Will the proposed Provo Towne Centre redevelopment be approved by the City Council on October 20?
The Provo City Council is scheduled to vote on a major redevelopment plan for the Provo Towne Centre on October 20, 2026. If approved, the project will transform the shopping site into a multi-use area featuring 1,300 rental apartments and 80 for-sale townhomes.
Why it matters
This redevelopment would significantly shift the local housing supply and retail landscape by integrating residential units into an existing commercial property. For current residents, the project includes the displacement of the Shady Acres Mobile Home Park to make way for new housing and infrastructure.
The plan includes 1,300 rental units and 80 for-sale townhomes while retaining Target, J.C. Penny, and Cinemark. Brixton Capital has offered Shady Acres Mobile Home Park residents a $10,000 relocation fee and an 18-month transition notice period.
The players

The local governing body responsible for reviewing zoning changes and housing density approvals within the city.

The details
Brixton Capital aims to convert the mall into a multi-use site by securing zoning and general plan amendments from the city. The process involves extensive negotiations with city staff regarding walkability, transit access, and designated amenity spaces for the new residents. These structural changes are designed to shift the site from a traditional retail center into a dense, residential-integrated district.

The Home Front
This project mirrors a growing national trend where developers convert aging retail malls into high-density residential hubs to address housing shortages. The plan marks a significant departure from traditional commercial-only zoning by integrating residential townhomes and apartments into an existing retail footprint.
Residents of the Shady Acres Mobile Home Park should review their transition notices and relocation fee documentation carefully. Homeowners near the Provo Towne Centre site should monitor the council's final decision for potential impacts on local transit, traffic, and future property development.
The takeaway
The upcoming vote marks a pivotal moment for Provo's housing future and the residents currently living on the development site. Those impacted should track the council meeting outcomes on October 20 to determine the timeline for potential relocation and development start dates.
