The Utah Jazz are building a new practice facility. Here’s where and what you need to know.

Last year, the Smith Entertainment Group agreed to a deal that would continue to see the NBA’s Utah Jazz and the NHL’s Utah Mammoth play their games at the Delta Center downtown.

The Jazz’s other home, however, is on the move.

On Tuesday morning, SEG owner Ryan Smith and company announced plans to move the basketball team’s practice facility into The Shops at South Town in Sandy, adjacent to the Mammoth’s facility. The Jazz’s new space will be on the east side of the mall.

“The hub of innovation is around here, and a little bit more south, right here in Silicon Slopes,” Smith said. “Being close to all of that, and also having the community to be able to be around what we’re doing — this is the first major campus, I think, that will feel like this."

Construction will begin this fall, SEG said. Smith estimated that the project would be done in “less than two years,” but likely not in time for the Jazz to practice there to start the 2026-27 season.

SEG purchased the 111-acre South Town site last year.

The Jazz currently practice at the Zions Bank Basketball Campus, at 1420 S. 500 West, in Salt Lake City. But the Smith Entertainment Group doesn’t own that real estate; the Larry H. Miller Company does.

“While we haven’t determined the exact use of the facility after SEG moves, we recognize its value as a unique office and sports campus minutes from downtown and the airport,” Steve Starks, CEO of the Larry H. Miller Company, said in a statement.

The new practice facility will have many of the same amenities as the old one, which was renovated in 2017: two basketball courts, a locker room, a kitchen, and workout and training spaces for the Jazz. The Smith Entertainment Group will also move its corporate offices to Sandy.

“The current spot is great,” Smith said. “But if this isn’t an upgrade, we’ve done something wrong. This will be one of the top facilities in the entire sports world.”

Newly hired Jazz President of Basketball Operations Austin Ainge and head coach Will Hardy will help design the facility. The pair have been involved in meetings planning the design of the facility, though both acknowledge many of the plans are still undecided.

“Sports science is a big part of this, and strength training,” Ainge said. “We’re also trying to think through the flow, we want interaction amongst the different groups ... we’re going to work on a place where the hockey players and the basketball players can congregate and hang out.” Hardy said, generally, there weren’t any amenities he needed to see added in the new design.

Babcock Design, Okland Construction, and Ezra Lee Design + Build are assisting SEG in the design and construction of the Jazz’s new facility.

The movement of the practice facility could also see some of the team’s players move farther south.

“I think guys are going to want to live within a half hour of where they come every day, right?” Ainge said. “We already have some players that live in Sandy and Draper and down at this end, and we have some that live downtown. I think we’ll continue to have that whole span, but it wouldn’t shock me if a few more moved a little further south.”

Despite Tuesday’s announcement, SEG retains a multi-year sponsor partnership with Zions Bank that includes the naming rights of the Salt Lake City facility, but the name has not yet been decided for the Sandy facility.
