Daybreak is a master-planned community over 4,000 acres (16 km²) in size being built by land development company Kennecott Land in South Jordan, Utah. Home construction began in 2004 and the community is expected to be built-out by 2020. When completed, it will contain more than 20,000 residential homes and 9.1 million square feet (850,000 m²) of commercial space. The Mid-Jordan Line of the light rail TRAX system is expected to reach the community in 2011. The Mountain View Corridor, when constructed, will also provide access to Daybreak, and Bangerter Highway lies along the eastern edge. On October 1, 2005, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints announced that it would construct a temple in the community.
One-third of the land is being kept as open space, providing many recreational opportunities. The major focal point of the community will be Oquirrh Lake, an 85 acre manmade lake that will be used for fishing and non-motorized boating. The lake will be filled in two stages. The first stage was finished in spring 2006. The lake is expected to be fully completed by 2010. All homes in the community are built to Energy Star standards, and numerous other features of the community are environmentally friendly.
