Pluralsight, an education software company currently based in Farmington, has announced that it is moving its worldwide headquarters to a new campus in Draper. The 350,000-square-foot office and its amenities will be located on more than 30 acres of undeveloped land at 65 E. Highland Drive, in an area that is recognized as part of the Silicon Slopes tech corridor. The company plans to break ground this summer.
Founded in 2004, Pluralsight employs 850 at its Farmington headquarters and its other location in South Jordan. The company said the move will consolidate its operations and create up to 2,400 jobs over the next 10 years.
“Our new worldwide headquarters will provide us with the space we need to bring our entire Utah workforce together in one collaborative environment,” said Aaron Skonnard, co-founder and CEO of Pluralsight. “We are excited to create a campus from the ground up that Utahns are proud of and our customers and partners around the world love to visit.”
Pluralsight will lease the land from the Gardner Company/Stalker Company, which owns the property and will develop Pluralsight’s new campus. Chris Falk of the Salt Lake office of Newmark Grubb ACRES represented Pluralsight in its transaction.
"We applaud Pluralsight for its leading role in Silicon Slopes and the greater Utah technology community,” said Christian Gardner, president of the Gardner Company. “We’re thrilled to be a part of the planning and execution of Pluralsight’s new home and one of Utah’s most iconic developments to date.”
“Pluralsight’s culture, as evidenced by their rapid growth both nationally and internationally, is unmatched and will be ingrained into this vast campus development,” said Falk. “They are literally blazing new trails in the SaaS world and everyone is eager to see where they lead. I’m excited that both the state and local municipalities recognized who Pluralsight is both in the professional and humanitarian realms and responded to retain them. I think it speaks volumes for Utah.”
