Murray seeks offers for 5.98-acre former City Hall redevelopment site

Murray has opened a formal solicitation for proposals involving the former City Hall property and adjacent land, moving the site into an official offer process.

A public notice posted July 30, 2026, says the Murray Redevelopment Agency intends to dispose of an approximately 5.98-acre redevelopment opportunity encompassing 5025 S. State Street and 147 E. Myrtle Avenue.

Sale, lease or joint venture proposals allowed

The notice says the property may be disposed of through a sale, lease or joint venture. The city is currently accepting offers through a formal solicitation process.

The notice does not announce a selected developer, transaction structure, completed transaction or final development plan. The immediate change is the opening of the solicitation, not construction approval or a development agreement.

Questions about the current solicitation process are directed to Murray City Community & Economic Development at (801) 270-2428.

Why the Redevelopment Agency is involved

Murray’s Redevelopment Agency is authorized under Utah law to facilitate redevelopment, economic development and community development in designated areas. The city says the agency encourages public and private investment in previously developed areas that are underused or blighted.

The agency’s listed powers include acquiring property, selling or otherwise disposing of property, entering lease agreements and retaining controls or restrictions tied to an approved project-area plan. Those powers provide the agency’s framework for handling redevelopment property, but they do not determine which proposal, if any, will move forward.

Earlier Tower Plaza plan is not the current project

Murray previously published a Murray Tower Plaza Development Plan describing the Triumph Group’s plans to redevelop the old Murray City Hall property at 5025 S. State Street. That page documents earlier planning and does not establish that the same developer or plan has been selected through the newly opened solicitation.

The current notice includes both the State Street property and the Myrtle Avenue address and allows multiple transaction structures. That distinction matters because the city has not yet said whether the property will be sold, leased or included in a joint venture.

What happens next

Potential respondents must participate through the formal solicitation process. The next meaningful developments will be the receipt, review or selection of proposals and any subsequent action by the Redevelopment Agency or other city bodies with authority over the property.

For now, Murray has placed the former City Hall site into an active redevelopment-opportunity process. No final project or transaction has been announced.
