Salt Lake City Warehouse (1197 N. 6880 West) — Salt Lake City, UT
Reports in mid-January 2026 said a vacant warehouse at 1197 N. 6880 West on Salt Lake City's west side was under consideration for conversion into a 7,500-bed detention facility, drawing a protest at the site on Jan 16 and objections from Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall and Salt Lake County Mayor Jenny Wilson.
Denied: On Jan 24, 2026, owner the Ritchie Group said it and its investors had “no plans to sell” or lease the property to the federal government, ending the proposal.
Not the same building as the warehouse ICE purchased two months later at 6020 W. 300 South, below.
