Many believe the Southwest Temple will be the Herriman Utah temple (Herriman temple). While the LDS church has not further reported the city the southwest temple will be located in, some also believe it may be in neighboring Bluffdale city.

Rosecrest

History

Rosecrest is a large continuing development in South-SouthEastern Herriman, Utah. Approximately 2000 homes exist in Rosecrest currently with between 200-400 added each year [2].

Land Battles

Rosecrest recently won a lawsuit with partner land owners/developers that likely will allow 4000acres to be annexed out of neighbor city Bluffdale into Herriman to further expand the Rosecrest/Herriman housing projects. The lawsuit stemmed from years of struggle between Bluffdale city officials, strict city building requirements, and Rosecrest.

Management

Rosecrest is owned by parent company Sorenson Companies founded by the late James LeVoy Sorenson and currently assisted by his son the younger
