Ogden Market
Ogden is the economic hub of northern Utah, anchored by Hill Air Force Base — the largest employer in the state with over 27,000 military and civilian workers. Northrop Grumman, L3Harris Technologies, and dozens of defense contractors operate in the Ogden-Layton corridor, creating a deep aerospace and defense supply chain. The base's annual economic impact exceeds $4 billion.
Weber State University adds 30,000+ students and drives demand for restaurants, retail, and services. Ogden's historic 25th Street has undergone a renaissance, attracting breweries, restaurants, galleries, and boutique retail. Healthcare is driven by McKay-Dee Hospital (Intermountain Healthcare) and Ogden Regional Medical Center.
Ogden's commercial real estate market is active in the defense-industrial, medical, and downtown mixed-use sectors. The Business Depot Ogden (BDO) industrial park and Riverdale corridor attract manufacturing and distribution tenants. More affordable than Salt Lake City, Ogden offers businesses defense corridor access and a revitalizing downtown at lower overhead.
