Commitment to Quality

It was 1977 when John Gust began his first commercial development project. Now, 30 years later, that project is still standing strong – as is Arbor Homes, which John formed in the early 1990s. Today, John is CEO and his son Cory is president.

Prior to beginning his first commercial development project in the 1970s, John worked as Director of Facilities and Maintenance for Salt Lake County and Director of Salt Lake City Parks and Recreation. This experience continues to help him in his knowledge and understanding of the relationship between businesses and government.

Over the past 30 years, Gust and his partners have developed more than 23 million square feet of office, industrial and retail space, as well as almost 3,000 residential lots and homes. Arbor has worked with major tenants including Kennecott Copper Corporation, Packard Bell, Smith's Food, Petco, Applebee's, Albertsons, Dollar Tree, Carl's Jr, Walgreens and Lowe's. Arbor is also proud to be a strong supporter of local privately owned businesses.

The Arbor team brings a tremendous amount of experience to the construction, development and government side of their businesses as well as managing and maintaining their properties. But overall, Arbor is proud to be a family-owned company that gives customers the personalized attention they deserve.
