Chuckwalla
A 12-acre parcel at the corner of HWY 18 and Snow Canyon Parkway, perched high with fantastic views. Currently in the entitlement and engineering phase, with an expected roll-out by 2025.
Project Overview
Protecting Local Access
Chuckwalla is a strategically located 12-acre development site at the corner of HWY 18 and Snow Canyon Parkway in St. George, Utah, positioned high above the surrounding corridor with expansive views and regional visibility. The site presented significant technical, topographical, and entitlement complexity, requiring a sophisticated development approach.
Through detailed engineering, entitlement work, and ongoing collaboration with local stakeholders, Rize advanced Chuckwalla as a long-term value opportunity that reflects both development expertise and community awareness.
Community Impact
Chuckwalla reflects Rize’s commitment to responsible development and constructive civic engagement in St. George. Rather than forcing outcomes in a challenging entitlement environment, Rize worked collaboratively with local jurisdictions to explore alternative paths that align with broader community goals. This approach prioritizes fiscal responsibility, land stewardship, and long-term public benefit, demonstrating how private development can support municipal planning efforts while preserving future opportunity for the site and the surrounding community.

Strategic Development Vision
Rationale for Growth
The Chuckwalla project underscores a core principle of Rize’s development philosophy: value is not created solely through approvals, but through informed decision-making, adaptability, and alignment with community interests. In markets like St. George, where growth pressure intersects with political, environmental, and infrastructure considerations, the ability to navigate complexity is a differentiator. Chuckwalla demonstrates Rize’s capacity to extract value from technically and politically challenging sites by balancing entitlement strategy, fiscal planning, and long-term community benefit, positioning both the project and its partners for future opportunity.
