 for national and local companies.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to fiercely protect our quality of life here,\u201d Scott said. \u201cEphraim Crossing is an opportunity to work hand in glove with a developer to plan out a new part of our community that is resident-friendly.\u201d<\/p>\n
